    Tips

    December 1, 2025

    El Carbón hill offers a direct ascent with excellent views over Santiago, passing several marked viewpoints such as Las Pircas and Guayacán. The trail begins next to the La Pirámide road and climbs volcanic slopes to the summit, located at 1365 meters. It is a popular and freely accessible route, ideal for a quick outing, but it is advisable to wear footwear with good grip and sun protection, as there are exposed sections.

    A very nice view of the city. The climb is quite steep in places.

    In my opinion, the onward journey to Cerro Manquehue isn't really worth it. The last few meters are very challenging, and the view doesn't improve significantly.
