Itinerary description

Laguna Polo is a short but very nice hike.
It's unknown to the most part of tourists, and usually you will have the laguna only for you. The path starts 7.5km from El Chalten, on the road for Lago del Desierto in a straight part with name on the map "La Pista". The Laguna has not protection from the wind, and it's not a fantastic choice in a day with high wind.
At your arrive will wait a golden sand and a blue lake.

Il percorso alla Laguna Polo e breve ma molto bello.
E' sconosciuto alla maggior parte dei turisti, e di solito si avra' la laguna a completa disposizione. Il percorso inizia a circa 7.5km da El Chalten, sulla strada che porta al Lago del Desierto, in un lungo rettilineo che sulle mappe e' chiamato "La Pista". La laguna non ha una protezione dal vento e quindi in caso di una giornata molto ventosa non e' proprio la scelta migliore. All'arrivo si trovera' la laguna blu con un'inaspettata sabbia dorata
