You can trek about 5 hours from Tambo in Colonia Suiza upwards. Or you can go to Cerro Catedral, take the chairlift, walk for around 2.5 hours to Cancha de Fútbol, down 1 hour to the forest in Rucaco Valley. After a rest, a 30 min walk will take you to the end of the valley, and up you go to Brecha Negra (1 hour ). From there, downwards to Refugio Jakob (1 hour). A beautiful view, a brand new Refugio very recently built, with state of the art electric generator running of cascade water powering up heating, LED lighting, and stove, but still having a wood stove and closed chimney. Rooms for 2, 4, or 32. Just make sure to book in advance, specially from Christmas to mid Feb which is high season. You can reserve and pay in advance by transfer in local money. Paypal was about to be deployed just a week ago. Claudio takes care of the place since the late 70´s. His daughter Bianca is covering him when not around. No cell phone signal, but VHF radio available for emergency use only. Spend two nights here, so you can spend a full day at Laguna de Los Témpanos and Paso Schweitzer. Next step can be down to Tambo, or down through Casalata to Mascardi lake. Or to Refugio Laguna Negra (with guide only). Don´t miss it. Been there more than 10 times, and planning to go again soon.

I did a two day hike. Started the hike in pampa Linda. The rood to the starting point is only open in the morning, to go to pampa Linda in the afternoon you can only leave this rood. Narrow rood. In the bezinning the hike is easy. After a few km you started climing. It is 15 km to refugio Roca were you can stay for the night. Naar the refugio you can walk to the waterfalls. They are nice. Large refugio. They serve dinner and you can buy a Packed lunch. If you continue thuis hike you will decent rapidly. You will hear the whole time ICE Breaking from the glacier. Really cool. I think you will see 3/4 glaciers, i think it has in Total 8 glaciers but you cannot see them all. After 3/4 km you walk in the woods. Kind of hard lost of trees on the Path. Not an easy hike. I think most of the people need 5 a 6 hours for the 12 km. Really muddy. The last 2 km are easy. Around 4 you have to take a boot then a bus for 3=km and then an other boot and you will arrive hear llao llao. This part is really good organized. When you have bought your boot ticket , boot can be late the rest is smootly. They take care of your backpack in the harbor of llao llao you get it back. Take a warm jacket with you can be a bit cold on board.

Went paragliding with Ernesto. Such an amazing experience to fly above the mountains and lakes - a mixture of adrenaline and serenity with amazing views for miles!! Was nervous at first (despite having previously done a few sky dives and paragliding), but Erenesto put me at ease and I felt completely in safe hands the entire time. Really enjoyed the ascents as well as some of the turns. Most of all enjoyed the relaxed feeling for flying above the condors looking at at amazing lake and mountain views for 35 minutes.
