Cambios

The route from the entrance of the park is well sign-posted and very easy to follow (you also get a map). It is also surprisingly crowded for a Chilean hiking trail. The lower sections are of quite interesting forest at a reasonable gradient. The higher sections get very unpleasant towards the top with a very steep eroded path. The view from the top is worth it though as on a clear day you can see a vast section of the Central Cordillera with Aconcagua a clear high point. The only real way back is via the same way but there is also an old mining road that you can also take.

The route is only a 14 km round trip but it packs in approximately 1400m of accent. It should take a fit, healthy person about 3-4 hours with roughly the same time to get down given its steepness.
