Ascent through native forest and dense vegetation
The trail climbs steeply through lenga and coihue trees and Fuegian flora. The physical challenge is part of the experience—the effort becomes part of the landscape.
The 3 Lagoons Viewpoint
Three glacial lakes appear from above like jewels in the forest. Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel are seen in their entirety from here—a panoramic view that exists only at this point.
Lunch at the base of the glacier
The highlight of the trek is lunch at the base of Martial Glacier, surrounded by rock, ice, and silence. The Beagle Channel shimmers below as you eat. The descent offers the same view, but in reverse.
