Routes of knowledge

La Campana National Park / Ocoa sector

Located only 110 km from downtown Santiago and 90 km from Valparaíso, the entrance to La Campana National Park through Ocoa offers 4 options for hiking through beautiful plains, areas of ravines, hills and mountain ranges, alternating through different environments of sclerophyllous and hygrophilous forests and thorny scrub, typical of the Coastal Mountain Range and the Mediterranean climate of Central Chile, in the only national park in this large area of the country.

This guide will guide you during the tour and will suggest you carefully observe some details of what you can find along the walks, sharing with you some knowledge that will allow you to better understand the complexity of the processes of nature expressed there.

We invite you to be amazed by the abundant presence of the distinguished Chilean palm, a species that arrived from tropical areas tens of millions of years ago, and is almost extinct due to its intense exploitation in the last two centuries.

And to surprise you with the slight traces of a past of human occupation and exploitation of its mineral and vegetable resources.
