The trailhead is located along Route 82, also known as the Pan-American Route, near the curve in front of the Mendoza River. The trail is well-marked, and from the entrance, the ascent up a steep mountain begins.

Though the trail is of easy difficulty, it is a long route with no water sources and very little shade, leaving hikers exposed to the sun.

It is recommended to bring plenty of water for the entire trek, which, round trip, will take approximately 7 hours for an average person.

This trail is popular, especially on weekends and holidays, and offers stunning views of the pre-mountain range, with Lake Potrerillos visible in the distance.

The trek culminates at "Camello" mountain (Camel Mountain), marked by a metal camel statue at the summit.
