We started the hike in the Tierra Mayor Valley, and through native forests and peatlands we reached the famous Emerald Lagoon. Here first stop after a 1 tour, where we will brake a few minutes to contemplate such beautiful scenery. After the lagoon the climb begins, we move away from the forest area and start climbing over stone terrain, this is the most demanding part as the climb is maintained for about 3 hours. Continuing along the trail and passing through unusual orange walls, we reach a natural balcony where you can see Laguna Esmeralda below and in the distance. From this point remains the last climb. Depending on the time of year here we will have a few steps where we will use our hands, wear a helmet and the right equipment. The guide will always be attentive accompanying the group. We're here! After 41⁄2 hours of constant and intense pace, we are surprised by the front wall of the glacier with its 20 meters of wall, its green melting lagoon and its unique environment. In this trekking, the reward of effort is assured. In winter the lagoon freezes and is covered in snow, so you can walk to the ice wall.

The experience and guide Joaco was extraordinary. Although the journey to the Ojo del Albino Glacier is demanding, the professionalism, clarity and security provided by Joaco made the adventure unforgettable. The lunch was excellent and the group, very good vibes, added a lot to the day. Overall, an impeccable organization and highly recommended.

Very good walk. Hard track in the snow, but the guide Joaquim was very well prepared helping with materials and showing the best path. I want it again in the summer.

Beautiful experience!! It is a demanding but super cute trek .. we highlight the guide Gian (and Kona) who was very attentive to the whole group and thanks to him we arrived barbaric to the glacier. The foods they offer are varied, I am vegetarian and I ate very rich, there are also vegan and TACC-free options. They also offer the necessary equipment if you didn’t carry, very important to be able to handle well along the way. From wpp contact to direct contact, we recommend them 100%:)

We went with Nacho, an excellent guide! An unforgettable experience, it was the perfect day, we started early, it was not very cold, there were no people, everything was peace. Super recommend. And the little bloody ones, the best in all of Ushuaia.
