Hiking
Hiking Manquehuito offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the area around Santiago, Chile, from above. Once you reach the summit, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding mountains. It's worth starting early to enjoy the best views, as the air is often clearer in the morning.
The trail to Manquehuito can be steep and slippery in places, especially on the descent. Therefore, sturdy footwear and plenty of water are essential. Many hikers also recommend using good headlamps in the dark or at night, as the trail is unlit and visibility can be limited.
