An approx. 40 km drive (very challenging in rainy season - 4WD vehicle highly recommended, check road situation before leaving) leads North-West from San Antonio de los Cobres. The trail head is directly at RN 40. With a high car / 4WD you can drive up a bit further.

Otherwise the tour starts at RN 40 and leads up an old mining road in several switch backs. At approx. 5200 m you leave the road and continue a trail towards the summit. The slopes are now getting steeper until you reach a last plateu before the summit end spurt. The summit is 5486 m high.

This probably the most classic duathlon effort possible within Death Valley National Park, the "Death Valley Duathlon" or "Death Valley - Rim 2 Rim - Duathlon"
