View of Mount Aconcagua

Highlight • Viewpoint

Besides the lake, here you have an incredible view of Mount Aconcagua, which, let's remember, is the highest peak in South America.

Tip by

1.61 km

It is a tranquil body of water that reflects the sky and the surrounding landscape like a mirror. In summer, the lagoon dries up completely, exposing its bed and transforming the landscape into a different, arid terrain, where the shape of the former lagoon can still be discerned.
