Bicentenario Park
Watch out for the sun, especially in the afternoon! I got sunburned because I thought standing under trees was enough shade. Bring sunscreen for sure!
Definitely pack a snack or a picnic! The food options inside are a bit pricey, and having a nice meal while overlooking the lake is just perfect!
I suggest taking the time to stroll along the edges of the lagoons. You might spot some birds and it’s a nice way to enjoy nature without feeling rushed.
Metropolitan Park
When you're at the top, take a few minutes to just sit and enjoy the scenery. I rushed around taking pics and kinda missed soaking in the moment. Just relax for a bit!
Don't forget to bring water and some snacks! There are spots to chill, and having some snacks can make your visit much more enjoyable, especially if you’re there for several hours
I suggest grabbing food from local vendors instead of the park's cafes. You'll save money, and the street food is surprisingly delicious. Just watch out for spicy stuff if you're not used to it.
Torres del Paine National Park
Pack lunch and snacks instead of relying on park services. Food inside the park is pricey, and having your own keeps you fueled on the go without breaking the bank.
start your hikes early, around 7 am. the trails are less crowded, and you can enjoy the sunrise over the mountains—totally breathtaking! i wish i’d gotten moving sooner.
Take time to explore the visitor center first. It has awesome maps, info on trails, and lot of tips from rangers. I skipped this and missed some cool hidden spots.
Milodon Cave
My advice is to pack a snack and some water. There are lovely picnic spots around the park and you might want to take your time enjoying the view instead of rushing out for a meal.
Radal Siete Thasas National Park
Bring cash! The entry fee is not expensive, but credit cards aren’t accepted at all spots, and you don’t wanna get caught out.
Queulat National Park
Keulat National Park
Pack your own food! The park has some spots for lunch, but prices can be steep. I had a picnic by the river that was way more enjoyable than the overpriced sandwiches in the area.
Bring cash! Not all places, including local vendors, accept cards. I ended up scrambling around for an ATM just to grab some snacks. Better safe than sorry!
Plaza de Armas Arturo Prat
My advice is to bring a picnic with you. There are some lovely benches and green spaces to chill out. You can enjoy the view while saving money instead of eating at nearby cafes, which can get pricey.
Vicente Perez Rosales National Park
I recommend starting your day at the park around 8 AM. It gets super crowded later, and you’ll beat the rush, plus the morning light is amazing for photos.
When hiking, look for the lesser-known trails. I stumbled upon a hidden waterfall that wasn’t on the maps, and it was one of my fave moments.
French Valley Viewpoint
I think you should wear layers. The weather can change quick, and when I went it got chilly, but I was glad I had an extra jacket.
My advice is to bring your own lunch and snacks. There’s no food around, and the views make your break unforgettable. I spent too much on snacks at the cafe!
