Location

Mapuyampay is located 200 kilometers south from Santiago de Chile, near Curicó, provincial capital and main entrance for tourism in Chile, also known as “Cordillera Maule Norte” (North Maule Range).

Its mild Mediterranean climate presents very noticeable seasons during the year. At 2,0000 meters, Curicó presents a mild altitude climate during the year. Above this height, the mountain landscape fills itself with snow, turning into an ideal zone for winter tourism activities.
