Itinerary description
Trail from the apart hotel Kau Sie Aike to Laguna de los Tres and back.
It was done in a very windy day and this made the last ascent to the lake very difficult.
Despite of that, it was possible to complete it with my family, including a 9 years old boy. You just need to do it in a slow pace. This is possible as the days are quite long during the Patagonian Summer and at 22:30 you still have light enough to follow a trail without a torch. Just take the food necessary to stay outdoors the whole day.
