fabulous day trip to the glacier!Our guide Leo was fantastic, the trip was really smooth and lunch was great. 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

Full description

For security reasons, mountain clothing is necessary for this activity. In case you do not have the appropriate clothing you will have the option to rent.

Just 20 minutes from city centre is the start of the trail to the Vinciguerra Glacier. To carry out this activity you must have trekking boots, a waterproof jacket and enough shelter for the climate of Tierra del Fuego. You will also need a backpack, water bottle, gloves, sunscreen and sunglasses.

You will be given canes, crampons if necessary and your lunch before starting the activity.

From there, 14 km of wild trails are covered, ascending above the vegetation limit following a meltwater river and passing through the Los Tempanos lagoon to finally reach the Vinciguerra Glacier.

The guide that will accompany you all the way will decide, depending on the weather and the group, the stops to be made.

You return along the same path to the end of the trail where the bus awaits you to take you to your hotel.

Very friendly guide and driver. Our guide was prepared for anything, we loved the excursion, the hike wasn’t too hard, we already did several treks in El Chitan, El Chalafate, Torres Del Pine where we got to see glaciers but this was the first time we were able to walk up and touch the glacier. The best part of the hike was when our guide let us was slide down the snowy hill.
