Cerro Benítez, Mountain summit near Puerto Natales, Chile

The Cerro Benítez mountain rises prominently in the Patagonian landscape, featuring steep walls of conglomerate rock formations and numerous climbing routes.

The mountain contains deep-water foreland basin deposits from the Cerro Toro Formation, providing evidence of ancient geological processes between Laurentia and Gondwana.

The southern flank of Cerro Benítez houses the Cueva del Milodón Natural Monument, connecting the mountain to prehistoric human habitation in Patagonia.

More than 100 climbing routes with difficulties ranging from 5.6 to 5.13+ American grade accommodate climbers of different skill levels.

The mountain slopes serve as nesting grounds for Andean condors, making it an excellent location for observing these large birds in their natural habitat.
