Laguna Jakob is a pretty alpine lake located near San Carlos de Bariloche.it’s a long walk in and needs at least two days to be set aside to visit it. If arriving at ‘Tambo’ by taxi it will probably drop you off at the gate on the dirt track. Continue up this track for about 100m to large clearing/car parking area, this is the start of the trail. Continue along the trail, after a few hundred meter there is a signpost (pointing to Cerro Bella Vista to the right); continue round to the left. The trail ascends for about 1km before dropping down to continue alongside the river. After a couple of hours cross the bridge over the river and the trail heads into thicker vegetation and away from the river. After another couple of hours the trail start to ascent the hill, slowly at first before zig-zagging up the steeper section and arriving at a new wooden bridge. Cross the bridge and climb over the rocks, the trail continues for about another 1km before arriving at Refugio Jakob.
