One road in and out. You can potentially drive through the park gate, but my experience has told me that Chilean National Parks are more likely to be closed than open to the public and if they are have restrictions that would make jumping hard to impossible. The gate is here: -33.8072428, -70.0161327

Alternatively, you can sneak in via a trail that requires two river crossings that in Jan-2024 could only be crossed in the pre-sun mornings. That approach is below, and the parking is here: -33.8149627, -70.0081695

The bulk of the route is listed on FatMap and is more or less self-explanatory. Two potentially hazardous stream/river crossings that in Jan-2024 could only be crossed in the very early morning.

Route starts here: -33.81408, -70.01010 River crossing 1: -33.79813, -70.00627 River crossing 2: -33.79254, -70.00975 You can aim for the exit pin on the ridge and scramble around here: -33.77624, -70.00227
