We'll pick you up at your hotel in Barreal at 10 am and then set off in a 4x4 jeep to the Laguna Blanca shelter, located approximately 50 miles away.

At the lake, situated at 10,100 ft, we'll embark on a 5-mile trek through the Andes mountains. The journey will include several 15-minute breaks for rest.
