Monte Zeballos, Andean mountain in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
Monte Zeballos is a mountain in Santa Cruz Province that rises to 2743 meters as part of the eastern Andes range. The peak features reddish slopes with volcanic rock formations set within sparse, open terrain.
The mountain is named after Estanislao Zeballos, an Argentine geographer who founded the Geographic Institute and explored the Patagonian region. His work advanced the understanding and mapping of this remote area.
The area around the mountain shows traditional Patagonian landscapes visible from Provincial Route 41, which connects remote settlements in the region. Visitors notice how the terrain shapes local life and travel patterns across this sparse terrain.
The mountain area is most accessible from December to April when weather provides good visibility and gravel roads are safer to travel. These months offer the most stable conditions for exploring the region.
Three major rivers originate from the slopes of this mountain: Río Los Zaballos, Río Los Antiguos, and Río Pinturas, eventually flowing into Lake Buenos Aires and Río Deseado. These waterways shape the hydrology of the entire region.
