Even then, depending on the year and the last snowfall, is quite possible that it will be necessary to load the skis along the first part.==Access== ===Car==={{Acces to Banos Morales by car}}{{Public transportation Cajon del Maipo}}==Route description==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 VEGA 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 EL TREKKING DEL 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 the months of November or December
== Best seasonEstimated Time== *'' 'Trekking''': The best time for trekking is At a normal pace, this trek should take about 5 hours between October CONAF and May, Ideally November and December, however you may not be able to reach the mirador viewpoint of the glacier due to large amounts of snow hanging arond in October and November. *'' 'Ski touring''': Between June However, what is meant by "lookout" is not a well-defined point, but rather an area where you can appreciate and late September. Even then this depends on how photograph the winters gone and when impressive ice caves formed by the last snowfall was. It may well be necessary to load the skis along the first installmentglacier.
