Cerro San Gabriel, which measures 3,125 meters, is an ideal mountain to start mountaineering. Use of crampons and ice axes is essential to reach its summit. No previous experience is necessary, but good physical condition is required.
From the summit, you can see spectacular views of the mountain range. The view is pristine and makes you feel calm. It's a challenge that leaves you feeling very satisfied. Climbing helps you disconnect from the city and breathe clean air. It's a place where the effort becomes a wonderful memory.
