I experienced one of the most challenging and memorable treks in Ushuaia.
Embark on a 21-km hike through Fuegian forests, glacial valleys, and frozen lagoons until reaching the breathtaking Ojo del Albino Glacier in the heart of the Andes Mountains. A challenging hike, ideal for people with mountain experience, which rewards you with unique landscapes and the support of certified guides and technical gear. A trek that leaves a lasting impression.
