About this experience
A classic adventure at the End of the World, an accessible hike to an Emerald Lagoon. We will pick you up at your accommodation to start our trip to the National Route, where we will start our journey to the starting point. There we will get ready for a 4.5 km hike to the lagoon. During approximately 2 hours, we will cross lush forests, peat valleys, crystalline rivers and majestic mountains. Following the course of the Esmeralda River, we will approach our destination. The lagoon gets its name from the unique color it acquires thanks to the sediments of the Ojo del Albino Glacier, this being the best time of the year to appreciate it in all its splendor. While enjoying this breathtaking scenery, we will recharge our batteries with a delicious box lunch before returning along the same trail, allowing us to once again appreciate the beauty of the environment and discover new angles to capture photographs.

Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience?
+
Around 0 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ushuaia Trekking to Laguna Esmeralda Experience 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.
