 +
From CONAF the route ascends abruptly for about 45 minutes. The road entrees the valley, crossing on many occasions an old road that zig-zags. Close to an hour later, once the trail has already remounted the initial moraine, the valley stretches and “Aguas Panimávida” appears, a patch of half-flooded grass with mineral water ponds. From now on the slope decreases and the trail continues to the north, with the imposing south face of “El Morado” as the background. After about two hours from mineral waters, the “Laguna de Morales” is reached (commonly confused with “Laguna del Morado,” for this lagoon see [[Glaciar del Morado]]). It's a nice destination but it is recommendable to continue another hour to the north, approaching the bottom of the glacier “San Francisco” (2.800 meters above sea level.) The trail is a little less clear, the slope increases and it's more likely to find snow on this part if you go during late spring or early summer.
  
[[Image:Valle_glaciar_san_francisco.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Glacier Valley San Francisco]]
+
==Estimated Time==
 +
At a normal pace, this trek should take about 5 hours between CONAF and the viewpoint of the glacier. However, what is meant by "lookout" is not a well-defined point, but rather an area where you can appreciate and photograph the impressive ice caves formed by the glacier.
  
== Best season==  
+
{{Acces Monumento Natural El Morado‎}}
*'' 'Trekking''': The best time for trekking is between October and May, Ideally November and December, however you may not be able to reach the mirador of the glacier due to large amounts of snow hanging arond in October and November.  
+
==Guides==
*'' 'Ski touring''': Between June and late September. Even then this depends on how the winters gone and when the last snowfall was. It may well be necessary to load the skis along the first installment.

 +
==Tips==
 +
*There are bathrooms in access. Inside the monument rocks can be used to hide, but it is very important to carry a bag to take the toilet paper used, because it is a busy place and seeks to prevent small landfills to form inside.
 +
*Do not try to climb on the glacier as it’s possible that an accident might occur especially if you don't have the right equipment.

+
From CONAF, the route climbs steeply for about 45 minutes. The trail then enters the valley, joining an old vehicular road that zigzags upwards. After about an hour, once the path has climbed this initial lip of moraine, the valley narrows and you come to Panimávida Waters, a number of mineral water wells. Thereafter, the gradient decreases, and the path continues up the valley, with the impressive south face of Morado as a backdrop. After about 1-2 hours of easy flat walking you will reach Laguna de Morales (often mistakenly called "Laguna Morado" For this laguna, see [[Glaciar del Morado]]). This makes a picturesque end point, but it is advisable to continue another hour more, approaching the base of the glacier San Francisco. The trail is somewhat less clear, the slope increases and you are more likely to find snow between October and December.
+
 
+
===Expected Time===
+
 
+
At a normal pace, this trek should take about 3-4 hours between CONAF and the viewpoint of the glacier (the orginal article said 4 but this seems an overestimate). However, what is meant by "viewpoint" is not a defining point, but rather an area. It is a total of 16km there and back with 600m of acsent.

Route description

Profile of the route

From CONAF the route ascends abruptly for about 45 minutes. The road entrees the valley, crossing on many occasions an old road that zig-zags. Close to an hour later, once the trail has already remounted the initial moraine, the valley stretches and “Aguas Panimávida” appears, a patch of half-flooded grass with mineral water ponds. From now on the slope decreases and the trail continues to the north, with the imposing south face of “El Morado” as the background. After about two hours from mineral waters, the “Laguna de Morales” is reached (commonly confused with “Laguna del Morado,” for this lagoon see Glaciar del Morado). It's a nice destination but it is recommendable to continue another hour to the north, approaching the bottom of the glacier “San Francisco” (2.800 meters above sea level.) The trail is a little less clear, the slope increases and it's more likely to find snow on this part if you go during late spring or early summer.
