Overview of your Santiago tour:

I was born and raised in Santiago de Chile and Cerro Manquehue always had an importance to the city because of the proximity of this island peak and also his special "Volcano shape" The name "Manquehue" means "Condor's nest" in the Mapudungun indigenous language and indeed you can probably spot one of those enormous scavengers gliding. For me, this is a special trail because it is a short distance it can take you to 1700 meters above sea level and give you beautiful views of the city and the ice-capped mountains on the east of Santiago, like "Cerro el Plomo". Because of the characteristics of the trail, I use it very often for training and when I need a quick "nature dose". I will teach you my techniques of years of experience practicing and guiding outdoor sports, the objective of the tour is that you can enjoy nature, learn new things and be safe. You will also learn about the local native forest and during the excursion, I will give you a general context of Chile and its culture and of course answer
