Overview
Embark on an accessible hike in the southernmost city globally, aiming to reach the stunning Emerald Lagoon. Commencing our journey north from the hotel, a brief 20-minute drive from the city, our guide provides insights into traversing the Lasifashaj Valley. The well-defined path varies with the season, guiding us through peat bogs and rocky landscapes.
Continuing through additional forest, we walk alongside the Esmeralda River until we reach the captivating Laguna Esmeralda—a glacial lake renowned for its unique color, influenced by sediment from the Ojo del Albino Glacier. This vibrant hue is exclusive to summer, transforming into a frozen, snow-covered spectacle in winter.
Pause to appreciate the Lagoon's beauty while enjoying a box lunch. The return journey retraces familiar terrain, offering a final opportunity to admire the surrounding wonders. Completing our hike, we meet our awaiting vehicle, ready to transport us back to the city of Ushuaia.

Laguna Esmeralda
This hike is one of the most accessible that can be done in the southernmost city in the world. The main aim is to reach the Emerald Lagoon. After leaving the hotel we go in the north direction, about 20 minutes from the city. Once arrived the guide will explain to us that we must cross the Lasifashaj Valley along a very clear and marked path, we will cross several peat bogs and rocky terrain. After a little more forest, we continue along the Esmeralda River until we reach the amazing Laguna Esmeralda, a small lake of glacial origin, which owes this name due to its color produced by sediments that come from the Ojo del Albino Glacier. This color can only be seen in summer, while in winter it will be frozen and covered with snow. While we enjoy the view of the Lagoon we will load energies eating box lunch. We will be able to undertake the return. Once the walk is over we will meet again with the vehicle that will be waiting for us to take us back to the city of Ushuaia.
