Uno de mis favoritos en la región de Aysén. Tienes mucha diversidad de flora y fauna nativa. Se debe pagar ingreso y estadía. El parque tiene senderos de mediana y alta complejidad, todos con señalización. Posee sitios de camping con agua del río cerca y con letrinas. El parque en sí es concurrido desde diciembre a marzo, destaco que cierra en abril debidos a condiciones climáticas. Así que debes contemplar el tiempo ya que durante este año se cerró en temporada por clima. (Translated by Google) One of my favorites in the Aysén region. You have a lot of diversity of native flora and fauna. Income and stay must be paid. The park has trails of medium and high complexity, all with signage. It has camping sites with nearby river water and latrines. The park itself is crowded from December to March, I note that it closes in April due to weather conditions. So you must contemplate the time since during this year it was closed for the season due to weather.

I recommend the Las Horquetas trail of 4 days. The reserva offers a variety of landscapes including mountains, lakes, rivers and some beautiful flowers. Next to that, the trail is well marked and the campsites have many facilities.

The park is beautiful. There is a day hike, 3 day hike, and 4 day hike. The day hike is very popular and there are lots of people on the path. The 4 day hike is the next most popular, however it is nearly empty. We ran into about 2 people per day. Be warned, the multi day hikes are difficult. You must bring lots of warm clothes and be sure to have hiking poles. There are very very steep passes that you make. We went near the end of the season (December 15 - March 15) and the passes were covered in snow, making it very difficult to cover. Be aware of what you are getting into before you go, don’t just walk in expecting a casual hike.

Hicimos travesía Las Horquetas desde 25 al 27 de marzo 2023, comenzando en el kilómetro 67 carretera Austral ruta 7, desde Coyhaique el pasaje en bus costó $8.000 p/p, hay que avisar que bajas en las horquetas. La entrada al parque se paga en una caseta a 1 km aprox desde la carretera, son $28.000 p/p. Los camping Río Turbio y El Bosque (primera y segunda noche respectivamente) tienen acceso a agua del río, letrinas, sin ducha, mesas para cocinar, espacios bien definidos y planos para la carpa. Según mi experiencia en otras travesías es muy caro para tener senderos mal demarcados, carteles sin información, servicios muy básicos en Camping, lo cual está bien para ser una travesía en zona natural de difícil acceso, pero no es consecuente con el cobro alto. Comparo el valor de esta experiencia con W de Torres del Paine, considerando que el valor de los camping es similar, cuentan con gran cantidad de servicios como duchas con agua caliente, baños, quincho común para cocinar con calefacción y muebles y senderos muy bien demarcados que informan los km recorridos y faltantes. La experiencia la recomiendo, cerro castillo es muy hermoso, sin embargo insisto es muy cara la entrada. (Translated by Google) We made the Las Horquetas crossing from March 25 to 27, 2023, starting at kilometer 67 of the Austral highway, route 7, from Coyhaique the bus ticket cost $8,000 p/p, you must notify us that you are getting off at Las Horquetas. The entrance to the park is paid in a booth approximately 1 km from the road, it is $28,000 p/p. The Río Turbio and El Bosque campsites (first and second night respectively) have access to river water, latrines, no shower, cooking tables, well-defined and flat spaces for the tent. According to my experience in other treks, it is very expensive to have poorly marked trails, signs without information, very basic camping services, which is fine for a trek in a natural area with difficult access, but it is not consistent with the high charge. I compare the value of this experience with W in Torres del Paine, considering that the value of the campsites is similar, they have a large number of services such as showers with hot water, bathrooms, a common barbecue area for cooking with heating, and furniture and well-marked trails. that inform the km traveled and missing. I recommend the experience, Cerro Castillo is very beautiful, however I insist that the entrance fee is very expensive.

