    The climb is short but intense. When you get up to enjoy a true paradise! It is beautiful. The effort of the steep ascent is worthwhile. Well find agencies that allow you to make navigation on the desert lake and to coordinate with the walk to the huemul, since some are not as foreseen and still there is a waste not to make it.

    We were heading to Laguna del Desierto and recommended us this trekking. Half effort and a spectacular view as reward (the average effort for me is high)
