Safety and Judgement

A good journey begins before you set out

The mountain needs no grand plans, but it does call for attentiveness. Planning ahead, respecting the rules, and reading the environment make the experience safer, simpler, and more memorable.

🧭

Plan Well

Make your route known, calculate times, check the weather, and carry a map or GPS — even if you already know the area.

  • Provide your estimated schedule.
  • Check conditions before heading out.
  • Carry a first aid kit and enough battery power.
🥾

Move with Good Judgment

Use only designated trails, respect schedules, and avoid following informal tracks or animal paths.

  • Stay on marked routes.
  • Respect closures and signs.
  • Share the space with other visitors and remember that this place is also the home of all the local flora and fauna.
🎒

Proper Equipment

Your clothing and backpack should match the terrain, the duration, the weather, and the season.

  • Layered clothing and a reasonable pack weight.
  • Water, sun protection, and sunglasses.
  • Footwear suited to the terrain.

Park Rules

Register when required, cook and camp only in designated areas, and always follow CONAF instructions.

  • Do not light fires outside authorized zones.
  • Respect park rangers and signs.
  • Report risky conditions or behavior.
Winter Conditions

When snow appears, it changes the way you walk

In winter, the landscape can be extraordinary, but it also demands more of you. Waterproof clothing, layered gear, careful calculation of daylight hours, and the right equipment stop being details — they become part of your safety.

Caring for the Place is also part of the journey.

This environment is not a decorative backdrop: it is a living, fragile ecosystem. Respecting trails, not feeding wildlife, avoiding waste, and reducing impact ensures the experience remains possible for those who come after.
