Itinerary description

So, the nice track that allowed to see the glacier from up close is gone in a mudslide in March 2019. So now the access road has to be walked instead, and the views are from farther away. On mid November, they are still working on repairing the access road so you need to take a detour - Moraine detour - through the rain forest.

Judge yourself from the pictures whether it's still worth doing the hike.
