How to get there:
The trailhead is the small village of Granada. A road continues
about XX kilometer from Granada, however this road could not be
driven when we visited in May 2025. We parked near the end of the
concrete street near location XX.
You drive to Granada starting from the large town of YY. The road is
partly paved in the first section, then good dirt to the small
village of YY. From here, the road is a bit rougher and a high clearance
4WD vehicle should be used.
Route: Note:
There is a more well known peak about 1.7 kilometer to the east, overlooking
the 7 lagunas. This peak has a solid rock tower
as its highest point. A ladder has
been put in place in order for people to get up on the top. This peak is called
Cerro Campanario. The elevation is approximately XXXX meter. The route of ascent starts
from the lagunas where the access trail ends.
First, hike the remainder of the road until it ends near the
creek at location YY. From here, a nice trail, initially with
stone steps continues to the lakes (lagunnas) higher up.
Note that you must leave this trail well before you reach the
lakes. There is a (smaller) trail that forks left near location
XX. Follow this as it climbs through vegetation then emerges to
an area of open grass land. Head uphill while tending left while
staying on open land. A track is posted on Peakbagger, the descending
route is recommended. You will cross a farmers fence multiple times.
Continue uphill and contour fairly high on the left side (facing uphill) of
a local hilltop. Descend on the other side and cross towards the peak in an
obvious way. Ascend going right to reach the main crest. Finally, head up
a short, slightly steeper section of grass, then more gently to reach the
highest point.
