• Tips

Join me for a one-of-a-kind adventure in the Arenales and Lomas Blancas hills! Nestled in the heart of Cordón del Plata Park, the majestic Cerro Plata stands tall at nearly 6000 meters.

With its medium-low difficulty and minimal technical requirements, it’s the perfect starting point for adventurers eager to explore this captivating world.

From the summit, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking 360-degree view of Cordón del Plata Park, showcasing its towering hills and the stunning beauty of Potrerillos.

I also invite you to discover the Vallecitos area, which once boasted an exciting ski resort. Although it has vanished due to a lack of snow, remnants of its past, such as old chairlifts, machinery, and hotels, still transport us back in time.

Dive into this enclave with me, where adventurers from around the globe come to train and acclimatize before tackling Aconcagua. It’s the ideal place to prepare and conquer new heights.
