We will take you to live the most demanding adventure of the end of the world where you will reach a glacier accompanied by a high mountain professional guide who will constantly assist you to finish the adventure safely. The transport will pick us up at the accommodation and will take us 7 km from the city of Ushuaia to the valley of Andorra. We begin the demanding ascent through the forest and typical Fuegian vegetation. After an arduous walk and halfway you can see the magnificent landscapes of millenary peat that surround us. Then we cross the border of vegetation (timberland) where an imposing lagoon and the Vinciguerra Glacier awaits us with its most incredible ice caves in the world that generate great admiration for nature. While we enjoy this wonderful place, we will charge energy by eating our box lunch. Once finished we take photos and we will be willing to undertake the return, with the same requirement; perhaps with the luck of finding some beaver and many more experiences

    That'a really nice one!...

    That'a really nice one! Our guide was awesome. Be ready for the mud in the wetlands otherwise it's a good hike 😉

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the Témpanos Lagoon Hike and that our guide made the experience even better. The wetlands can get a bit muddy, but that’s all part of the adventure! 😉 We hope to welcome you again for another great experience in Ushuaia!

    Hard but Rewarding Hike

    This hike should be rated hard! Overall it was an estimated 9 miles. The first half is uphill and extremely steep bearing the lagoon. There were a lot of roots, mud, and loose rocks. Before beginning the hike our guide gave us a bottle of water, sandwich, desert, and souvenir mug for lunch and tea at the glacier. Make sure you bring a large enough backpack! It was very scenic and through many different landscapes. It was exhausting but definitely worth it! The guide stopped as needed for our group to rest and assisted with crossing the mud and small rivers. We went through sun, rain, and snow. Bring lots of layers! We were taking layers off and adding throughout the entire hike. At the glacier it was snowing.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed experience on the hike! We appreciate your insights and are delighted to hear that despite the challenging terrain, the scenic landscapes made it a worthwhile adventure. It's great to know that our guide provided thoughtful provisions and assistance when needed, ensuring your safety and comfort during the changing weather conditions. Your advice about bringing a large enough backpack and dressing in layers will undoubtedly be helpful for future hikers. We're thrilled that you found the hike exhausting but worth it, and we hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences with Latitud Ushuaia Travel!

    Tempanos Lagoon hiking: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tempanos Lagoon hiking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 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 Tempanos Lagoon hiking take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Tempanos Lagoon hiking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tempanos Lagoon hiking?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Tempanos Lagoon hiking suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tempanos Lagoon hiking?

    +

    Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tempanos Lagoon hiking 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 Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. 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.

    What is included in Tempanos Lagoon hiking?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and trekking's sticks. Not included: Suitable clothing for trekking. Trekking shoes MANDATORY, without exception; and Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tempanos Lagoon hiking include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Tempanos Lagoon hiking offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +
