Unforgettable - Route of approximately 10 km and back to the Esmeralda lagoon, a pocket of water that is formed from the melting of the glacier Ojo Albino. On the way you will find forests, rivers and dams made by the castors. The trail is easy but do not take too much weight or you will get tired. Vc also needs to hire a guide and a transfer from Ushuaia to the entrance of the trail that is on the edge of Ruta 3 but far from the center of Ushiaia.

Good experience - Julian who's been the guide, a crack. And the site has been spectacular, it is worth doing the trail, although I have reached the day with rain and everything with mud, when you reach the final destination it is worth

Emerald trail and lagoon impermeable - The trail is light in difficulty, go and go gives about 5 hours with the guide who will stop at some points to give information. It's very organized. The lagoon is the most beautiful thing!! A show! There we stay a while to take pictures, enjoy, eat the snack that the agency offers and then we will return. All excellent, super recommend.

Entertaining Trecking to arrive at a beautiful Postcard! - Entertaining and beautiful scenery!! We did the trecking in about 3hs, there was mud and it is technical more for the mud and the branches but it is what makes it entertaining in addition to the spectacular landscape when you leave the forest. It's marked and if you're not guided by people, we did it without guidance.

Good hike in the snow! - This isn’t a difficult hike but you do need to take it seriously (it had been snowing that morning)! The tour operator rightly insisted on boots (not trail shoes) which we hired for around £6. Our guide was very good and informative. Always a pleasure to hike in a group.
