Hiking
This lake is named after the Swedish explorer Otto Nordenskiöld, who discovered the basin during one of his geological explorations.
The immense Lake Nordenskiöld accompanies hikers along the W and O treks from the Ascencio Valley to the Francés Valley.
The play of light on the lake's waters is particularly striking. When clouds gather, the spectacle is breathtaking.

Stunning are the colors of the lake. Depending on the light he shimmers in a different color. Sometimes the clouds and the surrounding landscape are reflected in it. You will forcibly stop and admire this play of colors.
