About this experience

Discover the paradisiacal secret hidden in the mountains of Tierra del Fuego: the Laguna Esmeralda trekking. Do you like nature and the mountains? Then this hike is for you.

  2. Mirador Del Valle Carbajal

    En route to the Emerald Lagoon, a stop at the Carbajal Valley Lookout invites you to stop and take in one of the most imposing landscapes of Tierra del Fuego. From this scenic point, an extensive valley of glacier origin unfolds, covered with peat bogs, meandering rivers and surrounded by the imposing Fueguin mountain range. It is the ideal place to take pictures, breathe fresh air and connect with nature in its purest form. On clear days, the contrasts of colors and the breadth of landscape make this stop an unforgettable moment within the excursion.

  3. Laguna Esmeralda

    The arrival at the Emerald Lagoon is the highlight of the walk, where nature is shown at its best. Its intense green waters, fueled by the melting of the Ojo del Albino glacier, contrast with the surrounding mountains, forests and turbulence. The landscape is serene and majestic, ideal for lounging, taking photographs and enjoying a unique moment in the heart of Fueguina mountain range. It is a place that invites you to disconnect, appreciate the silence and take an unforgettable memory of the end of the world.

Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.

How much does Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch cost?

+

Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.

Is Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 11. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Guided Trek to Laguna Esmeralda with Lunch start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?

+

On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking, Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, Lakes 4WD Off Road with Lunch at Lake Fagnano from Ushuaia. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Ushuaia?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
