At the beginning of the third kilometer, we find the fork that leads us to the Laguna Capri. In this final stretch, the trail reveals spectacular views of the mountains. From its banks, you can enjoy an unforgettable view of the Chaltén or Fitz Roy hill, a landscape that invites you to stop and contemplate one of the most emblematic postcards. Then, to finish we will enjoy an outdoor picnic.

During approximately 2 hours, we will cross lush forests, peat valleys, crystalline rivers and majestic mountains. Following the course of the Esmeralda River, we will approach our destination. The lagoon gets its name from the unique color it acquires thanks to the sediments of the Ojo del Albino Glacier, this being the best time of the year to appreciate it in all its splendor. While enjoying this breathtaking scenery, we will recharge our batteries with a delicious box lunch before returning along the same trail, allowing us to once again appreciate the beauty of the environment and discover new angles to capture photographs.

We leave the hotel heading north through the upper part of the city towards the Andorra Valley, where the trail that will take us to the Vinciguerra Glacier begins. Along the way we will enjoy a variety of landscapes such as peat bogs, lush forests of lenga trees and end in the high altitude valley of the Milk River, which is located in the vicinity of the glacier. Here you can take advantage of the wonderful views of the area, and if the weather is good we will take a short break. We continue along the side of the river and finally reach the Laguna de los Témpanos. Here we will continue bordering the lagoon until we reach the imposing Vinciguerra Glacier.
