We go deep into the Cajon del Maipo, to the base of the Morado glacier. A stunning hike that certainly makes you feel the majesty of the mountain.

The Morado Glaciar is located inside Arenas Park, a private conservation park in Santiago's backyard. This park is very close to Santiago and within 2 hours-drive we reach the beginning of the trail. This glacier is among the most emblematic in the area. Even if it is close to the city, we have the impression of being on the other side of the world.
The trail crosses moraines and steep stretches culminating on the El Morado lagoon plateau. This trip takes around 3 hours to the base of Mt. El Morado at 3260 masl, where it's hanging glacial falls into the lagoon of the same name. An incredible and hard-to-believe landscape that is so close to a city such as Santiago.
This visit is among the most recommended during your visit to Santiago. It allows you to access places in which you still feel wild, where old glaciers hang, and where it still conserves the native flora and fauna of the mountain range. Try this experience and step into the rich valley of Cajon del Maipo, the symbol of the metropolitan region.
