Getting There

Walking
Start at the Ushuaia city center, specifically at Av. San Martín, the main street. From here, walk towards the waterfront and continue onto Av. Maipú. Follow Av. Maipú until you reach the end of the road, where it becomes a dirt path leading into the forest. Continue walking along this path, keeping an eye on the signs that lead towards the trailhead for Monte Olivia. The hike will start from here.
-
Hiking
Once you reach the Monte Olivia trailhead, begin your hike. The trail is well-marked, but it can be steep and rocky in places. Plan to spend around 1.5 to 2 hours hiking up to the summit. Take your time to enjoy the natural scenery along the way. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks for the hike, as there are no facilities along the trail.

Public Transport (Bus)
If you prefer not to walk the entire way to the trailhead, you can take a local bus from the Ushuaia city center. Look for Bus Line 10, which goes towards the mountain areas. Ask the driver to drop you off at the stop closest to the Monte Olivia trailhead. From there, you will need to walk a short distance to reach the starting point of the hike.
