About this activity

An alluring hike up the river to the Morales Lagoon with breathtaking views of the photogenic south face of Mount El Morado and the glaciers that rest over the water shaped sedimentary rocks.

The first section is the steepest of the route, nevertheless quite friendly. After about an hour hike up we will stop in the sector of "Panimávidas Mineral Waters", where we can admire the stunning scenery that provides the nearby mountains and unique groundwater outcrops resting on stained bodies that tell us about the presence of mineral concentrations such as iron. Then, we continue walking by the now almost flat trail until we get to Morales Lagoon, propitious place to rest and recharge energies with a delicious lunch while we contemplate the great Andean scene.

This excursion can be made all year round, even during snowy winters with the help of snowshoes, or in spring and summer, when the valley reflourishes.
