- Farellones - The Mapocho River, a vital resource for Santiago’s residents, originates on the slopes of Cerro El Plomo, a revered mountain known as Apu Wamani. This high-altitude adventure takes you into the heart of the Andean landscape sculpted by this iconic river.
Your journey traces the beginnings of the Mapocho River, starting with a 1-hour drive east of the city. Here, you can opt to explore Yerba Loca, a park boasting a picturesque valley, welcoming trails, and pleasant picnic areas—home to over 100 archaeological sites.
Alternatively, for those seeking a more demanding experience, we can continue 30 more minutes to the base of the Andes, where you’ll have the opportunity to climb summits like Cerro Pintor. The hike begins with breathtaking views of glaciers, towering 6,000-meter peaks, and, on clear days, even Santiago far below.
Whether you choose the serenity of Yerba Loca or the exhilaration of conquering Pintor, the beauty and thrill of the Andes will accompany you every step of the way.
Our tour is fully customizable, tailoring the hike to match your fitness level and preferences. Hikes can range from approximately 5 to 8 hours.
