A challenge for experienced climbers with advanced practical and technical knowledge is to climb Piedra Parada, a 300 m. rock next to Chubut river in the middle of the steppe. |
|
| |
From Esquel you must take route Nº 40 and drive 17 km., then take provincial route Nº 12, and after 65 km. of debris road is Gualjaina, a small village near Piedra Parada. |

In the area there are cave paintings, and rests of arrowheads and bones.
On the other side of the river you can see the "Big Canyon", and the "Vulture Trap", a 6 km. trail through a narrow ravine of 100 m. high walls.
The first route we recommend is called "Sueño Lento", a 240 m. climb.
The second route you can do is Big Bang, with 248 m. of a very exposed route.
If you are searching for more adrenalin, you may take the route called "A Long Way Home", for which you need more technical knowledge. |

Any of these routes to the summit is a shocking experience you will never forget. |
