From Santiago drive 37km to La Parva Ski resort (2,800m) and start hiking the ski slopes up to Laguna Franciscano lookout point (3,500m,2hrs). From here it is a 3hr hike to the summit of Cerro Pintor. Descend to La Parva in 3-4hrs. and drive down to Santiago. We take the Camino de Farellones, following the road to the La Parva Ski area continue uphill up to "Piuquenes" From there, climb Falsa Parva, and in doing so, reach the ridge of peaks that culminate in Leonera.
