Description

Between 8 and 9 AM you will be picked up from your Hotel In Ushuaia and transferred to the meeting point to start this adventure. You will depart towards Tierra Mayor Valley. Once at the beginning of the path, you will start your 2-hour hike towards Emerald Lagoon. Most of the year the ground is humid, which gives a medium difficulty to the trek. Enjoy a path covered with dense native forests and streams (over 5 miles with a cumulative elevation gain of 580 ft.). Emerald Lagoon is hidden and located at the foot of the Ojo de Albino glacier, between Cerro Bonete and Cordón Toribio. It is an excellent place for spotting foxes, condors, and beavers. Once arrive at the shore, marvel at the turquoise water while you take a break. The colors that mix between the emerald green of its waters and the coppery red of the peat bogs, added to the other, greens, and browns of the mountains that enclose it and the albino white of the glacier achieve a visual charm and a wonderful chromatic amplitude. At the end of the tour, enjoy a box lunch including: Meals: Piece of Fruit, Cereal Bar, Sweet Snack. Sandwich: Roasted beef cold cuts with finely chopped & roasted bell-peppers, onions, tomatoes, garnished with green leaves, shredded smoked cheese, and parsley milk mayonnaise. Mineral water.
