The way that we are making on foot can also be doned in jeep and San Mauricio's Lake it is the first stop, we will have ask
the schedules of departure and arrival to the different lakes.
To go to the Ratera Lake we will be able to follow the road used by the jeeps or going surround the Lake of San
Maurici following a small road surrounded of vegetation. If we go skirting the lake we will arrive in about 20 min.
to the Ratera Cascade. An impressive cascade surrounded of coniferous.
If to the contrary we have continued by the road that use the jeeps, we could appreciate the Picos de los Encantados
(Charmed Pick) ones that surround the lake. But calm, we will also be able to see also the previous waterfall
(Ratera Cascade), if we follow a deviation signalled on the road that warns us that the cascade is to only 10 minutes.
We will leave the cascade and return to the road used by the jeeps, as we go ascending for the road the vegetation its more
scarce. We have arrived to the Ratera Lake, in its beginning if we go
|
jumping the stones until being in middle of the lake, we will be able to make some impressive
pictures. And if we are in time of the thaw we will find small cascades that come out from the among mountains and that end
in the lake.
It is a good moment to rest and to catch forces to make the last part of the route. We will leave the lake behind the crossing
of roads, we will continue in address to the Coma of Amitges (Refuge of Amitges).
We are at only 2 Km. to the Refuge of Amitges. We recommend to catch the deviation toward the viewpoint of the lake
(10 minutes) where we will be able to enjoy some incredible views of San Mauricio's Lake and from the Picos de
los Encantados (Charmed Pick).
The vegetation is scarce and if we are lucky maybe we can see ibex jumping among the rocks.
To the left side of the road we will find a fountain with fresh water, it is advisable
|
to stop and to catch forces, because we last part of the way its very hard. We will have to overcome an
unevenness of about 400m with two ramps that left us exactly in the Refuge de Amitges.
We have already arrived at the Lake Amitges.
There is few vegetation but also it is a bucolic landscape. We will be able to rest at the shade of some pine get
forces to te return and to the slope.
