Included in the TourAscent through forest and moraine
The trail to Cerro Pelado climbs through native Fuegian forest before opening onto the glacial moraine. The vegetation gradually disappears and the landscape becomes more austere—this transition is part of the journey.
The most complete natural viewpoint in Ushuaia
From the summit, you can simultaneously see Mount Olivia, the Five Brothers, the Carbajal Valley, and the Beagle Channel. It is the only accessible point from which you can see Ushuaia in its entirety.
Views of the Murray Pass and the Fuegian mountain range
Murray Pass and the Andorra Valley appear on the opposite side of the city. The 360° panoramic view makes Cerro Pelado the trek with the best effort-to-visual-reward ratio in the entire region.
