Los Huemules Reserve - Loma del Diablo: We started the tour in a vehicle that takes us to the starting point of our trekking located just 20km from the town in the Los Huemules nature reserve. In the reserve we have multiple hiking options to choose from. After a short visit to the Visitor Center to register, we began our walk to Loma del Diablo (1790 meters) to make an intense ascent of 1200 meters of slope to the summit or we can choose to reach the viewpoint located above the vegetation line at 1050 meters high. If we choose a less intense trekking or on days of bad weather, we can explore the Blue and Green lagoons connecting with the valley that leads to the Diablo Lagoon and thus avoid climbing. On the way back we will spend the night in a beautiful Eco Lodge in cabins with private bathrooms and a hot tub to relax on the shores of the Condor Lagoon.
