Plantilla:Epoca y acceso Chicauma

Appropriate time

All year. Ideal at the end of May and the beginning of June, when the oak is red. Avoid the hottest months of the year, between the beginning of December and March.

Access

In vehicle

A Lampa can be accessed by Route 5 North (Autopista Central) or Vespucio Norte. The second is recommended.

Going through Vespucio Norte towards the West, 4.9 kilometers after the junction with Autopista Central, turn right and take the Camino Lo Echevers. Put the mileage to zero at this point.

Advance to the town of Lampa, where the road we come will be transformed into Avenida Barros Luco. Advance until it ends, and turn left into Miraflores. A little further on, you will reach a diamond point: take the right and follow Manuel Montt, until Antonio Varas, where you should turn left. After one block, you get to Avenida Isabel Riquelme. Turn right and go 8,4 kilometers for this new road, until a blue gate to the left of the road, where there is space to park. A few meters behind this gate, there is a large white metal structure, tubular in shape, which forms the skeleton of what was to be a cable car station.

It's 26.6 kilometers since Vespucio Norte was left.

In public transport and hitchhiking

From the Vespucio Norte metro station, at the terminus of line 2, there are buses to Lampa. See detalles. From Lampa, there are good chances of hitchhiking to the point of departure, it is a road with a lot of traffic.
