== Appropriate time ==
The most advisable time for this route is during the spring since the road is clear of snow (although there are still scattered patches), the temperatures are pleasant and it is possible to observe Santiago with little smog. Winter is complicated by the snow that accumulates along the route and the unstable weather. Summer can be hard due to high temperatures and lack of water. Autumn has the problem, like winter, of having fewer hours of light and like in summer there is no water on the route except in the channel at the beginning.

Anyway, this route can be done at any time of the year if the appropriate measures are taken in order to enjoy a pleasant walk.

== Difficulty ==
The ascent does not present any particular difficulty, except for a rock step near the summit, but that should not be an obstacle for anyone who has been able to get there. In general, the slope of the road is not important, except for specific places. The real difficulty of this hill is the extension of the day to the summit and back, which can reach 10 hours of walking with a significant gap. The physical difficulty for a sedentary is very high, while for someone with good physical condition is medium / high.

=== Expected time ===
At a leisurely pace, consider five hours of ascent and three of descent.

== Recommendations ==
{{Checklist | Type 2 equipment checklist: medium altitude route, no camping or snow, some cold}} In spring and summer, of course. In winter, consider [[Checklists_for_trekking_and_montañismo # Checklist_of_quipment_type_3: _ruta_sin_acampe.2C_con_nieve | Checklist of equipment type 3: route without camping, with snow]]
* The hill is visited by enough people, although many arrive until some point previous to the summit. It is unlikely to reach the summit with children under 12 years old, adults over 50 and / or people with a very bad physical condition, especially if they have no experience. This is far from meaning that they can not try, they should simply go with the idea of reaching "as far as they can", which in any case will be a good experience and perhaps the first step to achieve the summit in the future.
* It is possible to drink and load water in a channel located a little above the great carry of the Province and the bifurcation to Vallecito. In summer, it is the only source of water and allows you to avoid loading from the beginning what you need for about 8 or 9 hours of (arid) march. The consumption of water goes hand in hand with the physical state of the person (the more demanded one goes, the more water is lost), so that someone with a bad physical condition, or a large part of the national population, will need a lot of water, At least 2 liters and maybe more a hot day.
* Admission with pets is not allowed.
* A real possibility is that it gets dark before you get to the bottom so you ALWAYS have to go out with a flashlight. Ideally you have to program yourself to avoid it (sunset time [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=232 here]).
* If you have an additional day, it is advisable to continue from the summit towards the south to the summit of [[Cerro San Ramón]], in the call [[Travesía de la Sierra de Ramón]], with an excellent view to Santiago to the right and the high Andes to the left.
