Details
We begin with a short drive from Mendoza to Tunuyán (Manzano Histórico). Then we continue the ascent from Manzano Histórico toward Refugio Portinari (a primitive shelter for camping), arriving at “Arenales” at 2500 meters of elevation. A 45-minute trek takes us to the base of the spires and we begin the ascent depending on the chosen itinerary. We continue to the summit and descend to the base via a series of rappels, after which we return to camp.
