What will you do?

From the surroundings of Ushuaia, we venture along a trail that will take us to discover the imposing beauty of the Vinciguerra Glacier. In the early stages of the journey, we share part of the path that leads to the charming Laguna del Caminante.

This area, located in the Andorra Valley, is a protected site under the Ramsar Convention, an internationally significant wetland. In this environment, rivers, beaver ponds, peat bogs, and glaciers safeguard vital water sources for the region.

The route includes four notable ascents, which we will easily overcome with the help of our expert guide. Additionally, we are equipped with mountain crampons that will provide excellent support throughout the journey.

As we move away from the vegetation, we can observe the traces of glacial erosion in the surrounding landscape. The presence of impressive rugged peaks, alongside softer ones, is a clear testament to the power of this natural phenomenon.

A final steep climb leads us to our ultimate destination, a reward reserved for those who persist on the path. From here, we enjoy spectacular views of the nearby glaciers and the lagoon, whose vibrant green color captivates our senses.

Our guide, attentive to the surroundings, looks for the perfect spot for our lunch. Still in awe of the landscape’s magnificence, we approach the glacier’s foot, where we can have a direct contact with this impressive mass of ice.

This experience offers us unique perspectives of a truly captivating place. With these memories fresh in our minds, we begin the return journey along the same trail, while in the distance we spot the Beagle Channel and Navarino Island, in Chilean territory.
