Lovely, moderately challenging hike - We were given trekking poles (1 or 2 depending on your preference) which I found helpful to steady yourself on the hike. It starts easy and flat, then you're climbing up through the tree line and it was rather steep in places but you can take your time and stop to rest. It's flat again crossing the peat bog (on wooden platforms) but then there is a very steep part just before reaching the lagoon. Your guide will assist you if needed in certain challenging spots and lend you a hand. The lagoon is beautiful and you spend up to an hour sitting and eating a sandwich they've given you and an alfajores cookie. You can also have coffee or tea to warm you up. Be aware that depending on the weather, you might get chilled sitting here so bring layers. The hike back is much faster as you're not stopping for photos like on the way in. Overall, it was about 2 hours in and 1.25 hours back. I'm not in great shape and while challenging in the uphill portions, was able to do it just fine with occasional stops to catch my breath.

Lest we forget - A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, I exceed my expectations. Trekking is simple for the whole family. Upon reaching the lagoon there are amazing views. It was my turn as a guide manu, who was able to answer all the questions of the ride. Includes a little sandwich and an alfajor of Calafate delicious! I'd come back a thousand times

Highly recommended! - The tour was well organized. The guide knew how to answer & explain every question that came to my mind and even more. Both the guide and the driver were charming and gave tips beyond the trip itself. And most importantly, the views were amazing! Even in relation to Patagonia, they were a pleasant surprise. I Highly recommend it!

Great excursion, highly recommend! - This was a great excursion! Juanse was our tour guide and he did a great job getting our group settled in. He had lots of great knowledge about the history and terrain of Tierra del Fuego and it was so fun to do the hike with a group. I highly recommend!

The perfect way to spend half a day - It was a fun hike - not too easy, but not too difficult either. The views on the way to Laguna Esmeralda (and in the way back) were amazing and the Lake itself is just beautiful, especially when the sun comes out and turns the water a bright turquoise color 😍. The pickup and drive were flawless ad our guide Manu was excellent. He has a lot of background knowledge about the area, the beavers' history and the trail itself. A lunch package and coffee for the stop at the lake were included. The whole experience was 100 % worth it and I would recommend it to anyone.
