Ideal for nature enthusiasts, this tour ventures into the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature Reserve and Landscape, home to the stunning Emerald Lagoon. The 4-hour Ushuaia Esmeralda Lagoon Trek provides opportunities to admire scenic landscapes and observe local flora. With luck, you might even spot foxes, condors, and beavers along the way.
In the morning, our adventure begins with hotel pickups from selected Ushuaia locations, marking the start of our exciting journey.
We will embark on a minibus journey covering approximately 20 km to reach the Tierra Mayor Valley, a hub for various excursions. Our destination is the Nunatak refuge, situated in this picturesque valley. Starting our trek from the refuge, we will traverse through peat bogs, streams, and the ancient forests of Lengas and Coihues, showcasing the typical vegetation of the region. And if we are lucky, we may even encounter local wildlife, including foxes, condors, and beavers.
We will continue our trek until we reach the captivating Emerald Lagoon, located at the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature Reserve and Landscape. The unique color of the water, along with its strategic location in the Cordillera Fueguina, invites us to pause along its shores, taking in the beautiful scenery. It's at this point that we'll be provided with our Lunch Box, allowing us to savor our meal surrounded by the natural beauty. Upon concluding our time at the lagoon, we'll make our way back to the Nunatak refuge, following a different path from our initial route. This allows us to further explore and appreciate the diversity of the reserve.
From the refuge, we'll board the minibus for a comfortable return to our hotels by approximately 4:00 pm, bringing our journey to a close.

Very nice trip with good view of nature. The road is not a difficult but is muddy and need wear high water proof shoes. The guide is professional and friendly.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful natural views and had a great experience with our guide. We hope to see you again on another adventure soon! Tangol Tours
Quiet walk in the snow and absolutely rewarding. We were lucky to catch snow on the road that made all the difference. Wonderful landscape on the way and when you get to the lagoon the feeling is indescribable. We were offered delicious snack and soup. Our guide Sonia was exceptionally dear and attentive. A fox was waiting for us in the snow! A gift! Immense gratitude to be able to live moments like what we are living. Nice walk
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário! Ficamos felizes em saber que você teve uma experiência tão especial na Lagoa Esmeralda. Esperamos recebê-la novamente em breve para outra aventura incrível!
All frozen then is called WHITE LAGUE. It is necessary to put chains of crampons on the shoe. Track average difficulty. It can be done on the ground but I indicate Agencia as it is an isolated place (no cell phone) and the weather can snow or rain without notice. Agency took 2 guides with the group and we had to sign Termo Responsibility, so it's the tip. It's not that simple! Spectacular place and walking through the woods.
Wonderful and challenging walk, with unique landscapes. The best part is when you arrive at the emerald lagoon, which is beautiful, breathtaking. The tour requires trekking shoes and warm, waterproof clothing. Walking time is around 5 hours, so be prepared
The incredible place. Spectacular journey. The bad thing, do not use the purchase route because even though they tell you without taxes, they charge you in dollars, since it is paid in Argentina. That route they offer here is a total scam.
New experience, you should be prepared with comfortable trekking clothing and footwear. Juan, the very cool and helpful guide.
Tour was executed in a timely manner. Our guide Amaya was very knowledgeable and she covered a lot of things while we hike up to the lagoon. We had enough time at lagoon to take pictures and enjoy the beauty. Lagoon is a beautiful spot and a must visit for tourist to Ushuaia.
The walk is beautiful and very well organized. It is difficult for a person who does not play sports, they minimize it but at times you have a hard time if you are not in good physical condition.
The excursion was incredible and Diego the guide was a genius, all the time attending to different needs. I use and recommend 100%
One of the places that have impressed me the most, is a small place with many places where you can make excursions either by land hiking or by sea, if you plan to visit Argentina it is worth considering Ushuahia.
