Cerro Castillo Hike

Very steep hike with Izzy, Margo & Alexander up to the stunning Lago Cerro Castillo, beneath the glacier and towers. Weather seemed very good as we started the trek but when we got to the park entrance, we were told that there’s 5cm of snow on the trail at the top, it’s going to rain all day so we’ll get soaked and we wouldn’t see anything due to the cloud. They strongly recommended that we do a different hike. They also said our shoes were completely inappropriate. After much deliberation between the group we decided to ignore everything that they said and plough on regardless … and it turned out to be an excellent decision! It was very windy and quite cold at the top, but stunning views and justtt warm enough for George to have a swim in the Laguna albeit a very brief one.Read more
