TREKKING
From Lake Gutierrez to Emilio Frey refuge 5 hoursThe trek starts at the Lake Gutierrez autocamping, located at the end of the gravel road that links it with Villa Los Coihues. From the campsite there is a horse trail along a fairly long stretch. It is necessary to have the concern not to be confused with the bifurcations. The bite is away from the lake and joins with the old carriage road that comes from the Cerro Catedral. Parallel to the lake and leaving it to the left, we continue along the path until we reach a sign with the inscription "Picada Eslovena", to where the road of cars and tractors used to arrive. The sting rises until you find the road that leads to Villa Catedral, and then to the refuge.From the shelter Emilio Frey to the shelter San Martín 6 hoursThis crossing, one of the most popular in the area, connects two refuges of the Andean Club. It crosses the high summits of the Cerro Catedral and steep slopes, which is why precaution and prior advice is recommended. Starting from the Emilio Frey refuge, the Toncek lagoon is bordered and up to the Schmoll lagoon and the "soccer field". Here begins the Rucaco Valley. The road is well marked and it is difficult to get lost. Already in the valley, we cross forests and mallines, always keeping the stream to our right. After leaving the valley, climb up the north edge of the Brecha Negra hill until you see the San Martín refuge on the banks of Lake Jakob. Continuing on a steep pedrero, it descends to the center of the mallín, to the north of the lake, and soon one arrives at the shelter walking through a dry stream.From the San Martín refuge to the Italy refuge 6 hoursThis is a journey of greater complexity. Requires knowledge of rudimentary climbing techniques, and may require the use of safety ropes or ice equipment. We recommend the company of a mountain guide. From the shelter San Martín you reach the Los Témpanos lagoon, and from there you ascend the north slope that leads to the posterior edge of Pico Refugio. It is very important to study the route before undertaking the ascent. This section is the most difficult of the crossing, is exposed and presents some climbing steps. The normal road runs through the central part of the wall, making small crossings towards the sides. After passing between two small rock towers, the edge is reached, from where you can see the panorama of the region. The route continues through wide pedreros of loose rocks, bordering the summit of the hill Inocentes. When reaching this second slope descends towards the Christmas lagoon, to later reach the depression before the homonymous hill. It is reached the summit of the Christmas hill, and after 500 meters by the edge, is the beginning of the canyon that allows to descend to the Stone Vivac, to the edge of the bite to Negra lagoon. Continue until reaching the refuge Italy - Manfredo Segré.From the Italy refuge to Lake Mascardi 18 hoursThis is a two-day trip through areas that are practically bare. Departing from the refuge Italy - Manfredo Segré, it borders the north shore of the Black lagoon and rises to the depression located to the north of the Black hill. From there it descends towards the upper part of the valley until a tributary of the stream Lluvuco, that is followed until finding the stream of the main valley. After crossing the creek, take the steep climb, crossing the reed and wooded area until you reach the CAB lagoon. A hundred meters is advanced on its east edge, covered with ñires, soon to ascend towards the superior pedreros. From the edge it ascends to the hill CAB and goes down again until the mallín of the turns. This can be a good place to camp. The second day starts from the mallín and rises to the front in the direction of a derivation of the edge that comes from the hill Bonete. Once reached the main cutting edge, it descends by the opposite slope towards the drainage of the Cretton lagoon. From the bottom of the lagoon, on a not very steep slope, the edge that reaches the eastern lagoon Blue is reached. From there, one descends by the slope of the hill towards the drainage of the lagoon. Then it goes down the valley, always to the left of the Azul stream, through the bite that goes towards the river Manso, which crosses the suspension bridge, about 2 kilometers before its mouth in the lake
