Fodor's Expert Review Jardín Botánico Mapulemu

Gravel paths lead you to restful nooks in the Mapulemu Botanical Garden, dedicated to more than 70 native Chilean species. Every path and stairway seems to bring you to better views of Santiago and the Andes. On weekends, the Instituto Nacional de Deportes conducts classes starting at 9:30 am. These free municipality-run seminars may include yoga, Zumba, aerobics, aeroboxing, or bicicleta estática, a spinning-like activity. There are also paid yoga classes on Sundays from 10 to noon. The easiest access is from the Pedro de Valdivia side.
