Tour description

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.

A fantastic hike with an amazing guide!! Arturo is so knowledgeable of the local species and vegetation. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with him. Also, the landscape is spectacular and you’ll be able to soak your feet in fresh streams. Bring your sunscreen, some water, an hat and good leg muscles and enjoy the hike with Arturo!

Arturo is a fantastic guide. He arranged to pick me up at the nearest Metro station as finding the entrance to the National Park would have been a challenge. Arturo is passionate about nature and very informative about the plants, a lot having interesting medicinal properties we also tasted some of the berries & fruits. He was also very informative about the birds & insects we saw including the Panda Ant! There are some spectacular views of Santiago on the walk and the waterfall is spectacular. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone interested in nature and a nice alternative to the city tours of Santiago.

La caminata es dificultad media, es cansado, pero haces las pausas que requieras, si disfrutas de la naturaleza valdrá el esfuerzo 😃😃
