The route connects Colonia Suiza with the Refuge Laguna Negra, then we pas to the valley where the "Lluvu" (or Cab) lagoon is located. The next section is towards the "Crettón" Lagoon, and finally, this lagoon is connected to the Ilón Lagoon (or Meat Lagoon). The last stage is from here descending to Pampa Linda.
Once we arrive in Pampa Linda, you can end there, or add another traverse: Paso de Las Nubes to Puerto Frías returning to Bariloche by catamaran.
It is a traverse through rugged places (some demanding), connects the area of Mount "Tronador" with the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, through mountain ridges at 2,000 meters. There are no huts or services (only at the beginning and at the end), so we must have experience in trekking and camp and good physical condition.
