We walk at a slow but steady pace, with a view of Santiago at all times. After 3 to 4 hours of walking, we arrive at the antenna sector, which is at 2,290 meters above sea level. From here, you can see the summit and the exposed rock ridge that we have to cross. In this rocky area, you have to climb up and down, but without major difficulties. In any case, the guide carries a rope in his backpack and will provide you with a harness if you need to secure your steps or rappel.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In total, it takes between 4 and 6 hours to reach the summit.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p> Once at the summit, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Santiago and the summit of Cerro San Ram\u00f3n directly in front of you.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We will descend through the Quebrada de Macul park, where we can stock up on water and where the descent is just a walk.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The descent takes 3 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You will be at your accommodation between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->"}],"faqs":[],"is_featured":false,"featured_image":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/1994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trip"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/1994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2701,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/1994\/revisions\/2701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destination?post=1994"},{"taxonomy":"activities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activities?post=1994"},{"taxonomy":"trip_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip_types?post=1994"},{"taxonomy":"difficulty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/difficulty?post=1994"},{"taxonomy":"trip_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urkuexpediciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip_tag?post=1994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
