==Descripción General==
Un excelente trek por el día. Ideal para que los veraneantes de Pucón maticen las vacaciones con un día diferente. Incluye caminata por bosque de coigüe, de araucarias, recorrido por sobre el límite de la vegetación a los pies del [[Volcán Quetrupillán]], una vista sublime al [[Volcán Villarrica]] y una vista muy buena al [[Volcán Lanín]]. El destino final es compensado con un descando a orillas de una laguna de montaña muy poco visitada.
==Época adecuada==
*'''Trekking''': Noviembre a abril. Aunque en noviembre y diciembre todavía habrá bastante nieve en algunos tramos. En enero, el problema serán los molestos [[Glosario#C|coliguachos]], que por momentos pueden ser realmente incómodos.
*'''Randonnée''': Junio a septiembre. Solo en pleno invierno será posible encontrar Paraíso Escondido con nieve, prescindiendo así de cargar los esquíes.

==Descripción de la ruta==

The route starts at Fundo Porvenir (1040 masl), from the side of the Ulloa family's house, the owners of the property.
You must start the walk in direction E (the volcano is seen in the background). A few meters from the start of the walk, immediately after crossing the barbed wire that closes the Ulloa garden, there is a sign: to the right, by a narrow path, it is towards Blue Lagoon. If you continue straight, you will go to the summit of [[Quetrupillán Volcano]] and [[Quetrupillán Circuit - Laguna Blanca - Blue Lagoon]]
The route loses part with a little slope advancing towards the southeast, and runs parallel to a stream. A few hundred meters, however, the vegetation becomes denser and the slope greater.
At km 1.51 (1160 masl) the path turns almost 90º to the south, faces the slope of the slope and becomes steeper. At 1270m there is a map of the route (although it is very unclear to indicate the essential "you are here").
At km 3.38 (1460m) you come to the confluence with the [[Villarrica Traverse]]. There is a sign indicating that there are 12 kilometers of walking to the nursery of [[Glossary # C | CONAF]] to the right (down). For Blue Lagoon, you must instead turn left, and continue ascending.
It passes next to a sign of "Km 46". There is no other option but to follow the path, because without it it is almost impossible to advance through the dense understory of the Araucanía. It passes under beautiful araucaria forests. Above, the forest is squat, with small lengas crushed by the meters of winter snow.
Immediately after leaving the forest, at 1600m, there is a camping site, marked with a sign. After this, the trail continues to the east. You pass by a sign that says "Vista al Quetrupillán" (thanks for the warning!). After that, the rura turns progressively towards the south, to cross the wide flat zone that conforms the southwest slopes of the [[Quetrupillán Volcano]].
An estuary is crossed immediately after which it passes next to a sign indicating "A Blue Lagoon". At 1660m, a few meters above that last sign, the route turns sharply towards the southeast. It is then passed through a steeper ascent zone and subsequently next to a "Km 50" sign.
Laguna Azul appears on the right (south), but much lower. Just before the pass (the highest point of the route), there is a small vulcanological station on the right (south) of the trail. The highest point is reached at the pass located at 1920m, kilometer 8.87. Now it remains to descend 320 meters to the shore of the lagoon. At this point, the [[Lanín Volcano]] appears to the east, while the [[Villarrica Volcano]] is left behind.
Then begins to border the Blue Lagoon in the east. The view of the [[Lanín Volcano]] is spectacular throughout this sector. If the path is covered in snow, which will happen at least until the beginning of December, it may be somewhat complex to intuit the location of the footprint in this section, so a GPS is welcome (although not essential). This section is completely devoid of vegetation, with characteristics of half mountain.
The trail continues descending, always on the east of the rocky spur that crowns the slopes that come from the lagoon (reason why the lagoon is normally out of sight). At 1790m, there is a flat sector with an extraordinary viewpoint of the lagoon with the [[Villarrica Volcano]] in the background. You pass next to a sign of "Km 52", and then the trail goes down with more slope. Just before reaching the south bank of the lagoon there is a pronounced zig-zag.
After the zig-zag you reach the south bank, an excellent place to rest, eat and bathe if the weather invites.
== Expected Time ==
Consider 4.5 to 5 hours of promotion, and 3.5 hours of return.

== Recommendations ==
{{Checklist | Type 1 equipment checklist: low altitude route, without camping, snow or cold}}
* For much of the year, the route is covered in snow. It is much more challenging to make this route when the path is not visible. Special attention should be paid to the sharp turn to the southeast.
