El Plomo is the most striking mountain in the cordillera range to the east of Santiago, snow covered all the year round.
El Plomo is one of the most striking mountains, clearly visible from Santiago in the cordillera chain. It is a target for mountaineers and also a place of legends and history, especially that of the boy child sacrificed by the Incas and found in 1954. See the post on the Inca Mummy, June 6 2011.
