Meet the guardian of the Sacred Inca Mountain Cerro El Plomo
The great Mt. Leonera
Leonera Mountain
The Cerro Leonera, whose name honors the great Puma, which inhabited this area many years ago, is undoubtedly an unmissable summit in the Central Andes. The journey that connects us with this mountain is a moving experience from beginning to end. With extraordinary views to a great part of the Central Andes and mainly to the great Apu Cerro El Plomo, this trekking does not cease to impress for the beauty of the place. The base camp site generally used is Cancha de Carreras, a large esplanade and a very good place to camp.
The road to its summit crosses several ridges that challenge our mind and body. Its summit generally exposed to the wind makes us feel all the strength of the mountain, while we contemplate in this natural viewpoint to beautiful mountains of the central Andes and the Plomo group such as the great apu Cerro El Plomo 5,424 masl, Cerro Punta Santiago 5,083 masl, Cerro Parsifal 5,379 masl and Cerro Bismarck 4,650 masl. With these spectacular views we connect with the energy and spirituality of the place.
A great mountain to begin to live the experience of being at almost 5,000 meters above sea level!
