Our experience seeks to personalize the service to the maximum, ensuring that our traveling friends can contemplate a very complete trekking in the best possible way. We arrived at this magnificent place, crossing a valley, a peat bog and ascending the rocky slope of a mountain. The views of the glacier and the Laguna de los Témpanos are unmissable. We begin the walk in the valley of Andorra, where after crossing ancient peat bogs we enter the Fuegian forest, gaining altitude until we reach the shores of the Laguna de los Témpanos where we will have impressive views of the Vinciguerra Glacier. After exploring the surroundings and touching the ice, we will enjoy the box lunch and begin the return walk.

    Incredible experience

    Amazing experience with a great guide in Nico, it did snow the night before and a little during the day but it made it even better. Was a big hike but definitely worth it in the end!

    Must do trekk. Once in a lifetime experience.

    Difficult, demanding, but absolutely doable and above all extremely rewarding. There is no way to describe the beauty of this trekk and the breathtaking experience of being inside a glacier. Daniel and Marcos were super professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We take this trekk as the diamond on the crown of our trip to the end of the world.

    About the caves

    Hello. I am a mountain guide from Ushuaia, I regularly guide this hike. I'm stopping by to let you know that THE PHOTO indicative of this tour is outdated. At the moment the caves in Vinciguerra are much smaller and it is up to the guide whether to enter or not for safety reasons. In any case, I 100% recommend this hike.

    Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 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 Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia?

    +

    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 Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia?

    +

    Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia 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 Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia?

    +

    Included: Trekking Poles and Ice Crampons; Breakfast; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 35 listed pickup locations in and around Ushuaia. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    Is Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier from Ushuaia if the weather is bad?
