Description

What sets our tour apart is the way we combine an authentic small-group trekking experience with genuine local hospitality and responsible tourism. Rather than simply visiting Emerald Lagoon, our travelers experience the journey through the Fuegian forests, peat bogs, streams and mountain valleys with a professional local guide who shares knowledge about the environment and the unique ecosystems of Tierra del Fuego. We also include a homemade box lunch, allowing our guests to enjoy a local-style meal surrounded by nature. Food is served using reusable materials and we do not provide single-use plastics. At Arpón Trekking, sustainability is part of how we operate. We participate in the Ushuaia Eco Pledge, share environmental awareness information with our travelers, and encourage responsible practices throughout the experience. Our goal is to create memorable trekking experiences while helping protect the destination we love.

The guide can make your experience good or fantastic!!

Julian, at most!! Super good guide, although it was a varied group, I always take care of everyone. Box lunch, the fact that they use reusable tuppers and earthenware fees, at most. Cups should be souvenirs because they're beautiful. Super good service, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. 🫶🫶🫶

Unforgettable

Route of approximately 10 km and back to the Esmeralda lagoon, a pocket of water that is formed from the melting of the glacier Ojo Albino. On the way you will find forests, rivers and dams made by the castors. The trail is easy but do not take too much weight or you will get tired. Vc also needs to hire a guide and a transfer from Ushuaia to the entrance of the trail that is on the edge of Ruta 3 but far from the center of Ushiaia.

Muito obrigada por compartilhar sua experiência! 😊 A Laguna Esmeralda é realmente um lugar especial, com as paisagens lindas, as florestas e as represas de castores pelo caminho. Ficamos felizes que você tenha aproveitado a trilha! Só para esclarecer, a caminhada é considerada fácil a moderada e pode ser feita por conta própria — guia e transfer desde Ushuaia são opcionais, mas podem trazer mais conforto. Obrigada novamente pelo seu comentário!

Good experience

Julian who's been the guide, a crack. And the site has been spectacular, it is worth doing the trail, although I have reached the day with rain and everything with mud, when you reach the final destination it is worth

Emerald trail and lagoon impermeable

The trail is light in difficulty, go and go gives about 5 hours with the guide who will stop at some points to give information. It's very organized. The lagoon is the most beautiful thing!! A show! There we stay a while to take pictures, enjoy, eat the snack that the agency offers and then we will return. All excellent, super recommend.
