Why we love Mallin Colorado
For many years, this region of Chile was where Chileans came to escape to the great outdoors, it was hardly known by anyone else. The founders of Mallin Colorado knew it had huge potential and their longevity and experience in the region is what makes this place so special. You will be in one of the least visited corners of the country, but among some of the best scenery with incredible guides (and that’s a big statement in Chile!).
