Description

This demanding and beautiful trek in the Fuegian Andes will take you to discover off-the-beaten-path forests, glaciers, and lakes over the course of 2 days.

We will set off from Ushuaia and walk in all kinds of terrains: wetland, grassland, peat bog, forest, scree, and mountains. This trek is an unconventional tour, completely off of the regular trails, that will allow you to experience the vibrant nature of Tierra del Fuego. The gorgeous blue Kami lagoon will be one of the highlights of this trek, as will the stunning Beban Glacier. You can find a detailed itinerary below.

Keep in mind that you will need an excellent fitness level to join this adventure as we will be trekking for up to 8 hours days with more than 800 meters of altitude gain. At times, you will need to use your hands and also be ready for some rich, dark mud and rainy or very cold weather. It will be well worth it!

Itinerary

Day 1: Kami lagoon

We will set off from Ushuaia and drive to the trailhead on road national 3 ( 20 minutes).

Then, we will start trekking in the forest and valleys following a trail to quickly steer away from the trail. Out of treeline, we will begin to go up. The hike will be more and more challenging as we leave the vegetation limit until we finish in a couloir going down to a first lake.

After, we will get to Kami lake, and discover a peatland valley, and a glacier. We will camp a few meters from the lake and enjoy the solitude of this amazing landscape.

Day 2: Beban Glacier

We will set off early in the morning sourrounding the lake to reach a col and go down another steep couloir.

At the end of it, we will be in front of Beban Glacier. We will continue along a river crossing beaver dams to end back in the forest.
