What to do and see in Valle Central, Valle Central: The Best National Parks

September 2, 2021 Brain Ambrose

Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

Altos de Cantillana

Altos de Cantillana is a wonderful mountain region a 1,5 hour ride away from Santiago de Chile. It is not a public nationalpark area, that is why you do not find any tourists and trekking within wild nature with some rivers crossing, endemic flora and fauna is guaranteed. This tour is ideal as a 1 or 2 days trip from Santiago. You can sleep in a tent in the middle of this private national reserve surrounded by mountains.

My family and me went to that Park several times. Have nice areas with great views, and the chance to take contact with the natural and pristine Andean forest and fauna. Have places for camp, barbecue and have clean restrooms.
