Cerro Pintor is a daylong excursion to the Andes Mountains located behind Santiago. The adventure includes a high-altitude trek featuring breathtaking views of the nearby peaks and the metropolis of Santiago nestled in the central valley below. The hike begins at an altitude of 3000 msnm (9850 fts) and although the arid weather and intense sunshine can prove challenging, the path does not include any technical steps and is well demarcated. Depending on your preference, the tour can either stop at the Piuquenes Lagoon (3.500 m) or continue to one of the three different summits along the route; Falsa Parva (3.900 m), La Parva (4.000 m) or the highest point, El Pintor (4.200 m) (13.800 fts). The final decision rests on the day’s weather, your enthusiasm, and the advice of your well-experienced guide.