I habe mixed feelings writing this review as the park itself is really nice (especially Laguna Duff! ❤️🇨🇱) the park is lovely, the mountains crazy and the landscape beautiful! The camps have even toilets and sometimes real ones with flush and buckets to throw the paper away🚽! BUT CONAF! Have you heard of Trail maintenance or trek repairing? Some trails can be barely seen as the bushes and trees grow 🌳 especially after some rain it’s nerve breaking to go through the wet bushes and get wet twice. sometimes there are bridges and sometimes you need to cross a river barefoot 🦶 why are are you charging foreigners 3 times more (16$ for 3-4 day) and locals nearly nothing. For that price it like to see some trail maintenance as in all the other parks around the world.. CONAF. You can do better.

This is one of the most amazing places and trekk's I have ever done, it was 4 days and was totally worth it. Word of advice, wear double layer long sleeved clothes as the march flies are a shocker but they calm down towards the afternoon around 9pm.

Un maravilloso lugar para estar en la montaña. El coste del ingreso por ser de un privado lo hace algo elevado y hay discriminación por ser extranjero. Se debe tener muy en cuenta las condiciones climáticas para poder hacer algunos trayectos. Me encanta ir allí cada vez que puedo. (Translated by Google) A wonderful place to be in the mountains. The cost of admission for being private makes it somewhat high and there is discrimination for being a foreigner. You must take into account the weather conditions to be able to make some routes. I love going there whenever I can.

Amazing views all the way to the top. Start early to avoid the heat and the house flies

Beautiful national parc. We hiked to the Laguna Cerro Castillo. A beautifil laguna and on your way back you get a spectacular view on the valley

This park has a very nice hike to the blue lake. Very much recommended!

From the top of the hill you can have an amazing view of the valley, the Cerro Castillo Hill and lagoon. The short hike (you leave from Villa Cerro Castillo) takes about 6 hours, and it is a difficult climb, but totally worth it.

perfect for a multi day hike, not too many people (like at torres del paine)

I liked the hikes but it's so dumb that if you want to enter on consecutive days you need to day separately for each day instead of being able to buy the three day pass.

Easy 8km round trip hike to the Laguna Verde through deciduous pine forest and meadows. Path is very even, well maintained, easy to follow and has a steady mild grade except for a short climb near the viewpoint and so is suitable for all ages. Witches Hut was closed when we visited. Lake itself is very pretty and there are picnic tables in small huts and clean bathrooms. The Mirador has a couple of benches to relax and stare at the lake. There is a lot of maintenance work being done in the park, so the park drive was closed to us, but we did see buses using part of it. Keep your eyes and ears open to spot the local flora and fauna. Online reservations were required, but you pay by card only at the entrance. The drive from 240 is a few kms up a very steep, very rutted road.

Nice, but for someone from Switzerland not really special and worth it, because same as in Swiss alps

Nice to go for a quick walk but nothing special there. You will walk into the forest but even the miradors won't give you a nice view.

perfect for a chill sunday hike, with well marked trails

Nice walk and well maintained paths.

We did the large loop hike from the entrance up to the top, and it was a great hike! The ranger station said this is about 14 kms, but our tracjer placed it closer to 17 kms, so plan for a,big, long steep hike over the whole day. It was uncomfortably windy at the top, but the views and landscape was spectacular and worth it!

Perfect place for an easy walk. animals are hard to spot so if I go again I would take only wide angle lenses and leave all tele lenses behind. depending on the weather the light is very tricky but its usually dark in some places. but they are good for dramatic photos. consider that it rains a lot so take something to protect you and your equipment.

Great walk to do on a short day trip from Coyhaique. Worth getting a cheap taxi to the start, as the road from town is not so safe to walk due to traffic. Two options for hiking - the lower route should take about 4 hours. Leave early if attempting the high trail, which goes to about 1200m.

A nice easy hike, take food, water.

Overpriced for what you get. Hardly any views at the miradors. There are much nicer treks along the carretera austral.

Muy hermoso recorrido, aunque se debe cancelar su ingreso $5.000 adultos y $3.000 niños. Cuenta con baños limpios en su acceso. (Translated by Google) Very beautiful tour, although you must cancel your income $5,000 adults and $3,000 children. It has clean bathrooms at its access.

