What you can expect

  • Embark on an unforgettable trekking adventure to the Vinciguerra Glacier, a natural wonder in Tierra del Fuego. This full-day hike takes you through diverse landscapes, including wetlands, native Andean Patagonian forests, and rugged mountain terrain. Learn about its constant retreat due to climate change.

    Your journey begins in the Andorra Valley, where you'll walk through peat bogs and along the river. These wetlands are internationally protected RAMSAR sites, offering a unique opportunity to interpret the environment and its significance. As you enter the native forest, the ascent begins with alternating steep slopes and flat sections. Depending on the weather, the trail may be muddy, snowy, or dry. Along the way, you'll uncover the history of the loggers who once exploited this region's resources.

    After a 2.5-hour climb, you’ll emerge from the forest and tackle the final steep slope leading to the Laguna de los Témpanos. Surrounded by snowy peaks and the glacier, this mountain setting offers awe-inspiring views. Here, you'll enjoy a gourmet lunch, engaging conversations, and spectacular scenery before retracing your steps back to the starting point.

    This moderate-level trek covers 14 km over 8 hours, with an elevation gain of 650 metres. While speed isn’t essential, maintaining a steady pace is crucial for completing the hike. The experience is physically demanding but deeply rewarding, offering a chance to connect with nature and explore a glacier on the verge of extinction.
