Climbing Mount Alvear, Tierra del Fuego

In this 2-days mountaineering program we propose to reach Mt. Alvear, the summit of the third highest mountain in Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego in the Argentinean area. This includes two days and an overnight in the mountain going over the heights of the Fuegian Mountain Range.

Itinerary:

Day 1:

The first day consists of five hours trekking to reach the Base Camp (BC). After setting up the tents we will practice all the necessary (crampons and piolet techniques) for the next day in which we will reach the summit. In this day trip we will walk along Lasifashaj Valley and the hanging Valley of Alvear going through Lengas and Coihues forests. The trekking finishes with a partial climbing of Monte Alvear’s side hill until we reach the BC.

Day 2:

On the second day, very early in the morning, we will set off from the BC to the summit. From the begging of this daytrip we will meet ourselves surrounded by the mountain environment walking through glaciers. On our way back, after having achieved the summit, we will disarm the BC and continue our march to the rout, from where we will return to Ushuaia City.

The views, the landscape and the feelings when transiting Alvear Mount are beyond description. Contact me if you want to live this unforgettable experience!
