A cool wind from the coastal range cuts across the trail as the morning minivan leaves Santiago and climbs toward La Campana. By the time the group steps onto the well-worn path, the vegetation has already changed: scrub gives way to stands of the Chilean wine palm and low evergreen forest. The guide sets the pace; the palms seem to watch, their heavy fronds shifting like an audience.
