Campamento Federación serves as the base camp for Cerro El Plomo, the highest peak visible from Santiago and a classic mountaineering objective in the Santiago Metropolitan Region.

Situated at approximately 4,100 meters above sea level, the camp is a well-known staging point for climbers and trekkers heading toward the summit.

The typical approach begins at La Parva ski resort, from which a trail ascends through the Andean terrain to reach the camp.

From Campamento Federación, climbers enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding Andes before either continuing toward the summit or descending back to the starting point.
