110 KM north of Santiago in the middle of Chile's Coastal Mountain Range lies the beautiful La Campana National Park. The park's privileged location makes it one of the few protected areas of continental Chile's Central Region.

We will guide you through this stunning park, where you will be able to glimpse and appreciate its diverse flora and fauna which, centuries ago, captivated Charles Darwin. On our way through the park we'll take you to Palm Grove, where you'll find the Chilean palms, one of the most important natural attractions in the park due to its endemic characteristics and because it is the southernmost palm tree in the world.

Our trek will lead us along the Guanaco Trail beside the Rabuco stream to the Amasijo trail. Here you'll be able to stroll through forests and vegetation where animal and bird life abound and where you can simply appreciate nature's splendor and tranquility. While walking on the lower slopes of the Labrado and Penitentes hills, we'll have a short stop for a delicious, energizing lunch before continuing to the sector Cajon Grande, which, because of the lack of human presence and intervention, is a unique place for conservation and biodiversity. By this time the afternoon will be drawing to a close as will our trek. We will exit through the Cajón Grande Sector where our transport will be waiting to take us back to Santiago.
