Tepuhueico Park Hike

Enter the wildest area of the Tepuhueico Park on this hiking tour, where we'll explore the forest's flora and fauna on Isla Grande de Chiloé.

Options

When making your booking, you'll be able to choose between the following options:

3-kilometre (1.8-mile) Hike: 1.5 - 2 hours

On this hike, we'll tour the outskirts of the Tepuhueico Lodge until we reach the lake of the same name and the source of the Bravo River. We will pass a 10-metre (32-foot) high waterfall and view the river with its caramel-coloured waters that flow towards the habitat of the huillín, a Southern River Otter. We will arrive at the Waterfall viewpoint and visit the Mañíos Square, where trees date back more than 600 years, standing 30 metres (98 feet) above the ground.

7-kilometre (4.3-mile) Hike: 4 - 5 hours

We'll begin by visiting the Arrayanes Cathedral, surrounded by a dense vegetation. A myrtle tree forest opens up, where some trees can reach up to 25 metres (82 feet). We will visit the banks of the Bravo River and traverse a forest full of mosses, lichens, shrubs and centuries-old trees. This option includes a short stop at Mañíos Square and continues to the Waterfall viewpoint, where you'll hear the flowing water in this spot within Tepuhueico Park.

Pickup

This tour includes pickup from hotels in Castro and Chonchi. If you're staying elsewhere, we recommend choosing the option without pickup and making your own way to the Tepuhueico Lodge.
