There are a few routes to take, but a common one is Salto de Apoquindo which leads visitors straight to a waterfall! That\u2019s right \u2014 there is a waterfall in the middle of Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is home to local fauna, including foxes, tarantulas and various birds. There are also many opportunities to check out local flora that reside in the dry and sunny Santiago climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to complete the full hike, it is important to arrive early to the park! Every visitor needs to check in before embarking on the excursion and you won\u2019t be allowed to complete the hike if the ranger does not think there is enough time. Arriving between 8 and 8:30 AM is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-attachment-id=\"10320\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/2020\/01\/29\/7-hikes-you-cant-miss-near-santiago-chile-part-1\/santiago-hikes-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 4000 ED&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"santiago-hikes-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?resize=640%2C427\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-2.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Mirador de Los Condores<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Difficulty: Intermediate<\/li><li>Length: 4-5 hours roundtrip<\/li><li>Location: Cajon de Maipo<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a couple of hours outside of Santiago is a great hike to the \u201cMirador de Los C\u00f3ndores.\u201d This translates to \u201cCondor Lookout\u201d in English.

But this one goes straight up hill! It is shorter in distance than Aguas de Ramon, the city\u2019s other popular trail, but is significantly steeper. Prepare to strut through the dirt trails, up rocks and to one of the most beautiful spots above the city. You\u2019ll sit right beside the clouds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for an easier hike, in the same area there is Cerro Manquehuito. This is a smaller hill and doable for hikers of all ages. On a sunny weekend, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll spot families, pets and groups of friends hiking up the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For both hills, make sure to wear proper trekking shoes and bring plenty of water. Hiking poles are also helpful due to the steep terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"10322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/2020\/01\/29\/7-hikes-you-cant-miss-near-santiago-chile-part-1\/santiago-hikes-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"819,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"santiago-hikes-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?fit=640%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?resize=640%2C800\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?w=819&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/adventureswithinreach.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/santiago-hikes-4.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) La Campana National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Difficulty: Intermediate<\/li><li>Length: 5-6 hours roundtrip<\/li><li>Location: Olmue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Palm trees galore!
