Description

Come with us to explore the enchanting Emerald Lake, near Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina. Get ready to trek through a magical native forest and unwind beside a crackling fire in a cozy mountain dome!

Your journey starts on National Route 3, leading you towards Ushuaia's gates. Mount Olivia and Mount 5 Hermanos guide your path. Deep within a dirt valley, we'll begin our 5km trek (10km round trip) into a stunning mountain paradise.

Carved by ancient glaciers, the valleys we'll explore reveal their history in the vibrant hues of the glacial lakes. After a briefing on using crampons and walking sticks, we delve into the sub-Antarctic forest, a landscape once shaped by loggers and now a haven for beavers.

Our journey culminates at the lagoon where, depending on the season, it might be transformed into a frozen wonderland. With your guide's approval, you can even walk across the ice, a truly thrilling experience!

After a long and rewarding trek, our cozy dome awaits, offering a warm fire to melt away the chill. A mountain stew, friendly conversation, and shared experiences complete the restorative experience. Contemplate the beauty of the landscape with a steaming cup of coffee before returning to Ushuaia.

About the guide

Pedro

Mountain Guide

My name is Pedro (Peter) Lima. I was born in Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. I always felt passion for adventure sports, like climbing, trekking, snowboarding. Also water sports and whichever activity practiced in natural environments that require the body to perform them.

All along the way in natural environments took me from being an eager adventurer to a skilled guide, looking forward for safety at my job.

Adventure sports are to me the greatest happiness expressions in the world, yet, the curiosity and desire to move forward, improving myself have shown to me that there is always something more to do, this to be the reason I reached to Mendoza, cradle of Argentinean mountaineering. Here I found the chance to make this sport, my life style, studying and training constantly in “First Aids”, “Leadership”, “Logistics and Management”. I professionally formed myself at EPGAMT.

As Superior Technician in Mountain Activities, specialized in Trekking guiding, I am trained to develop myself in the wilderness, self sufficiently, working with groups, organizations or any entity who offers mountain activities.

I constantly find myself improving my skills in planning, group leading, traverses, exploration, expeditions and ascensions through the whole Argentinean territory and neighbor countries.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
