We take a slightly rugged track from the lodge to the Azul lagoon.

We walk to the Los Glaciares National Park through a trail surrounded by forests with views to the area’s glaciers.

We begin this exploration hiking up the Loma del Diablo ridge, which will give us sweeping views of both the Diablo River valley as well as the Las Vueltas River valley. We will reach a high-altitude ecosystem with a dwarf forest, rocks and sandy banks, where we can register the magnitude of the environment we are in.
