🇦🇷 Ushuaia Day 16 | Emerald Lagoon Hike: A Post-Antarctic Adventure!

🚗 Getting There Uber/Taxi: ~$17 each way (search Laguna Esmeralda). Bus: $9 round-trip (check schedules!). 📶 Spotty signal en route, but trail has full coverage. 🥾 Trail Details 📍 Distance: 9km round-trip (to lake only). ⏱️ Time: 3hrs (*even with a 70-year-old!*). 🧗 Terrain: Flat forest paths 🌲 One 100m climb (easy for Asians, hard for panting foreigners 😆). Final 1km = rocky scramble (💦 muddy after rain—I wore Crocs! 🩴 Don’t be like me.). ❄️ Weather Whiplash November chaos: Sun ☀️ → hail 🌨️ → wind 💨 (lake gusts nearly blew us over!). Dress: Layers! (I wore quick-dry + puffer + shell). 💡 Pro Tips ✔️ Skip the bus if >3 people—Uber’s cheaper! ✔️ No guide needed: Follow the obvious path + other hikers. ⚠️ Avoid post-rain days: Trails turn into slip-n-slides! #HikeTheWorld #Patagonia #Ushuaia #GlacierLagoon #TravelFails 🏔️✨
