Description
The entrance to this park was 4,000 Chilean pesos per person for foreigners (extranjeros). They take your name and give you a map of the park (English or Spanish). I've included pictures of it. The road from Antuco to the entrance was paved except the last 10 kilometers. Everything inside the park is unpaved but in good condition. We drove with our 2WD without a problem (a couple of times in first gear but very briefly).
The hiking options are as follows:
•Sendero Sierra Velluda- 4.6 kilometers, difficult.
•Sendero Las Chilcas- 1.6 kilometers, easy.
•Sendero Los Coigues- 1.7 kilometers, moderate.
•Sendero de Chile is divided into 3 trails:
°°Lagunillas Chacay- 3.0 kilometers, moderate.
°°Cerro El Toro Laguna del Laja- 4.0 kilometers, moderate.
°°Laguna del Laja Los Barros- 24.0 kilometers, moderate.
You can easily spend one day here. It is beautiful. We drove up to the laguna and then came back to the trailhead for Sendero Las Chilcas, which was really stunning. All the trailheads are well marked throughout the park so easy to find, the map helps if needed. This time of year is perfect for a visit, we recommend it. They have a ski resort in here as well for the winter season.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Still very beautiful and the campsite Parque Antuco is very nice too. I went (on a motorcycle) to the laguna (6,5 km from campsite), road is hard gravel and bumpy, but good to do. They maintain it. I did two walks that start on opposite sides of the road, when you return from the laguna: Las Chilcas (1,6 km loop) and Los Coigues (1,7 km one way to Mirador). Both are really beautiful and recommendable. Entree to park is 4500 Chilean pesos. The camping is after the entry to the park, but I could ride through.
Report Check-InWe were a bit disappointed... It's probably better in normal times. At the moment (covid time), only two very short hikes are open and the mirador on the Laguna but you can't go further and can't do the interesting hikes around Antuco Volcano. You can't stay the night either. The entry is 5000 per car for now.
