Cerro Lindo; Where all you see, is beautiful

The trail to the top of Cerro Lindo, which is more than 2000 mts above sea level, takes a lot of effort, but it is worth it.

First of all, you have to get to the camping at the foot of the mountain, and from there, you start following a narrow footpath uphill to the shelter.

All along the spectacular trek, you will see beautiful, colored trees, which are an attraction of the place. The trail to the shelter takes about six or seven hours.

You will find several streams along the way to have water. The footpath is marked with red dots on the trees, and you have to follow them, in order not to get lost.

When you arrive to the shelter, you should rest for a while and appreciate the landscape.

Some points that you may not like is the fact that the shelter is not always very clean, and it may be a bit disorganized. You must remember that this building doesn’t have a good heating system. Apart from this I`m sure you will enjoy this mountain.

The way to the top is very well marked, so you won`t have any troubles with this.

The way back to the city takes about three hours and it`s very entertaining.
