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.
