    From the store to our first stop we have approximately 30 minutes, a stop to give some explanations and photographs at the "Jilarata" viewpoint.

    After 30 minutes of travel we arrived at the Charquini Base Camp, where we began an exciting walk through a paradise for nature lovers, and after walking for an hour or an hour and a half we arrived at the Charquini lagoon.

    You've earned this break! Relax for about an hour by the lagoon, take Instagram-worthy photos, or just breathe in the fresh air.

    Then we will walk back to base camp for approximately 40 minutes descending, and each step will reflect the satisfactory culmination of an adventure well lived
