Cerro Moreno

Cerro Moreno rises 1138 meters above sea level along the Pacific coast, presenting a steep ascent through narrow canyons and rocky terrain.

The mountain has served as a primary navigation point for maritime traffic since the establishment of Antofagasta's commercial port in the 19th century.

Local mountaineering groups regularly organize expeditions to Cerro Moreno, maintaining climbing traditions and documenting new routes to the summit.

Climbers access the peak through a dirt road leading to the national park entrance, where parking facilities mark the start of the hiking trail.

The summit features communication towers and provides unobstructed views spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Atacama Desert landscapes.
