About this activity

We pick you up at your hotel and take you to the starting point of the trail.

We begin our activity and after 2 hours of trekking we will arrive at the Esmeralda Lagoon. We will continue along the right bank to begin to ascend to the Ojo del Albino glacier.

An hour later, we will be traveling through high mountain terrain where a lot of concentration is required.

At 7 km, we will stop to enjoy a delicious lunch in the mountains and a short rest.

We will continue to the Balcones del Ojo del Albino where we will have an incredible view of the Esmeralda lagoon and its entire high valley.

After 10 km of travel and reaching a height of 1200m, we will climb a wall to reach the impressive Ojo del Albino Glacier.

When the physical conditions of the passenger and the meteorological conditions of the place are optimal, we will ascend and walk on the ice.

Around 3:00 p.m. we will start the return along the same path.
