Your Journey to Turquoise Lagoon, Step by Step:
Your adventure kicks off with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Ushuaia, taking you directly to the trailhead. From this point, we embark on an exhilarating ascent through the majestic Olum Valley and the Sorondo Mountains.
As we climb higher, the lush forest gradually gives way to rugged mountainous landscapes, offering increasingly stunning vistas. Though the trail is challenging, the effort is immensely rewarding. Our expert guides will lead the way, unveiling the secrets of the region's flora and fauna while ensuring everyone's safety.
The pinnacle of this adventure is truly breathtaking: arriving at the shores of the Turquoise Lagoon, a stunning body of water nourished by a hanging glacier, whose sediment creates a vibrant, almost surreal turquoise hue. Here, we'll take a moment to savor our energizing box lunch, rejuvenate, and simply soak in the awe-inspiring surroundings, with sweeping views of nearby giants like the Sierra Alvear.
