Embark on this demanding trek to Cerro Champaquí, the tallest peak in Córdoba, enveloped by pine forests and high-altitude grasslands. This path presents unparalleled mountain vistas, offering fresh air and awe-inspiring panoramic views.

The final climb involves navigating granite boulders, leading to the summit at an elevation of 2,790 meters. From this vantage point, the view stretches to the San Luis Mountains and the Calamuchita Valley on clear days.

Throughout the day, there is a pause at the historic Estancia "San José" for a rejuvenating break before proceeding to the peak. The journey concludes with a lunch, allowing you to enjoy the unmatched natural scenery.

Tour Description

The journey kicks off at Villa Alpina, situated at an altitude of 1,340 meters, renowned as the traditional gateway to Cerro Champaquí, the tallest peak in the province of Córdoba. From this point, the trek progresses through pine forests as you make your way up the eastern face of Cerro La Mesilla.

Once you move beyond the forest and conquer the initial steep slope, the trail unfolds into mountain pastures, offering expansive vistas and the crispness of high-altitude air. After around three hours of hiking, you arrive at the López family’s Estancia "San José", where a short rest is taken before resuming the climb.

The subsequent phase is the most challenging: a winding path through granite blocks leading to the summit’s approach. At last, you stand at the peak of Cerro Champaquí, at an elevation of 2,790 meters, having conquered a total elevation gain of 1,450 meters.

At the summit, savor your lunch amidst an expansive and panoramic setting, with vistas that, on clear days, extend to the San Luis mountain ranges and the Calamuchita Valley. The return trek follows the same route back to Villa Alpina, completing an unforgettable experience for those seeking adventure and a deep connection with nature.

Increíble la experiencia en el Cerro Champaquí con Best Argentina Tours. Desde el principio, el guía nos hizo sentir súper cómodos y nos contó muchas historias del lugar. El trekking tiene de todo: paisajes hermosos, arroyos y vistas que te dejan sin aliento. En La Cumbrecita comimos muy rico y el grupo fue súper divertido. Totalmente recomendable para quienes buscan aventura y naturaleza, pero sin dejar de sentirse cuidados. ¡Sin dudas volvería a hacer otro tour con ellos! ¡Atrévanse, no se van a arrepentir!
