The tour included the equipment we needed (helmet, poles and crampons) and the tour company gave me the details of a really good gear hire place to get hiking boots from. I definitely packed too much clothing as we had nice weather, but better that than being cold. Highly recommend this trip”

“Juan was our all star tour guide!! Juan was knowledgeable, humorous, responsible and a perfect guide! Communication was excellent and the company was able to reschedule our trip to the next day due to unprecedented delays from travels to Ushuaia. Pick up from our hotel was punctual. Philip, our driver was also excellent!! We had a great time hiking and later canoeing with the group on a rainless day. Lunch was a delicious 3 course meal in a dome camp by the water. Juan pointed out excellent details, shared knowledge and history about the different plants, islands, channels in Tierra del Fuego. We enjoyed the entire tour. 10/10 would recommend.”

8.Tierra del Fuego Trekking and Canoeing

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 75 reviews · 8 hours · from $158

Hike Tierra del Fuego National Park, eat lunch in a geodesic dome, and paddle inflatable canoes to Lapataia Bay.

“La parte con la canoa é stata la più divertente (e faticosa), le guide sono state bravissime, ci hanno fornito tutte le informazioni e le indicazioni. Pranzo al DOME molto caratteristico, ovviamente spartano come era facile immaginare. Il trekking é la parte meno riuscita: organizzazione ottima ma forse si potevano scegliere sentieri più panoramici.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 67 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $108

Hike to Ushuaia’s Laguna Esmeralda through forests, peat bogs, and beaver dams with a guide, picnic, hot drink, and hotel transfers.

“We were given trekking poles (1 or 2 depending on your preference) which I found helpful to steady yourself on the hike. It starts easy and flat, then you're climbing up through the tree line and it was rather steep in places but you can take your time and stop to rest. It's flat again crossing the peat bog (on wooden platforms) but then there is a very steep part just before reaching the lagoon. Your guide will assist you if needed in certain challenging spots and lend you a hand. The lagoon is beautiful and you spend up to an hour sitting and eating a sandwich they've given you…”
