What you can expect

The Hermit’s Side: San Cristóbal Unseen – Hidden Trail & Sunset Trek

Discover a non-traditional side of Santiago that feels nothing like the city you expect. This route immerses you in landscapes and nature where it’s easy to forget you’re still in Santiago.

We begin at Cerro Blanco, passing through local areas before entering San Cristóbal Hill through a hidden access point. From there, enjoy a 2-hour hike along the secret Hermit’s Trail, surrounded by quiet, natural scenery far from the usual crowds.

Reach a little-known summit where you’ll see the Virgin statue from behind — a rare perspective. Along the way, explore unique spots like the ruins of the old Casino Cumbre and Kulczewsky’s mysterious “House of Spiders,” blending history, architecture, and urban legend.

This experience is all about the unexpected: a raw, authentic side of the city where Santiago transforms into pure landscape and nature.

We end at a hidden 360° viewpoint, perfectly timed for sunset, with breathtaking panoramic views over the city and the Andes.

Highlights:

A side of Santiago that feels like pure nature
Hidden entrance via Cerro Blanco
3-4 hour hike on the Hermit’s Trail

Casino Cumbre ruins & “House of Spiders”
Off-the-beaten-path experience
