-Impressive views of Mt Plomo and Mt. Altar
-High altitude mount, 5000m
We start in the morning and drive for 2 hours until we reach “La Parva” ski center, where we leave the car (2900m above sea level). We ascend for 4 hours, until we reach the “Cerro Pintor” where we set up camp. From here we will have an astonishing view of the Mount Plomo and the hanging glacier. We will still have time to hang around the camp, even to climb the Cerro Pintor(just a 15 min climb) and we go to sleep. Early in the morning we start the ascent, after 4 hours aprox. we will reach the summit of “La Leonera”, from this point we will have an impressive view of the central andes, including Mt. Aconcagua, Mt Plomo, Altar, the whole Santiago Valley and the “Cordillera de la Costa”. We still have to walk 5 hours more to the car and we reach Santiago in the evening.
Alternatively we can start the day before in the evening and sleep in the ski resort in order to get used to the altitude. In this case the total price will be $140.000 accommodation included.
Warm clothes are necessary, could be cold.
Note: The price is per group (up to 4 persons), and includes the transport and some basic equipment like sleeping bags, cooking set, and tent. The food is not included.
