Hello-Chile

Only about twenty minutes from the city center of Concepción is the Reserva Nonguén. There are many paths, so visitors can go trecking, hiking and even mountain biking there and the species are almost all endemic, from the impressive Arrayán, a beautiful hardwood tree, the pudú , the dwarf deer, to the Darwin toad.  You get there by car passing by the Concepción zoo, heading further on towards the reserve. If you need a car for rent, just write us a mail or click HERE.

Before getting there, you need a permit from CONAF which is free.

The Andes are now covered by snow and all skiing ressorts are open. HelloChile visited the Nevados de Chillán snowboard and skiing ressort on a chilly Friday – and got useful information:

1.) 1 – day ticket price: CLP 30.000.-  (Friday offer: Get two tickets for the price of one) – Find more information HERE!

2.) 1/2 ticket available as of 12:45 – price: CLP 20.000.-

3.) Around 50% of the lifts open, could become overcrowded on weekends. Only one chair lift available for bringing you to the upper (and most beautiful) slopes.

4.) Ski rental open in the ressort, but pricy. Rent your skis in Las Trancas, about 5 km before getting to the skiing ressort.

5.) Bring warm clothes, it can get very chilly – take care in the shadow areas, the slopes might become icy!

6.) Slopes of all difficulties open, but The Las Tres Marias slope, Chile´s longest one,  closed.

7.) Snow mobile rental and cat skiing available on demand.

8.) The road to the Andes might sometimes be icy,  a jeep or 4WD pick- up with chains is recommended. Rent a car, jeep or pick-up HERE!
