Ojo del Albino Glacier
There is an ice world surrounded by the End of the World’s wild landscapes waiting for you in Tierra del Fuego.
Do you dare walk through a frozen path of more than 20 kilometres long? This challenge is waiting for you in the city of Ushuaia. Put on the crampons, grasp your trekking stick, and set off your adventure to the Ojo del Albino glacier. Follow your mountain guide, and get deep inside forests and peat bogs. Go through the Tierra Mayor valley, and get to the paradise: Esmeralda lagoon.
Go on with your adventure through a rising slope among rock formations. Gaze at the vastness of a high mountain landscape, and be rewarded for your effort: you’ve made it to the Ojo del Albino glacier.
