Description
Beautiful craterlake at high altitude (4600 m; 14000 feet). From Laguna Grande take the left turn at a fork. It goes up to the craterrim at 4800 m. Then you go down into the large crater (steep). Only 4x4! The distance from el Peñon is 75km. The trip (from el Peñon to Laguna Grande and further to Laguna Diamante and back the same way) takes about 6 hours (150 km). At the tourist information in el Peñon they told us that you can do it at your own. The next morning another lady told us that a guide is obligatory. We did it on our own and we liked it very much. Beautiful trip!

Latest Check-Ins
Absolutely beautiful and situated in one of the biggest craters on earth. Beware of that final downhill section into the crater It's very steep with washouts + it goes up to 4800m. We had to push our little 250cc motorcycles, since they didn't have enough power anymore. So before going downhill, make sure your vehicle has the power to go up again - it is very remote!!! Nobody said that you need a tour.
