We took the catamaran ferry to the end of the peninsula then enjoyed the 12 km hike back through the forest. The Peninsula contains a large number of ancient myrtles which have created an amazing ancient forest which is well worth a good look. After that the route back takes you through a forest of coihues, cypresses and ñires which again are really interesting. Towards the end of the climb there is an uphill section that takes ypu to some amazing view points the last of which are the best. They are signed posted off to the side of the main past and make sure you take the detour to see them.

~3700 feet (~1100 meters) of net vertical ascent. ~22 km round trip.Lots of volcanic sand/ash and loose rocks on the trail. Footing is not very good in a number of places, especially near the top. Trail is poorly marked in a number of places. A very good idea to have the Maps.me gps app installed on your cellphone. The trail is noted on map.me, which was very helpful to me when I got lost (despite perfect weather), which I did, 4 or 5 times. 2 hours 20 mins for me to ascend, including 2-3 stops to empty volcanic ash from low-cut hiking sneakers. The descent took about 3 hours, mainly because I lost the trail 3-4 times. Best to wear shoes that come up above the ankles to keep sand/ash and small rocks out. This is NOT a hike to do in marginal or bad weather. You will lose the trail, almost certainly. Others have written that the water near the top is drinkable. I would not advise this. Grazing animals, and evidence thereof, is everywhere. Best to bring your own water. I brought 3 liters on a cool day (22 C max), and I ran out of water with an hour still to go to get back to the car. This peak is known for very high winds that can come up suddenly. Be prepared. Enjoy! Not to be missed if the weather cooperates. Great views, solitude, majesty. Just wear the right shoes and bring plenty of water!

Amazing walk, especially on a clear day - view at top incredible. Easy to park at start 14km outside of San Martin de Los Andes. 5km up and then again down (10km total). Approx half the walk is shaded by trees. Map and profile at start of walk. See pic. Km 1 - easy - across a field. 2 fairly steep 3-4 STEEP Flattens in places later on At top is small shelter in case of wind. Spectacular views 360 Two of us are fit-ish. Aged 40-50 and took 3.5 hours total with a few breaks. Absolutely worth doing. Very well marked and prepared trail. Maps.me app also useful as a back up.

Coa Có and Blanco are two of Argentina's natural waterfalls, and their proximity to each other makes each accessible a convenient walking trail.
