Bordering a stream we will enter a gigantic lenga forest with trees that reach up to 30 meters. high and canaverals of Colihues and we will go deeper and deeper into a canyon that offers us a not very demanding but constant ascent.
As we gain height the vegetation It becomes increasingly stunted and will allow us to have a better view of the entire Lacar Basin, until it turns into bushes.
We will cross a large number of natural rock viewpoints and we will reach the pre-summit, where we will begin to see a ground that will be increasingly reddish until we reach the border.
