Description

Are you planning to visit Ushuaia? Then Ojo del Albino Glacier and Laguna Esmeralda need to be on your itinerary. Follow me for a day-hike and let me show you these stunning places.

We’ll meet in Ushuaia and begin our hike through the Andean Patagonian Forest. On our way to the impressive turquoise lagoon, we’ll enjoy views of Cerro Bonete (1,120 m) and Cerro Pelado (930 m). Once we reach Laguna Esmeralda you’ll understand what all the talk is about: the water is of a breathtaking color and it reflects all its surrounding beauty.

We’ll then follow the Esmeralda River to reach the Ojo del Albino Glacier. With an altitude that varies between 900 and 1,300 meters above sea level, this popular place in Tierra del Fuego belongs to the Sierra Alvear. Once we reach this glacier, we’ll put on our crampons and walk through it! We’ll then get to enjoy an unforgettable picnic with views of the outstanding glacier and lagoon.

This 10-hour hike is a challenging and demanding hike. That is why I recommend participants to be in a good physical shape. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you.

Send your message and let me organize this perfect trip just for you. I can guarantee you’ll love this hike!

Mountain Guide

Mountaineering is part of my life since I was a child. I'm from Ushuaia and now I'm leaving in El Chalten, two of the most beautiful places in Patagonia for hiking, skiing, climbing and feeling the strong and pristine Patagonian nature.

I started guiding in 2014 and it has turned a way of leaving. I have worked in many areas of the Andes Range, from the low and sharp mountains in Ushuaia until the high mountain in the Real Range (Bolivia), and many trekking and mountains in North Patagonia Area (Bariloche) and Central Andes (Mendoza). Now in El Chalten I guide many beautiful trekking in the area. I guide the treks in Los Glaciares National Park under license of Zeta Trek.

I'm also an experimented climber and a certificated climbing monitor FASA (Argentinian Federation of Skiing and Andinism).
And I'm studying Waldorf Pedagogy oriented to physical activity.

Please get in touch with me if you wish to be guided in South Patagonia this summer! or to organize a beautiful adventure in the Andes whenever you feel it's the moment to experiment something new.

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!

Maxine

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.
