Mt. Purgatorio is located in the southern sector of our city of Santiago of Chile, it is a hill that intimidates many by its name, but without a doubt that name is not part of the reality of the hill. He has nothing in Purgatory. The hill from the beginning is friendly on the way up, it has wonderful vegetation and birdlife and a slope that gradually rises. We could say that the final stretch of the mountain is by far the most difficult and it is in this part where it is totally worth the effort and give everything to reach its characteristic summit that we can appreciate from all over the Maipo and Pirque Valley.
From the summit we can see part of the Cajón del Maipo and sectors such as El Canelo and El Manzano, which are seen in their entirety. But, the best without a doubt is to see the majesty of the Cordillera de Los Andes, which is located just in front of Mt. Purgatorio. In addition, the view towards Cerro Minillas and Cerro Punta de Damas stands out, rising and imposing with their snowy peaks.
