The hill of Manquehue (in Mapudungun: Mañkewe "condors' place") has 1638 masl and is part of the so-called "Manque hue Range" situated in the northeast of Santiago. This ancient hill has a unique ecosystem, with a sclerophyllous forest in its lower area. Occasionally, at its peak, you can see animals like foxes and long-tailed snakes. And in addition to numerous birds like condors, partridge, and turtledoves.
Our route to the peak of Manquehue begins in Los Trapenses. This route takes us to the highest point in approximately 1.5 hours. Although there are many ways to access this hill, we chose this route for its beauty, accessibility, and ease of difficulty. Along the way, we will see cacti, chaguales (flowering in spring), litres, maitenes, and other native and endemic shrubs. It is a little longer, but less sloping and more user-friendly.
The summit of Cerro Manquehue is wide and offers a truly incredible panoramic view of Santiago, the Mapocho River, and the surrounding mountain chain. Upstairs, we take the time to unwind, observe and share!
