Chenque Cerro Guido

“An exciting challenge for our sports walkers climbing, the highest peak of the Sierra Contreras and the hill that gives our ranch its name. At 1270m high, you will discover an exceptional panorama and a valuable archaeological monument, the Chenque, a great burial mound erected by the Aonikenk, a native people of Patagonia, now extinct.
We walk out of the hotel itself, climbing continuously through open fi elds until we reach the foot of Sierra Contreras Mountain.
Here comes an arduous climb up the steep slope of the hill, on rocky terrain and with no path, to a fi rst plateau, where a great view of Sierra Baguales rewards our eff orts. To reach the top of Guido Hill, where the famous Chenque is located, we continue our ascent and cross another large inclined plateau through a more progressive and smoother climb. A spectacular view awaits us, in 360 degrees, over the surrounding valleys, mountains, lakes and glaciers, with the Torres del Paine in the
spotlight.”
