For safety reasons, mountain clothing is necessary for this activity. In case you do not have the appropriate clothing you will have the option to rent.
We get to the starting point by following national route 3 for about 17 kilometers; we begin the hike at the trail’s parking lot, which quickly takes us deep into the forest.
The trail takes us close to a beaver dam and crosses the valley until finding a peat bog, where it will follow the Esmeralda river all the way to its source in the Esmeralda lagoon. After a final climb, we will get to the lagoon: frozen in the winter and dazzling us with its stunning color during the summer.
If the weather is good enough, we will have lunch by the lagoon with a breathtaking view of the Albino glacier, the lagoon, and the surroundings.
Afterward, we will take the same trail back to the transfer that will take you to your hotel.

We had an amazing trekking with our guide Estefania Larsen. We’ve experienced stunning spring landscapes with snow and green. Laguna Esmeralda was one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been to.

Buen servicio. Lo contratamos de forma externa via civitatis para una excursión en Ushuaia y la verdad que sin quejas, muy bueno

I could have done it on my own. The guide had a bad attitude, she didn't seem to like what she was doing. I didn't like it. Too expensive for too little experience. You can do it alone
