4.Small group Trekking to Vinciguerra Glacier and Témpanos Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $149Top rated

Travel from Ushuaia with a guide such as Gisela, Violeta, Leo, or Diego, then hike through Fuegian forest to Témpanos Lagoon and Vinciguerra Glacier. The route climbs 600 meters and covers about 14 kilometers round trip, with mud, roots, rock, ice, and steep sections. Lunch, hot drinks, poles, crampons, transport, and insurance are included.

“Understanding and supportive guide that did an excellent job balancing individuals' hiking skill and fitness levels. Guide's english skills needed some work; it was unclear if guide's limited discussion of the local area's flora and fauna was due to lack of knowledge or lack of english language skills. Overall, I recommend.”
