쉬운 칠레 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

At the entrance of the Zorro Vidal trail, at the foot of San Cristóbal hill, you can contemplate a beautiful panoramic view of the city of Santiago.

There's nothing better to start or end a hike than a good coffee with magnificent views. The lake, the bridge, the mountains—the surroundings are absolutely unique.

The view of the Cuernos del Paine and Lake Nordenskjöld, along the trail to the Cuernos viewpoint, is one of the park's most iconic sights: the sharp peaks rise above the turquoise lake, creating a spectacular contrast. It's a very pleasant and accessible section, ideal for enjoying the scenery without long hikes. The wind is often strong in this area, so it's advisable to wear windproof clothing and securely fasten all your gear.

The Los Cráteres viewpoint offers a direct view of a row of parasitic craters, between 5 and 10 meters in diameter, where lava flowed in both directions, leaving folds and hollows that are now interspersed with invasive vegetation. Some craters are heavily eroded, while others retain clear shapes, creating a striking geological landscape. It is essential to obtain tickets from pasesparques.cl before arriving, as the area is not always well-connected.

The Fillkungüe Lookout features a wooden platform offering panoramic views of the Zanjón Seco and Correntoso Valleys, as well as Lakes Caburgua and Huilipilún. From here, you can also see the Llaima Volcano and the Sollipulli snow-capped peaks, creating a sweeping and highly photogenic landscape. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing break; bring a light jacket as it can be a bit windy.

The view of the Villarrica volcano allows you to appreciate its perfectly symmetrical cone and, on clear days, the contrast between the snow-capped summit and the surrounding forests. It's a very photogenic spot and easy to spot along the route. It's advisable to bring sun protection and a light jacket, as the weather can change quickly in this area.

The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception symbolizes the purity and grace of Mary, conceived without original sin. She is traditionally depicted wearing white and blue robes, with her hands clasped and the moon at her feet, a symbol of light and hope. On San Cristóbal Hill, her image rises like an icon, watching over the city from its heights.

The view of Santiago from the viewpoint next to the funicular's summit is one of the most iconic on San Cristóbal Hill, with the city sprawling below and the Andes Mountains as a backdrop. It's a very accessible spot, ideal for taking photos and resting before continuing along the higher trails. It's advisable to bring water and a light jacket, as it tends to be windier up there.
