Cerro el Pelao

hike | 2022-12-10
2624 m altitude, 359 m prominence, - km isolation

There was heavy rain in the morning, but we are not afraid of rain, unfortunately the weather forecast for the rest of the day is even worse. The day starts late, and we are in no hurry, so we drive towards Dique la Angustura lake. On the way, we have to wait for a few hours until the rain-washed road is fixed. We arrive and see that the weather has completely improved, with the sun shining through the clouds. We don’t wait for anything, so we drive to the Cerro el Pelao trailhead and climb.

Few horses on the ascent 
Wide trail
Surrounding views

The whole trail, several kilometres long, is very gradual. A few small descents and climbs later, we are at the top, where a small cairn is located. Nearby, on a slightly lower stone, there is a plaque and big cairn

The views around the area are great, with the Cumbres Calchaquies and the foot of Cerro Bolsón de los Cerillos. Soon we’re back in the car, driving to the hotel and thinking about dinner. The setting of Dique la Angostura lake resembles a mountain holiday area, with many tourists and attractions for them. A cool place to relax. Tomorrow morning the weather forecast is positive and we will try to climb Cerro Nuñorco Grande
