La ruta se puede hacer saliendo desde el sector Granizo y terminando en Ocoa o vice versa. Se describirá la primera alternativa.

Desde la Guardería de Conaf caminar por 600 metros por el camino de autos, al llegar al sector de campamento internarse por el sendero del andinista por unos 5 minutos donde aparecerá el "Sendero Los Peumos" el cuál se debe tomar. Éste transcurre por un frondoso y húmedo bosque nativo [[:Image:Sendero_Los_Peumos.jpg|(ver imagen)]]. El sendero sube moderadamente. Luego de 35 minutos de haber tomado el Sendero Los Peumos se cruza nuevamente la ruta de autos por la que se caminó previamente. Desde este momento la vegetación deja de ser tan exuberante.

Seguir la ruta por dos curvas, donde se llegará a otra bifurcación. El camino secundario nos llevará luego de 500m a unas abandonadas instalaciones de una antigua mina. Se debe tomar el principal. Para evitar caminar por la ruta de autos luego de la bifurcación tomar un sendero que va paralelo a la ruta pero levemente más al este (derecha). Luego de 300 metros éstos se separan definitivamente. El sendero comienza a ganar altura siguiendo el filo de un cerro en dirección oeste, luego de 45 minutos de subida , en algunos sectores con bastante inclinación, se llega al paso [[:Image:Portezuelo.jpg|(ver imagen)]]. Desde acá se tendrá una espectacular vista del valle de Ocoa, lleno de Palmas y algo árido, da la impresión de haber retrocedido al Jurásico. El contraste con los valles Cajón Grande y Granizo al sur es fuerte. Éstos últimos con una vegetación muy diferente y significativamente más frondosa.

Luego de disfrutar por un tiempo esta hermosa panorámica se comienza el descenso. El sendero es bastante claro, no habrá posibilidades de perderse. éste baja abruptamente por 30 minutos hasta que se llega al valle donde disminuye considerablemente la pendiente haciedo más grata y expedita la marcha. Desde que se comienza el descenso, el sendero va entre palmeras por la falda oeste de los cerros orientales del valle. Cuando se llega al último cerro la dirección cambia a Noreste, luego de 10 minutos adicionales se encontrará la ruta principal del sector de Ocoa. Desde el paso hasta el Sector Casino son 1,5 hrs de marcha (5km). Tomar la ruta en dirección norte para ir a la guardería, fin de la travesía. Si aún se tienen ánimos y energías para seguir caminando, si se toma el sendero al sur se puede visitar una hermosa cascada y una mina de cuarzo (más información en trek: [[P.N. La Campana, Ocoa]]).
Luego de 25 minutos por el sendero se llegará a la zona de campamento de Ocoa, en 10 minutos adicionales a la entrada del parque y fin del trek.

===Tiempo esperado===
A un ritmo normal, este trekking debiera tomar alrededor de 6 horas.

==Permisos / Tarifas==
Se paga una entrada de $1.500.

From Los Andes, you should take the international road to Mendoza CH-60. Continue on this road for approximately 50 km and exit immediately before the 20-curve slope that ends in Portillo, here begins a dirt road that penetrates the same valley that the railroad used to travel to Mendoza, you can still find traces of its tracks and installations. This road, is generally in good shape. After approximately 8 km you will see two houses, a summer residence for the valley muleteer. This is where the trek begins.

===Access by Public Transportation===
[[Imagen:Perfil_Glaciar_Juncal.png|thumb|200px|left|Perfil de alturas del trekking. The vertical scale is increased]]
#You can take a bus in Santiago (at Los Heroes subway terminal) that goes to Mendoza. You have to pay the price of the total trip and negotiate a special price, since you will not be going to Mendoza. Ask to be left at Curva Cero (Curve Cero), or at the Galpon de Vialidad Juncal. From there, the walk is about 2 hours long.
#From Los Andes, take a "colectivo" to Rio Blanco. Ask to be taken either to Curva Cero or Los Hornitos. Walk for about 2 hours.
#From Los Andes take a bus to Rio Blanco. Hitchhike to the gas station to curve cero. Walk for 2 hours.

==Route Description==
[[Imagen:Trek_Glaciar_Juncal_ruta.jpg|left|thumb|Juncal Glacier Trek, Google Earth Image]]
After parking at the houses, start walking on the path toward the southeast, after about 5 minutes you will reach a bridge that crosses the river, the path slowly ascends for about 25 minutes reaching a lookout that reveals the valley almost in its entirety, and the beauty of the peak Alto de Los Leones. The path descends lightly until reaching the valley, starting here, the walk is relatively flat with a few occasional ascents and descents. Immediately after passing some fertile lowlands, you will reach a zone of large rocks (Boulders), that can be used as a campsite. Here the road will open in a fork of different paths, you should keep going south until reaching the river Monos de Agua, this river is 7 mts wide and it usually does not exceed knee-height, but during the months when the glaciers thaw (December), it can be the greatest obstacle of the trek. To cross the river, it is recommended to take shoes to get wet, because of the low temperatures, and a rope in case it is carrying too much water. [[Imagen:Ruta Glaciar del Juncal.jpg|right|thumb|Route to Juncal Glacier]]. It is also recommended crossing Monos de Agua as early as possible to avoid the a rise in the volume of water. Once having crossed, continue on the valley of the Juncal river (the same valley you have been walking up the path), and not the Monos de Agua Valley, the later would take you to the [[Glaciar Francisco Moreno]] described under the trek with the same name. Fifteen minutes from the river the path begins to ascend and after going around a mountain the road turns [[Imagen:Vista Cerro Alto de los Leones.jpg|left|thumb|View of the Alto de Los Leones Peak]] left revealing little by little the glaciers of Mount Juncal, at the curve the moraines of the glacier will start to appear as the path gets lost. Here a decision must be made as to when to turn back. You should keep in mind that when you reach the moraine you will be on top of the glacier, and these tend to have large [[Imagen:Paisaje trek Glaciar del Juncal.jpg|right|thumb|Landscape Juncal Glacier Trek]]crevices that could be hidden under the snow.

===Estimated Time===
*'''Trekking''': 4 hours to the the glacier and 3 hours back.
*'''Mountain bike''': 2 hours to the glacier, 1 hour back.
Also consider 30 minutes of a car ride from the fork to the beginning of the trek.
