About this experience
Santiago stands out for its easy access to imposing peaks such as Cerro Pintor, located at 4180 meters above sea level. This hill, famous for its red, green and blue colors, can be accessed in one day from Santiago, starting at the La Parva ski center.
The route includes an ascent to Laguna Piuquenes and then an additional 200 meters to El Pintor, passing through La Parva hill. Although technically simple, the route requires physical effort, especially at more than 4,000 meters above sea level where the climate is colder and the air drier. The summit offers spectacular views, especially of El Plomo Hill.
