IMPORTANTE: Es necesario planificar su salida, extremando las precauciones en las temporadas de otoño e invierno, debido a que disminuyen las horas de luz natural, se registran temperaturas bajo cero y el terreno puede encontrarse con presencia de barro, hielo y/o nieve. Es fundamental contar con indumentaria y calzado adecuado. En caso de emergencia, llamar al 911.

This trail has a medium difficulty. The tour starts at Ensenada Bay, where the information sign is located, and ends at the intersection of National Route 3 and the access road to Roca Lake. The total length of the circuit is 8 kilometers (one way). During the walk you will border the coast and go through some slopes of different levels. Some sectors of the trail are usually very muddy, so it is necessary to wear  trekking shoes. In this area it is possible to watch different species of birds that inhabit the park and the coast of the Beagle Channel. It is important to know that this trail takes a long time, so it is recommended to return by bus or private vehicle.
