In fact it is closed!! Many people go anyway, as there are no barriers.
That's why many companies still sell the package; but they don't take you to the place or they say that if you go it's your risk!! Frustrating..
Therefore, I recommend that you ask the company whether or not they will go to the location before concluding the package.

Magical place, breathtaking landscape!
But I must admit that the path is quite dangerous, you can only go in the summer and I don't recommend going without a specialized agency with a LOT of experience. It is not a tour for children or elderly people or those with any type of limitation.

Bad only the smell of cigarettes and the musicals from the 80s and 90s . They should put gospel music to animate the Van more during the journeys . Driver exercising the dual function also of guide went well. Very hard work. Congratulations.

We went by car, the place really is wonderful but the road is very dangerous, most of it is not paved, cliff on one side and mountain on the other with rocks falling on the car. There are no two cars on some stretches, the vans rush past you and don't wait, we had to reverse several times for them to pass and I almost died of my heart, there is no structure at all, we went in the spring, in the winter it must be even worse. It's very windy there so you have to dress warmly, we couldn't stay long or even reach the end because of the wind.

Incredible landscape! But very dangerous. The road is very narrow and dangerous. The day we went, there was a huge flow of cars and, several times, we were inches away from the cliff. It's worth going once because it's really beautiful, but I wouldn't go back.

Perfect place, very worth visiting. There is no way to come to Chile without coming to this place. You need to be prepared with 2 sets of clothes in your backpack. One is cold and the other is hot, as the weather tends to vary a lot throughout the day.

Place with a breathtaking view, very tense road but now that there was no snow I thought the journey was peaceful. We rented a car and went on our own. There are no facilities there, bring water and snacks
After the asphalt road comes approximately 6km of dirt, and when there were 1.6km left we left the car and continued on foot to the dam.

Beautiful place, speechless. You spend 1 hour just observing the beauty of the place, it was a quick trip, but it was worth it. It's a good trip for those in Santiago, you leave early and return right after lunch. And the view is worth it.

The place is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. A little dangerous due to the rocks that fall into the embankment, but with a guide who knows the region everything goes well. Anyone going to Chile, I highly recommend it!

The Embalse and its lagoon is so beautiful with the snowy mounitain. The trip is very intense but you need to hace good driving skills to arrive the Embalse. If you don`t have too much experience driving choose other destination in the area. The road in winter has movement of rocks in some places before arriving the Embalse. Now you cannot pass the Embalse by car, you have to walk. There are two sites where you can leave your car safely.

Existe horário para subida e descida? Não consegui confirmar esta informação em lugar algum, pretendia ir apenas pela manhã e retornar perto das 12h mas não sei se será possível
Written January 29, 2024
Acredito que não tenha horário mas eu sai por volta de 8 hs de Santiago e retornei 12hs. Acho o horário ideal porque depois fica muito trânsito de vans.
