Hiking
Manquehue Hill, whose name means "place of condors" in Mapudungun, is the highest point in the Santiago Valley and one of the city's most iconic natural viewpoints. At 1,638 meters above sea level, it offers challenging but very popular hiking trails with panoramic views of the valley and the Andes Mountains. Its sclerophyllous vegetation, with quillay, peumo, and chagua trees, is home to fauna such as foxes and Andean condors.
It is recommended to bring water and wear good footwear to enjoy this classic Santiago climb.
