Laguna de los Tres

Reviewed By andreaa277 - Sydney, Australia

This is an amazing hike , all the terrain leading up to it (we started at Hosteria Pillar ) and of course the lakes at the top of that very steep climb. Then the walk back to town with the gorgeous (Patagonia emblem) as a backdrop. Start early we encountered crowds on the way back down at about 1pm . Keep in mind you will be sharing this walk with people that are hell bent on getting to the top I presume instagramming and hell bent on getting back down again. Still an amazing day - in summer the days are super long so you don't have to rush.

Since going to La Amistad Polo as a complete beginner last year, I’ve become absolutely hooked on polo. I even own a polo pony now as a result of enjoying my lessons with Juan so much! Juan is very detailed orientated and attentive to his student’s needs. I really like that he always offers very clear and detailed explanations of each new technique we practice. Juan also speaks perfect English which is so helpful when it comes to learning the technicalities of riding and polo. Before I knew it, I was able to swing the mallet and hit the ball accurately. I was genuinely surprised that I could hit the ball after just one lesson. What’s great too is that once I started to progress, Juan organized instructional chukkers with a mix of other players of the same level as well as professionals. Very shortly after learning how to swing the mallet, I was able to try out my new skills while learning about the tactics and rules of the game. Juan always has a selection of exceptionally well cared for horses that are carefully matched to your ability. Most importantly, I’ve always felt safe and looked after during my lessons. I can’t recommend Juan and La Amistad Polo enough. Beware though... you’ll probably become completely addicted!

Glacier Martial

A marked trail in the center of town leads intrepid souls on a grueling hike up this glacier, for which they are rewarded with spectacular sweeping views of the southernmost tip of the earth.

Reviewed By F1211SVelizabethd - Los Angeles, United States

I stayed in a hotel well up the road that leads to the Glacier so it was a nice hike from there. Although some people do it, I would not consider it safe to walk up the road from Ushuaia because of the nature of the road and lack of pavement for pedestrians. If you're in central Ushuaia, do get a taxi to a spot close to the Glacier (there's an actual tax rank, so you can get a taxi back.) I am not an experienced mountaineer and it was a glorious and not to difficult hike!

Temaiken is like an open zoo park with acquariums and other attraction centers. The park and vegetation is beautiful, and the way the animals are set is excellent as weel, they are quite free, when possible. Recomended for children all ages as well as teen agers, adults ... everybody.

Cerro Tronador

Reviewed By globaltrotter_carol - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

I did a two day hike. Started the hike in pampa Linda. The rood to the starting point is only open in the morning, to go to pampa Linda in the afternoon you can only leave this rood. Narrow rood. In the bezinning the hike is easy. After a few km you started climing. It is 15 km to refugio Roca were you can stay for the night. Naar the refugio you can walk to the waterfalls. They are nice. Large refugio. They serve dinner and you can buy a Packed lunch. If you continue thuis hike you will decent rapidly. You will hear the whole time ICE Breaking from the glacier. Really cool. I think you will see 3/4 glaciers, i think it has in Total 8 glaciers but you cannot see them all. After 3/4 km you walk in the woods. Kind of hard lost of trees on the Path. Not an easy hike. I think most of the people need 5 a 6 hours for the 12 km. Really muddy. The last 2 km are easy. Around 4 you have to take a boot then a bus for 3=km and then an other boot and you will arrive hear llao llao. This part is really good organized. When you have bought your boot ticket , boot can be late the rest is smootly. They take care of your backpack in the harbor of llao llao you get it back. Take a warm jacket with you can be a bit cold on board.

Playa El Doradillo

Reviewed By valentinagioiosa

Puerto Madryn is a really special place for me. It is a beautiful city where you can go in summer or in winter and you’ll have interesting things to do. In summer you can enjoy the beach and go to see the penguins, the killer whales or the dolphins and in winter you can go to see the whales. My favourite season to go is in winter i love to go to “El Doradillo” beach and just sit there watching the sea and the whales. And also there is a coffee shop called "Quemehuencho" they do the best churros in the world, if anyone goes to Puerto Madryn they should try them, you won't regret!

Circuito Chico

Reviewed By AllenR447 - Depoe Bay, United States

We arrived in town early and picked up our rental car but our hotel wasn't going to be ready for a few hours so went on the Circuito Chico kind of by mistake. Great drive on a beautiful early Spring day. The views of the lakes and surrounding area really lets you know why this area is such a hot tourist stop. Tried stopping at the Llao Llao resort to have a look around but they didn't seem to have parking for "lookers." Probably the best stumbled upon find on this little trip was Restaurant Punto Panorámico which had some of the best food and, by far, the best view of the lake. It is a must stop.
