Easy

Our passengers will enjoy a morning in nature, hiking through this mountain valley, whose unique formations offer a breathtaking landscape.

We depart from the city via National Route 3 until we reach the starting point, where we prepare to continue on foot. The approximate duration from the start of the hike to the lagoon is 2 hours, during which we will cross the subantarctic forest, peat valleys, and rivers with beaver dams. Once we reach the lagoon, we will take some time to appreciate its beauty, its unique color, and discover the surroundings that give this place its special charm. There, we will stop to replenish our energy with a packed lunch and a drink before beginning the return journey along the same trail.
