    Tips

    Toncek Lagoon, located at an altitude of 1,700 meters on Cerro Catedral, is notable for the intense green color of its waters and its surrounding granite towers, which attract mountaineers and photographers. On its shores stands the Emilio Frey Refuge, a key point for hikers exploring Nahuel Huapi National Park.

    In summer, it's an ideal place to rest after a hike and enjoy the views, while in winter it often freezes over, creating a spectacular landscape.

    The beautiful lake Laguna Toncek is located directly at Refugio Frey at 1,700 meters. Surrounded by imposing granite rock walls that make the heart of every climber beat faster.
