Laguna de Los Tempanos and Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking – Summer- Ushuaia

Enjoy this incredible hike through the beautiful valleys of Patagonia! A fantastic experience.

During this route, we will walk along rivers, learn about the work of beavers, and the cultivation of peat bogs. We stop to see the beautiful Laguna de Los Tempanos.

We’ll depart from Ushuaia towards the base of the Vinciguerra mountain range.

Upon arrival, we will put on the necessary equipment for the hike, crampons (if there is a lot of ice and snow) and walking sticks.

We start the hike by passing through a valley, enjoying the delightful sound of the river. Our guide will show us the beaver dams and tell us the story of these animals that were introduced to this region years ago and have a significant impact on the environment. We will also learn about peat bog cultivation, which is very common in the region.

Next, we enter the lenga forest. Lengas and nires are typical trees of Patagonia and offer us beautiful images due to their unusual shapes. With the sense of peace provided by the forest, we continue our journey until we reach the base of a waterfall, where we stop for a few minutes to replenish our energy and enjoy a fruit.

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, we face an uphill climb for over an hour, encouraged by the magnificent view that unfolds as we ascend.

Then, we reach Laguna de Los Tempanos. This wonderful lagoon is named after the small icebergs that can be seen in its waters quite often. On the shores of this natural paradise, we sit down to have a snack.

With our eyes full of beauty, we return to the base of the mountain, certain that we have experienced a rare adventure.
