The Caracoles de Villavicencio are the path to follow to reach the Paramillos Cross. It was used in the past as a step to Chile. Today is an unmissable journey that is also known as "the 365 curves road." In this tour is El Balcón, a natural viewpoint from which you can see the highest peaks of Los Andes such as the Tupungato (6,800m), the Mercedary (6,770 m) and the Aconcagua (6,959 m).
It is a picturesque road, also called "the one-year route," which covers the distance from Paso Caracoles to Cruz de Paramillos (3,200 m.s.n.m), being formerly the forced passage to Chile. It is currently an unmissable cornice trail, with an interesting flora and fauna and a spectacular view of the Cordillera. (Wikimapia)
