Trekking Ojo del Albino glacier

NOV - ABR

From november to april

This highly demanding trek allows you to explore two iconic locations in the area: lagoon Esmeralda and the Ojo del Albino glacier. It takes you through diverse ecosystems such as forests, peat valley, and high-altitude vegetation. The first part of the hike is easy, leading to the lagoon and the following forest.

Once beyond the tree line, we enter a rocky terrain where the ascent to the glacier begins. You will cross varying sizes of rocky terrain before reaching the glacier and its lagoon. The landscapes and viewpoints towards the Fuegian Andes are truly unique. The predominant terrain consists of muddy forest and rocky ground. Excellent physical condition is required for this trek.
