The equipment to use is light and it is recommended to go with waterproof footwear, since it is probable that we have to cross areas of waterlogged floor.
We begin the walk in the rural establishment Lefimán that is to 45 minutes of the Sectional one of Guardaparque Quillén ( 45 Km . from Aluminé). To locate the path easily it suits to follow the one wired, for the left of the village.
Of the rural establishment Lefimán to Black lagoon. Time: 2 hs. It is a journey that Malalco goes for the valley of the stream. They are lands very anegadizas that are used for shepherding, for what is easy to find many prints that confuse the march. The best thing is to take the path that goes to the foot of the mountainous cord of the left.
The first thing that gets the attention is the great quantity of rabbits that are crossed. In the valley there is not forest, only michay plants, ñires and some solitary pehuenes. On the hillsides of the cord of the left cypresses are come that are distinguished for their conical form and the clear green color of the foliage.
In 1 hour the lagoon is bordered The Rushes, habitat of a great variety of birds. If we come closer a little and with patience, can that we also see some coipo. After passing this first lagoon the path comes close enough to the stream and it follows it during a good distance. Something later on passes an erosion caused by a torrent. This type of erosion of the land is given especially in sharp hillsides that don't have the protection of the forest. Of there they are scarce minutes to the Black lagoon. This lagoon, the same thing that the previous one, is in fact a mallín, solely covered for the water in spring. It is important to keep it in mind for not continuing of long. The different aquatic birds can be observed that nest in the place, among those that stands out the mandola, of attractive hooked pick, and the cauquén. |
