Tour Description

Starting at the Vallecitos ski resort parking lot, within the Cordon del Plata Provincial Park, the trail gently ascends through highland grasslands and snowmelt-fed wetlands. As you gain altitude, panoramic views open up over the main peaks of the range: Cerro Plata, Cerro San Bernardo, and Cerro Vallecitos.

After about 1.5 hours, you’ll reach Las Veguitas — a wide mountain meadow surrounded by peaks, where you’ll pause for lunch, rest, photos, and to enjoy the surroundings.

The return follows the same trail, offering different perspectives of the valley with the peaceful sound of water and pure mountain air.
