Santiago is quite a privileged city when it comes to trekking in its mountainous surroundings, enjoying of beautiful landscapes and a captivating setting.
With AndesTerrae, we offer you 9 spectacular and varied outings that can be done during the day, just steps away from the city. Of these, 4 are ascents and 5 are treks.
We offer many options; for example, if you don't have the entire day, we can count on ascending the Pochoco; or if you do not wish to walk, you might as well relax in some beautiful Andean hot springs in Termas del Plomo.
The availability of specific treks depends on the season of the year, and on the weather. Treks in the Coastal Range are specially recommended during the winter for its more pleasant temperature and the impressive view of the snowed Andes.
