Cerro Pochoco, located in the El Arrayán sector of Lo Barnechea, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Santiago, Chile. At 1,804 meters (6,300 feet), it offers a moderately challenging climb and panoramic views of the city and the Andes Mountains. The Cerro Pochoco Astronomical Observatory is located there, adding an extra attraction for science enthusiasts.
Hiking boots and plenty of water are recommended, as sun exposure is high for much of the hike.
