Hiking Tours

About this activity

Trek to one of Ushuaia's least-visited glaciers, combining dramatic ice formations, pristine lagoons, and remote mountain valleys in a single 8-hour adventure. This small-group excursion ventures beyond the typical tourist circuits, offering a more intimate experience of Tierra del Fuego's raw wilderness with expert bilingual guidance.

We invite you discover a hidden side of Ushuaia with our Vinciguerra Glacier trekking excursion, which will take you off the beaten touristic roads, to an area of a great appeal. We will visit the Vinciguerra Glacier, the Témpanos Lagoon and the Andorran Valley. All accompanied by expert bilingual guides. The excursion includes Lunch Box

Highlights

  • Vinciguerra Glacier – dramatic ice face rarely seen by standard tour groups
  • Témpanos Lagoon – turquoise meltwater lake surrounded by untouched peaks
  • Andorran Valley – remote alpine terrain with sweeping Patagonian vistas
  • Expert bilingual guides with in-depth local knowledge
  • Small-group format ensures personalized attention and flexibility
  • Packed lunch included to maximize time on the trail

Insider tips

  • Start early to maximize daylight in this southern latitude; winter daylight is extremely limited, so confirm seasonal availability before booking
  • Bring a good camera with a wide-angle lens – the scale of the glacier and valley is impossible to capture on phone cameras
  • Wear waterproof, layered clothing; Tierra del Fuego weather changes rapidly, and glacier proximity creates wind chill
  • Ask your guide about wildlife en route – guanacos and Magellanic woodpeckers are commonly spotted in the valley

Good to know

  • 8-hour duration includes walking time, so fitness level should support 4–5 hours of active trekking with elevation gain
  • Bring sturdy hiking boots with good ankle support; terrain is rocky and can be muddy
  • Sun protection essential – UV reflection off ice is intense; sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses are mandatory
  • Meeting point and pickup logistics: confirm departure location in Ushuaia (likely city center or hotel) with supplier after booking
