Cerro Pintor, Mountain summit in central Andes, Chile

Cerro Pintor rises to 4,180 meters above sea level, featuring mineral-rich slopes that display different colors throughout the changing daylight.

Local muleteers named this mountain based on the mineral compositions visible on its earthen surface, which create natural color patterns on the slopes.

From the peak, visitors observe El Plomo mountain at 5,424 meters, which holds significance as a former Inca ceremonial site in the region.

The ascent begins at La Parva Ski Center at 3,000 meters elevation and extends for 14.6 kilometers round trip through marked mountain paths.

The mountain ranks eighth among 'Los Imperdonables Santiaguinos' with its southern face presenting natural mineral pigments that resemble a painted canvas.
