Laguna Esmeralda

About

Surrounded by craggy peaks and rimmed with a lenga forest, Laguna Esmeralda is truly one of Tierra del Fuego’s natural jewels. After a rather muddy trek across a sprawling field of peat moss a stream leads you to the deep mountain valley where the Laguna Esmeralda’s green waters shimmer amidst glacier crusted peaks. The 3-4 hour hike is beautiful in its own right, but with no amenities, be sure you have your own water! Please note: the park entrance fee is not included.
