Highlights
- Enjoy the stunning scenery on and around Cerro del Medio.
- Get panoramic views out over Ushuaia and the rest of Tierra del Fuego.
- Hike through a native Fueguino forest en route to the top.
Description
Sitting just north of the city of Ushuaia, Cerro del Medio rises up to about 800 meters (2,624 feet) above sea level.
From its exposed summit, hikers can enjoy panoramic views out over Tierra del Fuego. Both the city and the Beagle Channel are easily seen as well as the rest of this easternmost tip of the Andes Mountains.
Our adventure to the summit begins at 9 am, after I pick you up from your accommodation and we drive to the trailhead at the north of the city, arriving by 9:45.
We begin the hike by heading through a Fueguino forest, steadily increasing in elevation until we break out above the trees and begin getting our first views out over the surrounding landscape.
By 1:00 pm, we will arrive at the Laguna Margot and just half an hour later, we will reach the summit.
Be sure to bring proper hiking boots for this 10.1-kilometer (6.2 miles) roundtrip hike, as the trail gets quite muddy underfoot and there is oftentimes snow at the summit.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, exciting and scenic 1-day hiking trip from Ushuaia to the summit of Cerro del Medio!

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.
