Descripción del Tour

The adventure kicks off with a departure from your hotel, heading towards the Martial Glacier ski slope. The main goal of this trekking experience is to immerse yourself in the heart of the Andes Mountains, offering a strategic vantage point to admire the city of Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel, and the neighboring Navarino and Hoste Islands in Chile.

We start the trekking by ascending the main trail of the Martial Ski Center, soaking in the spectacular landscape until we arrive at the viewpoint located at the base of this iconic glacier.

As the vegetation thins, we enter what is termed the “mountain environment”. Here, the incline becomes more apparent as we make our way to the panoramic point of the Martial Glacier.

We pause to take in an absolutely unparalleled view: The Andes, Ushuaia, and the sea! It is truly a fabulous experience.

It's essential to note that you will not reach the summit of the Glacier itself, but rather you will trek towards it, enjoying breathtaking views of the entire area.

The tour concludes with each passenger being returned to their selected hotels.
