- Cerro Ventana — the signature “window” in the rock: a natural arch you can walk up to for sweeping views over the pampas and the serranía. Short-to-moderate hike, perfect for sunrise or late-afternoon light. (Personal favorite — that arch never gets old.)
- Cerro Tres Picos — the highest summit in the range and the goal for anyone who wants a proper day of scrambling and wilderness. Tougher trail, big panoramas from the top and a real sense of accomplishment when you get there.
- Granitos y formaciones rocosas — the park is full of weird, photogenic granite towers, balanced boulders and fissures you can clamber around. Great for short exploratory walks, photography and low-key boulder-scrambling.
- Cascadas y arroyos — seasonal streams and little waterfalls tucked into the valleys that make

- Cascadas y arroyos — seasonal streams and little waterfalls tucked into the valleys that make for cool swimming holes in summer and pretty photo spots after rain. They break up the hikes and offer a nice place to rest.
- Miradores naturales — a handful of easy-to-reach viewpoints scattered across the park that give different perspectives of the serranía, farmland and horizon; ideal if you’re short on time but want big views.
- Flora y fauna locales — dry scrub, lenga-like woodland pockets and endemic plants, plus wildlife like foxes, armadillos, ñandúes and a healthy mix of birds of prey and smaller birds. Bring binoculars and a headlamp for critter-spotting at dawn or dusk.
- Piedra Movediza (réplica) y sitios culturales cercanos — the famous balancing rock (the original fell a century ago; there’s a replica and several local viewpoints) and small towns with gaucho history nearby. Not necessarily deep wilderness, but iconic for the whole Sierras de la Ventana experience.
