Cerro Piltriquitrón, Mountain summit in El Bolsón, Argentina.

The Cerro Piltriquitrón reaches 2,260 meters above sea level, offering an 11-kilometer return trail through the Andean mountain landscape near El Bolsón.

After a forest fire in 1978 destroyed parts of the mountainside, local artists transformed the damaged trees into sculptures, creating El Bosque Tallado.

The mountain's name originates from Mapuche language meaning 'hanging from the sky', reflecting the indigenous heritage of the Patagonian region.

Hikers can access the trail from a marked trailhead 11 kilometers east of El Bolsón, with options for overnight stays at Refugio Piltriquitrón.

The mountain features an outdoor art gallery where burnt tree trunks have been carved into permanent sculptures representing forest wildlife and spirits.
