Itinerary and highlights

Beyond the beautiful scenery of the El Yeso Reservoir, in the heart of the Cordillera Park, is Black Lagoon, a place to marvel anyone who seeks to experience new landscapes uniquely.
After our transfer from Santiago, we arrive at Casa Bosque, an iconic restaurant and tourist attraction in the area that charms with its wooden and iron structure, where after an introduction talk, we will begin a vehicle journey of about an hour to our starting point of the trail, visit the El Yeso Reservoir, where the guide will share his story, and advance to the mountain range, with viewpoints to the reservoir and glaciers.
Laguna Negra, at over 2,600 meters, is a hidden gem and key source of water for Santiago. Here we will enjoy a gourmet high mountain experience as we learn about its history and mysteries, and then begin the return.
