The place of the city that I like the most in Santiago, Chile, is Cajon del Maipo, this place is located in the commune of San José de Maipo
The Cajón
del Maipo is characterize mainly because it has the great Maipo River basin,
which is enclosed by hills, cliffs, and massifs. In this place we can find different
natural lagoons, mountains, and rivers. The natural beauty is unique due to its
mountainous formations, allowing visitors to practice different sports and
experience adventures, such as, Trekking to Waterfalls, Rafting, Picnic with
family and friends, besides, you can camp and see the beautiful starry sky
calmly and quietly, due to the fact that it is located far from the city center
and car transport, being a perfect place to meet and relax in the middle of the
forest.
The Cajon del Maipo is a very special place. I remember that 3 years ago I met with different friends and we do a beautiful Trekking, which has an approximate duration of 1:30 hrs. This Trekking is of med
¡Highly recommended to all of you!!
Unfortunately, The Cajon del Maipo is threatened by a hydroelectric project called “Alto Maipo” that is destroying, polluting, and diverting the natural course of the Rio Maipo. Even, this project is seriously threatening the provision of drinking water for the city of Santiago.
I hope that
we can continue to enjoy this beautiful place and that this project can be banned,
so that future generations can appreciate this beautiful corner within the Region
Metropolitana.


I love Cajón del Maipo, I visited a few times and I camped on some vacation. It’s a great place to visit.
ResponderBorrarI hope like you do, something happened and stops Alto Maipo.
Cajón del Maipo is a beautiful place, and it´s very close to Santiago! It´s a pity that their ecosystems are so threatened by anthropic pressure.
