Have a transformative experience on Cerro Provincia, Santiago's most iconic urban-mountain challenge! This trail running tour immerses you in the Andean foothills, connecting you with untamed nature just 1 hour from the city centre.
Order of the Experience
Start in San Carlos de Apoquindo (7–8 AM): I will pick you up at your hotel with all the gear ready: trekking poles, hydration backpack, energy snacks, sun cream, and a GoPro camera for epic photos. We warm up with dynamic stretches while I explain the route, provide breathing tips, and set your personalised pace based on your level (beginner–intermediate).
All times are subject to your fitness level.
Ascent at a comfortable pace (approx. 2–3 hours):: We will run along rocky and gravel trails with a 1,700-meter (5,577-foot) elevation gain, tailored to your fitness level. The scenery changes in the foothills of the Andes, offering spectacular views of the high mountains; we stop at viewpoints for photos and talks about the native flora and Chilean trail running.
Epic Summit (2,900 m above sea level, ~12 p.m.): 360° views of Santiago, Cerro El Plomo, Marmolejo, and San José. We'll celebrate with a picnic, fruit, and an immersive photo session. A moment of complete reflection and pure disconnection.
Descent at a comfortable pace (approx. 1.5 hours): We descend using safe techniques; we cool off in creeks.
This challenge is fully tailored to your fitness level. Return to the car with a personal debrief: what you achieved, next challenges.
Wrap-up (2–4 PM): I drop you off at your hotel with an online photo/video gallery.
All-inclusive; just bring good hiking shoes and a desire to push yourself.
This 6–7-hour day requires a basic to intermediate fitness level (brisk walking/jogging), but I can adapt everything to your needs.
