Parque Nacional La Campana

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:27:22

Looming large within this national park are two of the highest mountains in the coastal range, Cerro El Roble (2200m) and Cerro La Campana (1880m), which Charles Darwin climbed in 1834.

La Campana remains relatively uncrowded despite its closeness to Santiago. It’s subdivided into two main sectors: Conaf’s main administration station is at Granizo, near Olmué, 1.5km before the southwest entrance side of the park; and there are sometimes rangers at Ocoa, in the north of the park. There are good hikes from both entrances.
