If conditions and timing allow, the turquoise glacial reservoir at Embalse El Yeso sits at 2,475 meters elevation and is reachable by a scenic unpaved road from the canyon, offering a short flat walk along the shoreline with Andean condors frequently visible overhead. The color of the water against the red and grey rock is unlike anything in the city and tends to be the photograph families take home.
