Trekking Glaciar Ojo del Albino
- We begin our excursion by picking up the passengers at their accommodation and heading north of Ushuaia along National Route N°3 for 20 km until we reach our base of operations, where we prepare to start this trekking adventure.
- We cross the Tierra Mayor Valley, entering lenga and peat forests and a final ascent until we reach Laguna Esmeralda, whose incredible colour comes from the melting of the Ojo del Albino glacier.
- We continue forward for about 650 meters. Once we leave the vegetation limit, we advance through mountain terrain with continuous slopes that require the most significant physical demands of the route.
- Traveling between large rocks, we reach a natural terrace with a view of Laguna Esmeralda and the Sorondo mountain range, in which Mount Olivia and the 5 Hermanos mountain stand out. Finally, we ascend to the Ojo del Albino glacier.
- At this excellent point, we enjoy the lunch box and rest to begin the return to the base of operations, returning to the vehicles that take us back to the hotel in Ushuaia.
