Vallecitos is a scenic, albeit abandoned, ski resort that has transitioned into a paradise for trekking enthusiasts. Nestled among the mountains, it offers a multitude of trails ranging from easy to hard, ideal for both casual hikers and serious mountaineers preparing for more challenging climbs such as Aconcagua. The natural surroundings are breathtaking; the beauty of the place is highlighted by the snow-capped peaks and clear streams, providing an unforgettable experience. Visitors to Vallecitos can choose from a plethora of trails, leading from a comfortable 3100m to the peak of the Plata at nearly 6000m. Along these paths, there are ample refuges for overnight stays, with San Bernardo being a highly recommended option. Visitors often describe the experience as awe-inspiring, with the beauty of the mountains and the exhilarating adventure of the climb providing an unmatched experience. One of the key features of Vallecitos is its accessibility. Despite the gravel road leading to the resort having a fair share of twists and turns, it is well-maintained and navigable even in a standard car. The resort is also home to a park ranger refuge, which serves as the starting point for all the trails. While some visitors have noted that the trails are not always well-marked, the park ranger is always available to provide explanations and guidance on choosing the right path. The changing seasons bring unique beauty to Vallecitos. The resort is particularly stunning in March and winter, with tranquility, the murmur of waterfalls and the warmth of the sun providing a serene experience. However, it is essential to keep in mind that the snowy conditions in winter can make the journey challenging, and it's recommended to have snow chains at hand. Overall, despite the lack of significant snowfall leading to the abandonment of its ski center, Vallecitos has reinvented itself as an idyllic destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Its beauty, accessibility, and diverse trekking options make it a highly recommended spot for those seeking to explore the mountains.
