Parque Nacional Radal Siete Tazas

Following lonely planet recommendations, we headed in the direction of Parque Nacional Radal Siete Tazas, stopping at a campsite in Las peñas outside San Fernando called Mi Capullito de Rosa that had access to a river for an evening swim.

The next day we arrived to the CONAF national park and had our first experience with the online registration process which was difficult to complete as we had minimal internet connection on our phones.

We stayed at the CONAF run campsite Parque Ingles for two nights which had access to Playa las hippies, a pretty river beach and swimming hole. It was mainly Chileans on holiday here and it was nice to see extended families listening to Chilean music and playing bingo while cooking with big stewing pots.

We had lovely sunny weather and completed the El boson sendero, a 24km return trial that brought us up to some mountain waterfalls that had the clearest water to swim in and cool us down after the hike.

Recommendations:
Register with CONAF online before arriving
Option to also camp at El boson but needs to be booked online in advance
Swim at playa las hippies
