Hiking in RN Cerro Castillo

by Trekki - last update: Sep 24, 2005

inside Cerro Castillo - the main mountain massif
Coyhaique, a little town in Chile's province Aisen (Aysen) is starting point for a lot of exciting hikes, for fishing, for kayaking and so much more of any kind of outdoor activities you can imagine.
We did a spectacular hike here, through the pristine landscape of Reserva Nacional Cerro Castillo.

As it seems that Coyhaique is not a popular spot here in VT, I have decided to describe the full trek in the "Things to do" tips.
Hopefully, it will encourage the hikers among you to visit this place one day - as for me it was a wonderful alternative to the constant overflowing National Parks of Patagonias' south.

 One of the best pages I have read on VT concerning the great outdoors. You've inspired me to get off my a$$ and go hiking. Now, unlike you, I must first overcome my battle with the bulge before doing anything.

 Outstanding hiking and brilliant page! It reminded me once more my hikings in far 70th and 80th around the Northern Caucasus. Yes, how often I thought "never in my life" and came back again. I'm delighted you overcame these 65km with 27kg on your back!

 Wonderful page Ingrid! I love the way you tell the story of your hike & the photos are stunning, especially of course that moonrise :)) Las Salamandras looks a great accommodation find - & how great to have spotted that deer :)
