Laguna Brava | Tourist Attraction

August 4th, 2023 by on.vagabonde

Really beautiful! Everybody will tell you, you need a guide but if you are lucky you don’t… they do now a checkpoint near jaguel to see if you have a guide with you. We hear they do the check between 9am to 2pm so you can try to pass before or after ;) if you are unlucky you can still have a guide from this point.
The road to go to laguna brava is very long but really beautiful! It’s 2/3 paved roads and 1/3 not paved but doable for anyone.
We suggest you to already drive a little bit in the afternoon and sleep at one point then in the morning to drive to laguna brava otherwise it’s really a long drive.

Laguna Brava, refugies, air plane wreck.
You don't need a guide although in the tourism office they tell you need one. No need a 4x4 to get there.
Be aware of the rain.
Totally worth it!!

No need for guide till here, eventhough the guy at the tourist office said you need one. Easy access on the ruta 76, no need for 4x4 or high clearance. Don't go in wet conditions. Laguna is at about 4300m, the highest point of the route is about 4600m.

Laguna Brava, you can get there with or without a guide. This salty altitude lake is 4350 m. The trail to get there is beautiful. There is a refuge next to which there is the skeleton of a hungry Chilean named the Destapado because the stones that cover it are constantly taken away by the wind. You will see pink Flemishes who gather next to small geysers not far from the refuge. In the lake you will see elements of an airplane that made an emergency landing due to overload, no casualties. The lake is shallow at most 1.5 m. The area is swept by strong winds.

Laguna brava, vous pouvez vous y rendre avec ou sans guide. ce lac d’altitude salé est à 4350 m. la piste pour s’y rendre est magnifique. il y a un refuge à côté duquel il y a le squelette d’un chilien mort de faim nommé le destapado car les pierres qui le recouvre sont sans cesse ôtée par le vent. vous y verrez des flamands roses qui se regroupent à côté de petits geysers pas loin du refuge. dans le lac vous verrez des éléments d’un avion qui a fait un atterrissage d’urgence pour cause de surcharge, aucune victime. le lac est peu profond au plus 1,5 m. la zone est balayée par des vents forts. paysages magnifiques.
