A park with a view

Chiloe National Park is located by the Pacific Ocean, 58 km South from Castro town. The road is paved, however with many curves, so the driving is quite slow.

Leave the pier to head south passing next to Chonchi town. Only 9 km before reaching the Park, we will drive along Huillinco and Cucao Lakes. Throughout this trip, we will learn about the local flora, fauna and the history of the primitive settlements visited by Charles Darwin in the 1800s.

Upon arrival to the Park, which has 43.000 hectares, we will visit its Visitor's Center, where we will receive the first instructions and get ready to start the wonderful trek.

Our first portion of the trail consists of 450 meters of easy walk up to the first view point, from where we will observe Cucao Lake and also the Pacific Ocean. After some minutes, we will continue other 500 meters to reach the start point to the “Educational El Tepual Trail”.

This trail is a circuit of 770 meters on mostly flat terrain but with many wooden gangplanks and steps along the path. Along the walk, we will see many different species of trees, such as coihües, mañios and cipreses. Drive back to the pier to join the ship.

Walking information: Total walking is nearly 2.8 km at a slow pace, with around 80 steps in total and many wooden gangways along the trail.
