Season
This trek can be done year round, but the ideal time is May, when the Oak trees are red, orange, and yellow. The winter months are also good when the Andes are covered in snow, and there is a beautiful view to the Aconcagua and company. For those who chose to ascend by bike, you should be careful in those days that just after a front of bad weather, snow has fallen on the peak. During those days (4 or 5 days a year) it can be necessary to carry your bike on the final stretch.
Acceso
En auto
Desde Santiago, se debe tomar la carretera panamericana (ruta 5) en dirección al norte. El desvío a Rungue está en el kilómetro 54. Se debe tomar esa salida (indicada por un cartel de "RUNGUE RETORNO" porque sirve para ambas cosas) y entrar al pueblo. Donde termina la calle por la que venimos, se debe doblar a la izquierda y, pocos metros más adelante, a girar a la derecha (se acaba la calle de todos modos) para cruzar la linea ferrea y luego un puente sobre un estero. Inmediatamente después de cruzado el estero, se debe girar a la izquierda, y comenzar a bordear el estero por un camino de asfalto. Se bordeará luego el embalse Rungue. Tras 3,9 kilómetros desde la panamericana y justo después de cruzar un puente pequeño, surge un desvío a la derecha ("A Caleu"), el que se debe tomar. Este camino está pavimentado también, pero es muy angosto, por lo que se debe tener mucha precaución en las curvas. El camino se interna por el valle y asciende progresivamente. Aproximadamente en el kilómetros 11 desde el desvío (14,9 desde la panamericana) se ha llegado a Caleu y surge una bifurcación: debe tomarse la izquierda, que sigue subiendo ladera arriba. 970 metros más arriba, muy poco antes del paso hacia el valle de Olmué, se encuentra la caseta de cobro y el portón desde donde surge el camino la cumbre del cerro El Roble a mano derecha.
Nota: También es posible llegar a Caleu desde Til-Til, para lo cual se debe dejar la carretera panamericana en un desvío anterior, pero resulta más rápido la variante por Rungue descrita más arriba.
En transporte público
Existen tres recorridos únicos que van desde Tiltil a Caleu, que salen desde el supermercado Unimarc. En primer lugar se debe tomar un bus desde Santiago en el terminal la Paz, cerca del metro Cal y canto con dirección a Tiltil. Por medio de transporte publico sólo es posible asistir los sábados, dado los horarios de ingreso del Santuario. Para esto se debe tomar el bus que sale a las 10 am del supermercado Unimarc de Tiltil, estarán llegando al rededor de las 10:30 hrs a la entrada del santuario(el horario de ingreso es hasta las 12). Para regresar se puede tomar un bus que pasa a las 17:30 hrs desde Caleu a Tiltil por el mismo camino principal.
