Trekking Mount Susana

ALL YEAR ROUND

Summer version: from october to april

Mount Susana is located approximately 7 km west of the city center of Ushuaia, rising from the shores of the Beagle Channel to a height of 570 meters. It is one of the few mountains in the vicinity of the city that has the characteristic of having a rounded summit, a result of glacial erosion.

The hike begins near the shores of the Beagle Channel. The trail ascends through the forest with a steady but not very steep slope. In some sections, the path may be muddy as it traverses the south-facing slope of the mountain, which has higher levels of moisture. However, for the most part, the terrain tends to be stable.

After approximately an hour and a half of hiking, you will reach the city viewpoint, which also offers a magnificent view of the Beagle Channel and the Hoste and Navarino islands. About a kilometer further, you will reach the highest point of the mountain, from where you can also admire the Murray Channel, Zaratiegui Cove, and Lapataia Bay.
