Sitting roughly 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) northeast of Ushuaia, Laguna Esmeralda is a stunningly scenic location tucked into the tip of the Andes Mountains!
Our adventure to this unique and interesting place begins at 9 am when I come to pick you up at your accommodation and we drive on to the trailhead.
From here, we will hike on mostly flat terrain, passing through a native forest, hanging glaciers and imperious looking mountains before we arrive at the emerald-green waters of the laguna.
The laguna is surrounded by the Glaciar Albino, a craggy peak known as Las Torres and another one known as El Cordón Toribio. In this stunningly scenic spot, we will stop to enjoy lunch.
After eating lunch, we can visit a small waterfall and then begin trekking back to the trailhead and driving back to Ushuaia.
Overall, the hike is fairly easy since it is mostly flat. We will walk about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) round trip and only gain 100 meters (330 feet) in elevation.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, scenic and exciting 1-day hiking tour from Ushuaia to Laguna Esmeralda!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you may also enjoy my 1-day trek to Cerro del Medio in the Andes Fueginos, also near Ushuaia!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
