- Trekking Laguna Esmeralda from Ushuaia
We leave the hotel by minibus overland (20 km) heading to the Tierra Mayor Valley. From the Nunatak refuge, we begin the hike, during which we cross peat bogs, streams and centuries-old forests of lengas and coihues. There is always the possibility of seeing foxes, condors and beavers along the way.
The Esmeralda Lagoon is located in the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature and Landscape Reserve. The color of its waters and its privileged location, in the middle of the Fuegian mountain range, invite you to take a break to rest on its banks and enjoy lunch.
Finally, we started the return to the refuge by a different route than the one we used on the way there and then returned to the hotel.
