Emerald Lagoon Comfort (trekking + lunch at the refuge)｜Argentina

In the southern environment of the Fueguino summer, where the snow is no longer part of the landscape, spring breezes blow, and the sun covers the entire mountain, we find a magical proposal.

Through a native forest, we'll get to know the Esmeralda lagoon and end up in a warm mountain dome, where a hot lunch will turn into a unique gastronomic experience in front of a wood salamander.

Our adventure kicks off by following National Route 3 towards the entrance gates of Ushuaia city. Mount Olivia and Mount Cinco Hermanos clearly show us the way to go. Once in the Tierra Mayor valley, we'll start a 5 km trek (10 km in total) towards Laguna Esmeralda.

The valleys we'll cross are the result of erosion caused by immense glaciers in the past, and today we can see the history of those glaciers reflected in the color of the water.

After getting instructions from our guide, we'll dive into a sub-Antarctic forest, a former lumberjack territory and current beaver habitat.

Finally, we'll arrive at the lagoon. At this time, we must go around it to reach our refuge, crossing by trekking between stones and streams. An experience that will surely be etched in our memory.

The dome offers us shelter, and the warmth of the fire revitalizes us after the hike. A tasty mountain stew, a friendly chat, and a shared moment will complete the experience. There'll be a comforting hot coffee to enjoy while we admire the area before heading back, charged with the energy of the south.
