Description

Laguna Esmeralda is a beautiful lake located less than 20km from Ushuaia and a real attraction for hikers seeking a stunning water vista. Deep valleys eroded by glaciers thousands of years ago set the scene for this trip and you won’t be disappointed!

Surrounded by mountains Bonete and Toribio the views are endlessly amazing at Esmeralda. We will venture through forest and bog land typical of this area before we reach the lake.

You will be instantly seduced by the colour of the water and how it reflects the beauty of the surroundings on its surface. You will very likely observe the local beavers busy in the dams and see how they interact with the ecosystem.

This trip is of low difficulty requiring about 5 hours of hiking that will cover about 9.4km and 160m of ascension. I will be ready with my camera to take your photo and seal your memories of this spectacular location.

If your keen to see this gem of Ushuaia in person then don’t hesitate to sign up and I’ll lead you on this fantastic day trip in the wilds of Patagonia!

Alternatively consider this 1-day hike in the amazing Tierra del Fuego National Park for unforgettable landscapes and endless memories. For a shorter day out check out this half-day trip to the breath taking glacier Martial in Tierra del Fuego.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
