Description

This trek to Vinciguerra glacier and Tempanos lagoon is a perfect option for those who enjoy longer treks with the reward of reaching a big glacier surrounded by amazing mountains.

The stunning Vinciguerra Glacier offers one of the most famous trails as well as the magic Tempanos lagoon. Among the highlights of this region you will find peatlands, melt-water rivers, sub-antarctic woods and the typical Fuegian mountains.

After crossing the dense forest, we will finally reach Tempanos Lagoon. Once in there, we will enjoy a nice hot drink in order to recover energies. Finally, it’s time to hike back to the starting point.

The round trip will take about 7 walking hours. Therefore, I recommend this trek to intermediate hikers. That means you will need a good physical shape. Furthermore, take into account that the total altitude change will be 663 meters and the distance walked, 12 kilometers.

Finally, I want to tell you this trek is available during all the year! In fact, if you want to come during winter time we’ll use snowshoes during the hike. It will be really fun!!

So, what are you waiting to contact me and book your place? It will be a nice experience to the Vinciguerra Glacier in Tierra del Fuego… the end of the world!

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide, GEM-AAGM Ski Guide, UIMLA, AIARE level 2 from Argentina.

I was born and live in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world! I've been skiing since I was 2 years old, and competed as a ski athlete in a Nordic ski and Biathlon world ski championships, world cups and in the winter Olimpic Games Torino 2006

In 2007 I retired from professional competitions to focus on my guiding career. I trained on rock, ice and mixed climbing skills as well as guiding techniques and became a mountain guide in 2011 at the Argentinean Mountaineering Guides Association (AAGM). In 2017 I completed the guiding courses to become also a certified Ski Mountain Guide GEM-AAGM.

I've done a large number of technical climbs at the Darwin Range and Patagonia while many of those are new lines

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.
