Esmeralda Lagoon
There’s an unforgettable excursion in Tierra del Fuego, very close to the capital of the End of the World.
Are you looking for an adventure to discover beauty? Set out on a journey to the city of Ushuaia, and speed it up along the road that takes you to a winter sport centre: Altos del Valle. Find a path inviting you to walk. Go through a forest, explore a peat bog, cross a brook through a log bridge, and let the charm of Esmeralda lagoon captivate you.
Get amazed with the turquoise waters. Gaze at the snow peaks reflected on the water mirror. Walk around natural paths that will take you to a valley that has been eroded by glaciers for millions of years. Look at the beavers that will follow your steps. And once the valley comes to an end, let the panoramic view of Toribio range and Bonete hill flabbergast you. Enjoy this experience in the province of Tierra del Fuego.
