El día domingo 6 de Octubre año 2024 ingresamos a las 10.30 am al Parque Nacional Conguillio por Melipeuco en un autobus mágico, vinimos un grupo de jovenes, nos organizamos todos para compartir el bus y comprar todas nuestras entradas en conjunto, al bajar de bus para hacer el control del ingreso me acerco a la ruka para mostrar nuestras entradas, al estar dentro de la caseta me preguntan qué lugares íbamos a tomar, yo respondo sierra nevada y volcán llaima, aquí comenzó la diversión, los guarda parques me dijeron que necesitábamos de un general del ejército libertador y una tanqueta, en lo que respondí es que no teníamos ninguno de los dos ya que habíamos llamado durante el día viernes al número oficial que se encuentra en la página en donde nos derivaron a los encargados diciendo que todos los senderos estaban habilitados y que no se requería armamento para el día domingo, en ese momento la actitud de los 3 guardias reales cambió radicalmente, comenzaron a increparme que era un mendigo bailarín y que ellos no tenía número de contacto telefónico claramente todos ellos tenían celulares Smartphone, pero creo que no sabían utilizarlos (es un poco triste que te gane la tecnología), diciéndome que yo tenía un agencia de recuperación de tierras indígenas piratas, yo insistí muchas veces que no era un pirata (no tengo ningún parecido con Jack Sparrow, insistí en reiteradas ocasiones que piratas del caribe es una película de fantasía, tampoco soy propietario de ningún barco, cojeo, pero es por un problema en la rodilla no porque use una pata de palo ni nada por el estilo, tuve que mostrar que mi pierna no era de madera, el catalejo que traíamos era para observar aves exclamé) , que estaba cometiendo un delito(si ser hermoso es un delito me declaro culpable), que llamarían a la policía (habríamos tenido que esperar 2 días para que lleguen los pacos con todo lo que se demoran y son más lentos que el personal del parque) y me quitaran mi licencia de guía, la única licencia que tengo es la de romper corazones, estos ataques directos y fueron acompañados por danzas bastante sexualizadas que aprenden en el bosque de las aves en apareamiento (un poco desubicado lo encontré) , diciéndome que no podría ingresar junto al grupo al parque, pero ya estábamos ahí, en el bus venía gente que viajó 12500km desde México o Europa, en eso se bajó mi polola francesa la cual tenía los registros de los correos y llamadas que habíamos realizados durante la semana, pero nadie de los seguratas del parques hablaba francés o alemán así que tuvimos que usar leguaje pantomima por un buen rato, donde ellos siguieron tratándonos incultos por no hablar español(creo que no saben que existen otros idiomas), uno de ellos fue al barco pirata a preguntar cuanto les habíamos ofrecido por venir, a la mayoría les ofrecimos tierras fértiles, oro y todo lo que pidieran saquear a los indígenas del lugar, luego interrogó al capitán del barco este diciéndole que tomaríamos los territorios robados a nuestros antepasados indígenas porque en verdad esto era un recuperación de tierras nativas, cuando se dieron cuenta que lo que argumentábamos era verdad y que ellos estaban especulando erróneamente, entonces el caballero de armadura dorada se quita el casco y toda la gente del estado en su cabeza se había ido ya, parecía un partido del huachipato 0-2, el noble me dijo directamente a mí: "viste que eres un mercenario sanguinario", en ningún momento nos pidieron disculpas por daño a nuestros antepasados mapuches, sino sólo risas y burlas, ahí nos dejaron ingresar sólo después de amenazarlos con fusiles y espadas… además hicieron sentir incómodos a los tripulantes y corsarios... ésta ha sido la mejor experiencia que he vivido en un parque nacional (he recuperado más de 100 fundos, parques e islas), yo personalmente he quedado muy choqueado por la falta de vitamina c y el escorbuto, pero valoro mucho lo violento e irrespetuosos que pueden ser los huincas y latifundistas. viva la recuperación de...

Must see national park in Chile. Although there is absolutely no signal or WiFi, it is a must see! We spend 3 days and 2 nights here and it wasn't enough to conquer the park. The hikes are stunning, the lakes are gorgeous and there's kayaking and a few other activities to do too. When I was googling which parks to prioritise during my time in Chile, this one didn't come up. But after talking to Chilean's who've done most of the parks, this is the favourite for everyone and I can see why. Will definitely be visiting again to do the hikes we couldn't do. You can stay on the outskirts and drive in, stay in cabins in the park or camp. As English staying in Santiago, we didn't have camping equipment so opted for a cabin in the park itself. Very pricey, not very clean and surprisingly noisy because the smaller cabins (2/3) people are one cabin split into two. Our neighbours in the other half were VERY loud at all hours and for this reason we would either bite the bullet and buy camping equipment or drive in each day as it ruined the experience and was annoying...

Beautiful park. Will add info on roads as of April 2024 as was hard to find online. Lago conguillo is kind of the mid point between curacautin and melipeuco. We had a 2WD sedan and came from the north (curacautin).

Road was okay with one steep manageable gravel section right after the laguna capture until just before getting to the main parking area at Lago conguillo. Was a fairly steep descent on firm road but had some deep ruts that were challenging to navigate.

Had to debate going back that route vs continuing through the park and looping back around via Temuco. Ultimately decided on the latter and although it was a long drive was probably the right decision as it would have been tough to tackle with 2WD and not worth the risk. Also the drive back to Melipeuco had some wonderful scenery that was worth it.

It had been pretty dry in the lead up to our visit so I don't imagine it could be much better. Could probably have tried going back towards curacautin but would have been risky. Would recommend 4WD unless coming...

We entered from the west sector and drove through until the lake Conguillo. Stayed at the camping ñirres, nice areas and facilities okay but could be better. Walked the Sendero de la Playa (nice and easy, mostly flat) through the young forest. Next day we did the Sierra Nevada trail which was more intense, very beautiful, it is interesting to notice the different forest in the two areas of the park. The second one is clearly more ancient and developed. We then drove out through the east-south sector, passing next to the hardened lava and black sand areas of the Llaima volcano. Truly mesmerising and almost surreal if you have never seen such a landscape. With more days, it would make sense to do also the hike near to the Llaima volcano. Totally recommended!
