In this stretch you will have to cross many small streams. It is very important to have a pair of sneakers or sports sandals that can get wet or you will waste time taking off and putting on your hiking boots. This author recommends a good pair of Crocs. As a general rule, always look for where rivers divide into many shallow streams to find a safe place to cross. Follow the cairns and red poles towards the end of the valley. The path is always clear, but depending on the water level, it's possible you will have to leave the path in search of a safe crossing.
The climb to the pass is very gradual and you'll reach the top an hour after entering the forest. Here you have a beautiful view of the Aviles river to the south and the glaciers of Valle Hermoso behind you. You are now entering the private property of Estancia Chacabuco. The descent to Puesto Limite, a campground at the end of the Estancia's property, is very fast. Here you'll find a palisade to protect your tent from the wind, a fire pit, and benches.
According to the map, Google Earth, and the view from the pass, it should be possible to arrive to another glacier and lake from Puesto Limite. This author could not find the trail however. It's possible Conservacion Patagonica will build a trail in the future.
