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.

The hike to the summit gets very steep in the last km, and the trail is very slippery because of the mud/gravel mixture. Go there with good hiking shoes and good physical condition. The view is breathtaking, and people with vertigo could feel uncomfortable given the cliffs and very steep sections (DO NOT FORGET to register at the refugio before climbing. DO NOT FORGET to go and tell the refugio manager when you are back from the summit, otherwise he will have to go up there to look for you...). The refugio is a wonderful place to get some excellent home-made food and beer. You can also sleep in a dorm for a reasonable price (around 300 pesos a night). The guy (Rodolpho if I remember well) who manages the refugio is very nice and you can have a chat with him about life in the mountains. He knows it all about the place and will be happy to inform you. The place has a great athmosphere, so do not miss the opportunity to stop there. Access: if you have a car, you can drive up to the "plataforma" 1 km under the Bosque Tallado. Be warned that the road to get there is in terrible condition and very steep. We have seen some guys with Renault Clio and similar 2WD drive up there, but we felt way safer in our 4WD. Have a wonderful hike!

wonderful landscape with black Icebergs that have been working hard in changing the environment of Andes mountains. Colour of the icebergs and the lake of this mountain during the sunlight gives a uniqueness to this wonder of Nature. Walking from pampa Linda gives you more time to enjoy the snow capped mountains and will definitely be a memory of once in a lifetime chance.

Take the number 55 bus to the car park (cost 80 pesos on a Sube card). Start hiking / running from there. First 6k is easy along a well marked path through forest. Then it gets a bit more difficult. The last 1k is over boulders and rocks. View at the top is amazing. Lots of rock climbers and sun worshippers. The day we went there was no wind and it was hot. Very pleasant spot for a picnic. It took us 2 hours up and 1.5 hours down (running). A very pleasant trail run. Total distance 19k.

We really enjoyed taking the gondola up to the top of the mountain- it is further than it looks from below! The views from the top are spectacular and there are hiking trails for those who want to explore further, which we did and enjoyed. But the best thing is the 360 degree revolving restaurant that very slowly revolves as you sit at your table so that you can enjoy the views in all directions. We've never seen anything like that! We recommend getting there by 9:30 and you'll be able to walk right in with no lines and the wind is calmer in the morning.
