We will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the starting point of the trail, where the adventure begins. After about two hours of trekking, we will reach the beautiful Esmeralda Lagoon, a perfect spot to catch your breath and admire the surrounding landscape. From there, we will continue along the right bank, beginning our ascent toward the Ojo del Albino glacier. The path requires concentration, as we navigate through high mountain terrain that will test your endurance and focus.
After an hour of climbing, we will reach a scenic stop at the 7 km mark, where you can enjoy a well-deserved lunch in the mountains and take a brief rest. Refreshed, we will continue our trek towards the Balcones del Ojo del Albino, a viewpoint that offers an incredible panorama of the Esmeralda Lagoon and the expansive high valley below.

If the physical condition of the group and the weather conditions are favorable, we will ascend onto the glacier and walk on its pristine ice, making this an unforgettable high-mountain experience.
