Itinerary description

Starting at the road near the river Biobio, this is a long walk (23K) to Laguna Canicura then Laguna Agua Blanca and back down to the starting point.

The first part is en easy 10K walk up to Laguna Canicura (980m) and takes about 2.5 hours. Then you climb up to 1550m and follow the trail all the way to 1800m. This second part is difficult as there is no trail at all: you must find and guess your way with some difficult part to cross.

From the top, the way down to Laguna Aguas Blanca (1550m) is not marked either. After crossing some bushes you then walk on massive stones and just try to find your own way.

After reaching Laguna Aguas Blanca you make your way back to the starting point with a very long and steep 6K downhill walk on a good path.
