Additional Information

For your own safety, it’s crucial to be appropriately dressed for this mountain activity. If you don’t own suitable attire, there’s the option to rent.

The starting point for this trek is conveniently located just 15 minutes away from the city. The journey begins at the edge of a peat bog, from where numerous wild trails branch off, each one increasing in difficulty.

The trail leads you across a river, further into the heart of the Fuegian forest. As you journey towards the tree line, you’ll be accompanied by lengas and guindos, progressing along a challenging 600-meter elevation climb.

The final part of the trail is on high-mountain terrain and involves a strenuous incline which ends upon reaching the Tempanos lagoon. Provided the weather is on our side and the group of hikers is in good physical shape, our trail will continue around the lagoon and up close to the Vinciguerra glacier, where we can observe its unique crevices and moulins.

Finally, we’ll retrace our steps along the same trail back towards the transfer vehicle that will return you to your hotel.

Trekking Glaciar - Trekking is amazing! Our guide, Lara, was very attentive from the beginning to the end of the trail. The snack provided by the agency was also delicious. Regarding the trekking, the climbs are challenging, but the landscapes are stunning. It was one of the most beautiful places I've had the opportunity to visit. I want to express my gratitude for having had this incredible experience. It's wonderful to know that we belong to such a beautiful universe!

Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking - We trekked to the Vinciguerra Glacier at the beginning of June and I recommend going with a guide. Manuel and Carlos were very attentive and gave us valuable tips along the way on when to put on more clothes to withstand the cold, for example, and where we could take them off. Arpon Trekking included a very tasty snack, a hot drink on the glacier (it alone would have paid for the trip lol), gloves, poles, crampons and health insurance, which I thought was great. I recommend!

Vinciguerra - A while ago I returned from doing Vinciguerra Glacier with Arpon Trekking. The experience I had has no name, the excitement of arriving and seeing the ice caves is something unmatched. The guides are geniuses. Everything is highly recommended from the moment you find out about the excursion to the moment you experience it. 10/10.

Vinciguerra Trekking - The trail to Vinciguerra is a little demanding at times, but the beauty of the place, the charm of the glacier and the feeling of intimate contact with nature make every inch worth it. The Arpon guide, Léo, was very careful, set a good pace and brought safety and lightness to the walk. A nice lunch and hot drink make all the difference when hiking for many hours and the trail equipment also helps a lot, all provided by Arpon.
