Ushuaia, más que una ciudad, es una puerta a la naturaleza virgen y misteriosa. Y una de las joyas escondidas de esta tierra es la caminata “Experiencia laguna esmeralda”. No es solo un trekking, es una inmersión en la belleza natural, en la historia y el corazón de la Patagonia.
Ushuaia Treasure Walk
Start of the adventure
From the moment you leave your accommodation, the experience begins. Just 20 minutes from the city, we enter a trail, which varies depending on the season. You will walk through peat bogs, rocky terrain and, best of all, bordering the Esmeralda River.
The jewel in the crown: Laguna Esmeralda
After touring a charming forest, you arrive at the majestic Emerald Lagoon. A lake of glacial origin that in summer gives us a spectacle of unmatched colors, thanks to the sediments of the Ojo del Albino Glacier. In winter, its white blanket offers us a surreal landscape. While we appreciate this wonder, we are going to delight ourselves with a delicious box lunch.
The return to the city
The return path, now familiar, gives us the last opportunity to mingle with the magic that surrounds us. And at the end, a comfortable vehicle awaits us to take us back to the warmth of the city.
