Beautiful Frozen Lake
Oh my God! The hike was cool and we liked the snowy trek. My friends and I were able to capture nice pictures of the snowy forest, frozen river and Esmeralda Lake. The guide was very knowledgeable of his job. It was a very safe experience. The lake was frozen and covered by powdery fluffy snow.

Lovely Trekking
Trekking 10km (5km going and 5km back) we went in the fall, the soil was with a lot of clay from beginning to end, go with waterproof trekking boots and stick for support. The path is quiet, has some moments with rise and descent, but needs attention due to the clay. The view of the lodge is beautiful. We went with the Company Penguins Expeditions, the guide was great and experienced.

Trekking Laguna Esmeralda
A super recommended experience. The road to the Lagoon is spectacular, to say the least. The Lagoon was frozen and looked beautiful. A great experience

Worth the effort of the walk
A place of unique beauty not only for the lagoon itself, but for the fauna, flora and region. Worth the walk. The level of difficulty is medium and it is recommended to wear shoes and clothing suitable for mountain hiking.

Go with a guide
Our guide was Tobias. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the area. He also took great photos for us. He got us there before all the crowds and new the best spots to fully appreciate the trek and get good pictures. I highly recommend using a guide as it made the experience much richer.
