El Morado Natural Monument

Amazing park filled with amazing mountains, hiking trails with the best scenery rivaling the Alps. Very easy to tackle with many simple trails, come out here with an experienced guide to really take advantage of all the trails this place has to offer.

Just wow! Must visit, if you are in Santiago! Great unspoiled spot just in couple of hours or so ride from Santiago. Easily accessible without pricey tours - there are several buses running, including regular (every day in summer time; weekends - in winter time) MetroBus MB-72 (starts from Terminal Bellavista de La Florida at 7:30; starts back to Santiago from Banos Morales at 18:00, 8K pesos per person for roundtrip). Hike is relatively easy, compared to Cerro Pochoco/ Cerro Manquehue and involves almost no climbing; takes around 8 KM from the start of the route (Baños Morales) to end of the route (Glaciar San Francisco). 5-6 hours should be enough for roundtrip (including some time for bird watching, flowersniffing and enjoying great scenery). Be sure to have plenty of water (2 liters per person worked in our case), hiking shoes, sunscreen (little to no shade on the route).

Perfect! A beautiful sight and not crowded with tourists. A 6 km total trekking with gorgeous views of the canyon.

Really worthwhile, a rather short trekking to a glacier valley. Small fee to paid at the entrance to be registered and stay safe.

Steep trail for the first mile up to the laguna, but flattens out.

Very nice hot spring area, the wind in the valley is a bit strong, but once you are in the water, it's warm enough to make you forget the wind. No hot water for shower, so be prepared. Charging room gets crowded in the afternoon.

Absolutely loved this hike please add this to your itinerary while in Chile. Bring some good boots, hiking poles will help for sure. I can't wait to go back!!

Great place for mountain trekking, gorgeous views, great chance to see the glacier even during the summer.
