Season
- Trekking: September to April. In September and October may
there is a considerable amount of snow that makes it difficult to walk, and not be possible to access by car to the barrier, but this will rewarded by an even more beautiful landscape in the summer months.
- Randonnée: June to September. In the middle of winter and soon after
Snow is possible that the vehicle is forced to be fairly away from the dam. For that reason, if there is only one day is not good idea from a very short time after a snowfall. From September, may be necessary to remove the skis in the brief stretch that skirts the reservoir after the dam.

northwest. After advancing a few minutes from the highest point, Black Lagoon will be visible. From this point the journey becomes even easier to follow, then simply point to the lake, in a permanent decline. In the vicinity of the lake the decrease becomes more pronounced. The beach, the proposed final destination, appears first time.
Expected Time
From the edge of the dam, the walk should not take more than two hours to the lagoon where the land is clear. Consider a slightly less time back. With snow, however, walk will take quite some. As can also be need to start the walk from behind the dam, it is possible taking the trek runs the entire day.

From the same dam, the land is owned by Aguas Andinas. The step is not is permitted without permission.
