Embark on an interpretive walk that merges the rich biodiversity of the Mantagua Wetland with the immensity of the main dune field in central Chile. This low-intensity trek will allow you to discover contrasting landscapes and unique points of interest on the central coast.
Activity Details:

Total Distance: Approximately 12 km
Estimated Duration: 6 to 8 hours

Difficulty: Low, suitable for most travelers with a good physical condition.
Terrain: Mixed (dirt trails, loose sand, coastline, train line).
Best Season: Year-round, although it is recommended to avoid days of extreme heat or bad weather.

Start in Mantagua, Transition to the Dune Field, Coastline and Ritoque Beach.
As we advance north, the landscape changes dramatically, moving from dense vegetation to the imposing sand dunes. Here we will walk through the southern dune field, the most extensive in the area. The panoramic views from the top of the dunes are ideal for photography.

Train Line: A unique section of the route includes walking along the train line, an uncommon sight that adds an interesting and picturesque element to the journey. Caution must be exercised in this area.

It's very important that you confirm your attendance at the activity so we can add you to the WhatsApp group we'll use to stay coordinated. We can also use this group to arrange carpooling, if needed. Protected content
