Summary:
We did the trekking with Cristian. It is of medium demand, where most of it is simple with moments of greater complexity. On the way to the hill you walk along the old mining route seeing some ruins of the facilities that remained. We were able to see a guanaco when we climbed to the top. Very nice panoramic view of the Punta Negra dam. Cristian was always very willing and told us things about the place, making the experience very bearable and interesting. In addition to Cerro la Sal we did Lomas de las Tapias and trekking to the black edge. I recommend!
