Altos de Lircay Reserva Nacional

Hard to say what my favorite Parque is in Chile, but this is one of the contenders! Especially once you are above the treeline the flowers are so beautiful (this was halfway February), and the views are stunning.
The first 5 kilometer or so is a bit boring, and you have to walk it twice, but you can make a nice circle up in the mountains. Quite a long walk though!

Worth every single minute of your time to complete the hike on this National Park. Apart of Torres Del Paine...This seems to be falling into my all time fav places in Chile and its not very far from Santiago too!!!

Very nice state park with great hikes.

We did the Enladrillado hike (took us 8 hours, but if your more trained than us 6 could be duable). The view was fantastic.

There is also a great camping where most of the hikes start.

Entrance to the camping by car is possible, but you really need a 4x4. Actually they only let you through if you have a 4x4.The road is verry rocky and bad.

We paid 5000 for the park and 3000 per day for the camping.

The camping itself is very nice with good facilities. At the time we stayed only the women showers had (sometimes) hot water.

The sites itself are very nice with power and a light (although at most sites there was no bulb in it). Each site has also there own water tab.

As we have a tent in our roof we needed a leveled spot. We only could find 2 or 3 good spots. If you only have a tent then no problem at all. Bigger campervans are out of the question (only the road allone is impossible).

Your are only allowed to cook with gas!

All in all a beautifull camping with nice hikes. Highly recommended!

It is a wonderful place, great escape from the city even by public transport. Greatly recommended to all the nature lovers as well as to anyone who just needs to disconnect and take a step back from the buzz of civilization.

Amazing place! Easy to access and the park is pretty big, you can do different trails depending on yours skills. I recommend go in summer or spring. In winter is very cold you have to be prepared!

This place made me cry from the views. It is a very well run park. The walk to the admin building is 2 km and uphill. It was easier for people with 4x4 vehicles.

The staff was very friendly and helped us pick the best walk for our 4 year old toddlers. They loved it.

The woods are diverse, the air fresh, and the mountains are energetic.

I loved my experience here.

We camped in the CONAF campground. Nice place to start birding from. The road from the entrance gate up to the campground is rough and rocky. Take your time. Showers are cold. Toilettes poorly designed. But staff very friendly. And the Nothofagus forest is magnificent. Good hikes begin at campground. So less of a walk than starting at the entrance gate down the hill. Bring toilette paper. And they insist you have cooking gas. No fires are allowed at campground even for cooking except on a gas stove. They found it hard to believe that our premade sandwiches would be enough.

It is well worth coming and visiting this national reserve. The park rangers are very polite and well informed, so make sure you tell them what your trip goals are: hikes, camping, sites to see etc.
The natural beauty is very well displayed and it's up to you to walk to the several observation points or miradores to enjoy the impressive views of the mountains.
I highly recommend it.

Wonderful national park

Great park. Stunning views.

spectacular view when you're on top. walk is not too difficult but still takes its toll on the way back ( around 25km).

Beautiful view and unbeliable flat top of the mauntain. You have to be there!

Amazing place, if you arrive to enladrillado you will understand

Great hiking and horse riding.

Amazing. Beautiful forests and mountains.
