Tempanos Lagoon and Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking

A true mountain adventure in the heart of Tierra del Fuego, where the subantarctic forest gives way to high-mountain landscapes. The trek to Laguna de los Témpanos and Vinciguerra Glacier takes us through valleys, peat bogs, and streams, until we reach an environment shaped by ice, rock, and silence. The glacier hanging above the lagoon makes this hike one of the most striking and authentic in the region—ideal for those seeking a real connection with Fuegian nature.
