Very close to Santiago we find this amazing nature park in the Andes Mountains filled with fresh air. The hike is short and flexible to meet one's level of fitness or expectations!
Inside the park, follow our guide on a relaxing 4-mile (6-km) hike that lasts up to three hours. Wander into meadows strewn with wild herbs, and inhale the fresh, calming scents of pine, eucalyptus and cypress trees dotting Villa Paulina valley. Admire the breathtaking vistas and the La Paloma Glacier.
Yerba Loca is home to more than 500 species of plant and animal life. Look for the grey fox or Darwin’s leaf-eared mouse. Overhead, you might spot eagles or the mighty Chilean condor with a 10-foot (3-m) wingspan.
After the hike, enjoy a delightful gourmet picnic lunch, which includes freshly made local bread, wine, seasonal fruit, cheeses & ham and more. We relax, reflecting on the day together. We share what we have enjoyed about our interaction with nature, between us and the beautiful environment.
