Itinerary description
Discover the biodiversity of the Angostura Sector in the climb to Los Pumas Lagoon.
The path up to the Los Pumas Lagoon begins alongside the Carretera Austral, where there is a small parking area across from the Conaf campsites. The campsites offer 4 roofed tent sites with fire pits, drinking water and bathrooms with cold water showers. This area is one of the only documented habitatsfor the Darwin’s frog, an endangered species, barely 3 cm in length, which sings during the day and loves sunbathing.
