Located in the Cordón del Plata, Central Andes, Cerro Plata is an icon of the place. The ascent to this hill is an almost obligatory step for many mountaineers who visit this mountain range and want to get started in high altitude mountaineering. It is the highest peak in that place. Conquering its summit will allow us to have a panoramic view of Cerro Aconcagua, Cordón de la Jaula, Vn Tupungato and the other 6000 located entirely in the province of Mendoza: the C° Negro Pabellon.
