- Gonzalo Seriche VegaSantiago, Chile25 contributionsPlease, take the long trip, it is about three hours of history, natural view, you can see condors and sheep. You will visit the Puerto Sanchez caverns, the old miner boat, and a hospital boat.
The visit start from the Puerto Sanchez to the Catedral de Marmol.Written 24 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s quite steep up and down and it can be with strong winds. But the view from the viewpoint is great. The way to the parque is long but the “ripio” wasn’t’t bad. The campgroung “El silencio” is really nice, basic equipment but you can have a hot shower. There are different walks from half an hour to hikings up to five days in the new parque (before there were three “reservas”, since last year there is just one national parquet going south to the “Lago Cochrane”. Bring your own food and drinks because there you won’t find anything.Written 29 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- like2travl2004Knysna, South Africa250 contributionsWe had booked a guide for this tour. Although we enjoyed his company we can compeltely recommend doing this tour from Chile Chico by yourself.
Teg gravel road is easy to drive (about 45 minutes), the total hike is 7.5 km long, very well marked and maintained (which used not to be the case until a year ago) and the hike is easy to moderate (600m altitude gain over the first 3.8 km, then down more steeply from the Valle Lunar, which you can also hike separately from the trail head (1.5 km with about 500m elevation).
The only thing to consider is that you won‘t be able to drive to the trailhead from the ticket booth (2.2km) unless you have a 4x4. So you will have to add that distance unless you can hitch a ride up with someone else.
A very nice hike, gorgeous scenery, easy to do alone!
On the same day you may consider to keep driving to Jeinimeni Lake and hike up to the viewpoint (30 min) for gorgeous vistas. You can also walk along he lake more but it is closed for cars from the toll booth.
All in all a lovely outing and about the only thing we found worthwhile doing in Chile Chico.Written 30 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ColdingsCopenhagen, Denmark587 contributionsOn the dramatic Road 7 linking the Carretera Austral with the Argentine border you come accross this strange looking and somewhat arrid view. There is a lookout point where you can stop and take photos but the displays are unreadable so it is unclear to what extent the lake/laguna is natural or the result of open put mining. Whether natural or man-made, the view leaves an impression and has some esthetique value.Written 19 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- terrylu2016Aguanga, CA124 contributionsPlaza del Viento is the place to go if you want views of Chile Chico. It is not the most exciting attraction, but does offer good views of the town and the lake on a sunny day.Written 28 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jwakamdAuckland Central, New Zealand50 contributionsIf you’re in Chile Chico with 15-20 mins to spare you might as well walk up the orange steps to get a bit of a view of the town and the lake. It’s just there and doesn’t take too long, but not exactly a point worthy of much noteWritten 20 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
