Get to know Chile's nature, one step away from Santiago!
When you book this tour, you will visit the Quebrada de Macul, a natural park where you can learn about Chile's flora and fauna.
This excursion will take you deep into the mountains, an experience you will certainly not forget.
We will meet at the entrance of the natural park and enter the Quebrada de Macul. We begin the ascent through a small valley, through a forest, with beautiful views. We will try to reach the bottom of the ravine, where there are two small waterfalls. Finally, we start the return to the park entrance, passing along the banks of the stream that flows through the creek.
The hike is 8 km (5 miles), round trip.
It is a hike of moderate difficulty, designed for people who enjoy hiking and nature. It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear for walking on rocky terrain. We also recommend carrying a backpack with water, a snack, sun protection and protection against the cold, depending on the season.
We finish the tour at the starting point, that is, at the entrance of the Quebrada de Macul Natural Park, around 2:00 pm.
