Hiking Laguna Inge Trail
A short taste of the WLaguna Inge is a 9.2 km (5.
Laguna Inge is a 9.2 km (5.7 mi) out-and-back from EcoCamp Patagonia along the eastern W route toward Los Cuernos. The path crosses the Ascencio bridge and reaches the small lagoon in about an hour each way. It is a useful day walk if you want a piece of the W without continuing to Los Cuernos. Plan on roughly two hours of walking, plus a stop at the water.
Where to turn aroundThe main destination is Laguna Inge.
The main destination is Laguna Inge. A further 300 m reaches a view over Nordenskjöld Lake; that extension is not included in the 9.2 km. The trail follows the same corridor on the return, so this is an out-and-back rather than a loop.
