Overview

Albino Eye Glacier Trekking

The adventure has a total distance of 19 km where we cross the Tierra Mayor valley (one of the largest wetlands), we cross the fantastic nothofagus forest, we visit the Esmeralda lagoon and also some beavers.

Depending on the season of the year we will find different scenarios.

Good hike. We where the only people going to the glacier which resulted in a peaceful place when we arrived at the glacier. Take some warm clothes because it is windy.

Una gran experiencia. Los paisajes que se tienen durante todo el trekking son impresionantes. Emi (guía) hace un trabajo muy bueno, conoce a detalle la zona y nos llevó a buen ritmo. La recomiendo un montón. Importante, tomar en cuenta que este trekking es exigente físicamente.

Quiero compartir mi experiencia con "54 trek-expediciones" y especialmente su guía Joaco, quien nos llevó en una emocionante excursión full day hasta el Ojo del Albino, pasando por la hermosa laguna Esmeralda congelada. Joaco fue un guía excepcional, quien se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos...

Es una experiencia magnífica, las vistas, el camino, la experiencia es increíble. El camino se vuelve muy exigente después que se pasa la laguna, hay trayectos dónde la nieve llega hasta las rodillas, es recomendable tener un buen estado físico para realizar la excursión, eso sí lo vale y mucho.
