Plantilla:Tupungato access

In vehicle

From Santiago, go towards Cajón del Maipo on Route G-25. From the Vizcachas junction (Camilo Henríquez Avenue and Eyzaguirre Avenue), there are 17.2 kilometers until you cross the road that goes up the Colorado River (to Maitenes and Alfalfal), at which point you should turn left, a few meters after cross the Colorado River.

From this point, there are 23.2 kilometers until the end of the road, where there is the barrier of the Alfalfal Power Plant, owned by AES Gener. Up to this point, the whole road is paved. Here the permit must be shown (see respective section)

Then, follow the gravel road in good condition. Follow the main road for approximately 25 kilometers, where there is a fork that leads to the La Perla mine on the left. Continue through the option on the right and after a small section there is a detour to the right signposted Estero Chacayes, which is necessary to take. The road passes through a hamlet and then twists to continue entering the valley. Just before the road begins to descend towards an intake, it is possible to see a marked path that starts from the right side of the road, where you can leave the vehicle (Chacayar - 2,130 meters). .
