ITINERARY ]
The Rolling Hostel (‘Hotel
on Wheels’) is an unique experience that takes you to
one of Chile’s most beautiful and diverse forests. The
‘Altos del Lircay’ (located in the pre-Andean
Talca Province) is home to significant vegetation, typical
of Chile’s central Mediterranean region and the rainforests
of the South.
The 500 kilometre
journey, aboard the Rolling Hostel bus, allows you to really
get to know the park and enjoy few days in close proximity
to the nature with hikes and outdoor activities.

After the pick-up between 7:00 and
8:00 am at your hostel we head to the city of Talca where we
will stop to do some shopping and visit a vineyard, characteristic
for the region. From there we take a detour to a camping spot
in the Altos del Lircay National Reserve to enjoy dinner and
a rest in preparation for our walk the following day |

After the breakfast we collect our hiking equipment
and prepare for a full day’s walk through the non-evergreen
forests to our target destination ‘Enladrillado’
– the ‘brickwork’ high plateau and vantage
point for viewing ‘Descabezado’ – the ‘beheaded’
volcano.
Lunch is provided during the day and, after the long day’s
walk, we return to the Rolling Hostel to enjoy a BBQ around
the campfire. |
