Laguna Sucia
An emerald glacial lake hidden beside the Three Lakes viewpoint and about 200 m lower, with a glacier pouring straight down the cliff into the water.
Laguna Sucia lies close to Laguna de los Tres, about 200 m lower. From the Three Lakes viewpoint, a short climb up a small slope to the left gives a view over the whole emerald lake, with the Río Blanco Glacier hanging down the cliff. Most people only look on from above. The route that descends the valley to the lakeshore has no formal trail and many falling rocks, so it is not recommended. It makes a good extra viewpoint on the Three Lakes hike; an additional 15–30 minutes is enough.
