Wow, what a scenic hike ! We did it in one long day : 22km, 1800m D+ and the summit is at 4350 above the sea level. We needed 10h. We had to pass 3 times thru the river and had water until the knees. So it's better to bring sticks during the spring.

great hike to cerro penitentes, you should have some hiking experience to do it as it's quite steep in parts... 6 km and 600 m altitude to the refugio, where one (or maybe two people) can sleep inside or you can camp outside of course ... 4 more km and 1150 m to the top... fantastic 360° view!

There is a riverbed that can be used as a parking to go to the cerro penitente mountain. It’s to the south of here, you can ask for info in the Aconcagua center, about 4km further west. It’s a average 7 hour hike, with a shelter about 2-3 hours up, in The Valley (aprox 4 km). The first step is to cross the sketchy wooden bridge ;)
