Hike to one of Ushuaia's most striking alpine lakes through Tierra del Fuego's windswept landscape, learning about unique peat ecosystems and native wildlife along the way. This 5.5-hour adventure blends scenic beauty with hands-on naturalist education, ending with a included snack to refuel.

The trek will combine dream landscapes with excitement and lots of fun. It is an innovative trekking excursion, since we add information on flora and fauna, as well as you will be able to know the peat and its components, among so many moments of the route.