Sin duda de las mejores experiencias en la carretera austral, si pueden pagar el tour guiado para caminar el el glaciar no duden en hacerlo. Es una experiencia inolvidable y enriquecedora poder caminar por el glaciar, es seguro y si tienen suerte pueden encontrar cuevas de hielo que son asombrosas, está lleno de formaciones de hielo que vuelan la mente. (Translated by Google) Undoubtedly one of the best experiences on the southern highway, if you can afford the guided tour to walk the glacier, do not hesitate to do so. It is an unforgettable and enriching experience to be able to walk on the glacier, it is safe and if you are lucky you can find ice caves that are amazing, it is full of mind blowing ice formations.

Not really worth the effort in time and money. Not much prior disclosure that the lower part of the glacier is gone. Enjoy the rubble field. Chances of seeing the mountains are very remote.

Maravilloso lugar, no pudimos acceder por el sector de conaf pero 200 mts más adelante hay un sendero particular del cual sé ve excelente subiendo a un mirador por cerca de 30 minutos como máximo. Se ve increíble. Camino al Glaciar se puede apreciar un glaciar colgante a mitad de camino, una maravilla sin nombre. (Translated by Google) Wonderful place, we could not access through the CONAF sector, but 200 meters further on there is a particular path that I know looks excellent, going up to a viewpoint for about 30 minutes maximum. It looks incredible. On the way to the Glacier you can see a hanging glacier halfway, a wonder without a name.

such a beautiful glacier

An amazing experience to a magnificent destination hiking over the glacier and through glacial caves. Our tour guides were excellent allowing us to fully experience the glacier and ice caves.

Linda vista do glaciar.

Nice view over the glaciar (not as beautiful as the perito moreno or laguna san rafael) The mountains above must be really impressive but I was cloudy.

Incredible place, if you are lucky you can see Monte San Valentín te highest mountain of Patagonia

Worth the hike

Great view

What a place! Be careful of strong winds! They can knock you over. If you have time to hike to the top, make sure to do so because you do not want to miss this! And make sure to wear proper hiking boots! There was a bit of a scramble with some snow.

I write this review relatively to other similar hikes. The good: very nice view at the end, similar to Fitzroy, Cerro Torre, Torres Del Paine, etc. Cold shower which you can use. The bad: 1. Boring hike, one view in your back that never changes and only up, up and up. It is also the same way back... 2. Way too expensive. It costs around 25 usd per person now, completely ridiculous in my opinion. 3. Hard steep unpaved road to cover with your car (4x4 or high car necessary) before getting to the main parking lot. You can leave your car before, but that means you have to cover more distance on foot. 2.5 - 3 stars relative to other hikes. The view at the end is still very nice, but it is not a fun hike. If you will do the other hikes mentioned above and you are not really into hiking up 1000 meters, skip this one. The area is still nice to drive through!

This was by far my favorite trek I did in Chile. I was lucky enough to have perfect weather the whole time, and I know that greatly contributed to my experience. The park had great amenities and the trails are well marked. The overall difficulty of this hike would be a 3:5 and I would definitely go out of your way to do this!!

Beautiful but ridiculously expensive. -$30 Aud just to go for a walk? Tell ‘Em they’re dreamin

A hike that will surprise and delight. It is rated with a medium difficulty - and over the whole course - that is correct. Some sections required more energy and attention. From cows in the forest to above the tree-line scree - the path was varied. The payoff with glaciers and a lake was incredible. Vistas were amazing. About 7,200 vertical feet (up and down) over the 13KM trail.

Nice landscape and really beautiful mountain, but staying up there for just one night costs 23000 clp! That’s roughly 30 euros per person (and therefore more expensive than Torres del Paine) and they don’t even have warm water or a toilet up there.

Expensive and inaccessible, you basically have to hitchhike from town to the entrance, which is a bit ridiculous. But I can't take stars away from the views on the hike. I think they could put more of the expensive entry fee towards accessibility though.
