For security reasons, mountain clothing is necessary for this activity. In case you do not have the appropriate clothing you will have the option to rent. Just 20 minutes from city centre is the start of the trail to the Vinciguerra Glacier. To carry out this activity you must have trekking boots, a waterproof jacket and enough shelter for the climate of Tierra del Fuego. You will also need a backpack, water bottle, gloves, sunscreen and sunglasses. You will be given canes, crampons if necessary and your lunch before starting the activity. From there, 14 km of wild trails are covered, ascending above the vegetation limit following a meltwater river and passing through the Los Tempanos lagoon to finally reach the Vinciguerra Glacier. The guide that will accompany you all the way will decide, depending on the weather and the group, the stops to be made. You return along the same path to the end of the trail where the bus awaits you to take you to your hotel. Important: If you do not have the required clothing at the start time of the activity, you will lose your excursion without the right to a refund.
