Descripción del Tour:
The journey commences from your hotel, heading to the base of the Martial Glacier ski slope. This trekking adventure aims to immerse you in the heart of the Andes Mountains, offering a strategic viewpoint to admire the city of Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel, and the nearby 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 reach the viewpoint at the base of this renowned glacier.
As vegetation becomes sparse, we enter what is known as the “mountain environment”. Here, the incline will gradually become more pronounced as we approach the panoramic vantage point of the Martial Glacier.
We pause to relish an absolutely unparalleled view: The Andes, Ushuaia, and the sea! It is a truly magnificent experience.
It’s important to mention that you will not reach the summit of the Glacier itself, but will walk towards it, gaining fabulous views of the entire area.
The tour concludes with each guest being returned to their selected hotels.
