Just 15 minutes from Ushuaia, this trekking adventure takes you through pristine peat bogs, native lenga forests, rivers, and breathtaking mountain landscapes of the Fuegian Andes. The trail gradually ascends toward the alpine zone, leading to the stunning Tempanos Lagoon and the impressive Vinciguerra Glacier, one of Ushuaia’s hidden natural gems.
