The Yerba Loca 2D1N camp is an experience designed to offer an authentic and accessible experience, without rushing or imposing demands. Just an hour from Santiago, we enter the sanctuary and hike into the heart of the valley, choosing between easy, moderate, or more challenging routes depending on the group's level.The focus isn't on reaching further, but on truly being there. We sleep under the stars, we share around the fire, we listen to the river, and we allow ourselves a deep breath, away from the noise and close to what matters.An experience that changes your rhythm, your body, and the way you experience the mountains.
The moments that turn this outing into a unique experience.
Camping here isn't just about spending the night: it's about surrendering to the silence, the clean cold, and the imposing presence of the mountain range.
From gentle hikes to more challenging trails, each route adapts to your pace and connects you with the mountains in your own way.
When everything is simplified, the important things emerge: the air, the body, the landscape… and what you really need.

We are new to hiking and he was patient with us and gave great instruction. I would recommend him to everyone who wants to try hiking in Chile. The hike was worth the breathtaking views once we reached the top. We made it just in time for sunset!
