The mountain is approximately 20 km from the town center, and the road is mostly well-maintained. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel, as gas stations can be sparse in remote areas.

Once you arrive in Paine, you can either hire a taxi or check for local transport options that can take you closer to Cerro Cantillana.
