Cochamó Valley

A paradise for climbing and adventure

In the Cochamó Valley you will find imposing granite walls that rise abruptly above the dense Valdivian forest. This landscape of glacial origin attracts hikers and climbers from all over the world, who seek to challenge vertical walls of up to a thousand meters high in an environment of pristine nature.

The La Junta sector acts as the heart of the valley and base camp, consolidating itself as the epicenter of big wall climbing in Chile. This natural amphitheater allows access to world-class routes, slide down the famous rock "Slides" or ascend towards the Arcoíris Waterfall.
