La verdad que no se puede hacer con lluvia, es muy peligroso, ya que en el bosque te resbalas con las raíces, maderas, plantas, escaleras, y está lleno de barro por todos lados. Preferentemente hacerlo en verano para que se aproveche mejor la caminata y las vistas, porque si está nublado no podes ver nada los paisajes. Ir abrigado porque te congelas y con estado físico óptimo porque si te toca una guía que te lleva a 200 kilómetros por hora, estás más concentrado en caminar que apreciar el glaciar y las montañas
