Laguna de los Cinco Hermanos (GPX)

Great walk through the forest, ending with a very steep climb up to the lake. Beautiful scenary, lots of birdlife and incredible to see both Mount Olivia & Cinco Hermanos so close. The waterfalls on the way up (Cascada Velo de la Novia Ushauia) are not to miss!

I estimate that it would take about another 2 hours return to Cerro Cloche (which is the South), and would be a very easy walk as you are already at a similar altitude.

Route/Trail notes

After a short flat walk it climbs steeply for 5min until you reach the waterfalls. Afterwards the trail is relatively flat with some up sections. It can be very muddy in some parts. After about 1.5hrs you will cross the river from the Mount Olivia side of the valley, to the Cinco Hermano side. After this the trail becomes extrememly steep and muddy until you reach the lake after about 45 minutes. The trail is easy to follow the whole way. The lake was still frozen in late-Novemeber when I did the walk.
