Itinerary
Departure from the hotel by land (20 km) to the trailhead. From there, the hike begins, passing through peat bogs and ancient forests of lenga and cohiue trees. There's always the chance to spot foxes, condors, and beavers.
We are located in the heart of the Tierra del Fuego Nature and Landscape Reserve. We arrive at Laguna Perdida, with its stunning water colors and its geographical location in the heart of the Tierra del Fuego mountain range. From there, we will enter the main tributary of Laguna Perdida, which has its source in the Ojo de Albino glacier.
We arrive at the glacier, which will amaze us with a Dantesque spectacle of ice and mountains. We put on our crampons and begin exploring the glacier. We arrive at the Beban viewpoint where we have lunch. We continue the journey, stopping at stunningly beautiful panoramic points. We return to the trailhead and return to the hotel. And we prepare for the next experience!
