Refugio Cerro Lindo

A high-altitude refuge on Cerro Lindo west of town, where a day hike takes you to a cirque lake and panoramic views of the valley.

From a trailhead about 10 km west of town, the trail climbs roughly 1,000 meters over about 4 to 5 hours to reach the refuge at about 1,500 meters. Nearby are a cirque lake and a waterfall, and on clear days you can see Lago Puelo in the distance. You can stay overnight and climb the summit the next day. The route is steep and requires good fitness.
