Along the way, keep an eye out for native flora and fauna, including foxes and soaring Andean condors.

As the trail climbs, the reward is well worth the effort: the vivid turquoise waters of the hidden lagoon come into view, nestled among rocky peaks. This breathtaking spot offers a chance to connect with nature, soak in the tranquility, and marvel at the vibrant colors of Tierra del Fuego. Whether you’re capturing the perfect photo or simply taking it all in, this trek promises a memorable experience in one of Patagonia’s most beautiful and remote corners.

This trek to Turquoise Lagoon and Mount Carbajal takes you deep into one of Tierra del Fuego’s most stunning and untouched regions. The adventure begins at our office on Roca 136, followed by a short transfer to the Tierra Mayor Valley. From there, we embark on a demanding hike toward the brilliant turquoise waters of a glacial lagoon tucked into the Sierra Sorondo. We’ll pause here to relax and take in the peaceful beauty of this hidden gem.

The initial stretch of the trail involves a steep ascent through ancient subantarctic Fuegian forest. After 45 to 60 minutes of steady climbing, we emerge above the treeline to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. As we continue along the ridge, the vibrant lagoon comes into view. Our final destination is the summit of Mount Carbajal, where sweeping vistas reveal dramatic glacial landscapes shaped during the last Ice Age. From here, the view extends across the Tierra Mayor and Carbajal valleys and all the way to the Beagle Channel—an awe-inspiring payoff for a truly unforgettable hike.
