4 Days in middle autumn in the hidden gem (Las Trancas)

Four days in Las Trancas felt like pedaling through a dream carved by fire and forest.
We hit the Bike Park for three straight days—big berms, fast lines, and lift-accessed adrenaline at the foot of Volcán Chillán.
On day four, we shifted gears: full enduro mode through native woods, techy climbs, and lava-rock descents.
Every ride ended with a unique adventure—one day soaking near fumarolas, another exploring the mythical Garganta del Diablo, and finishing with a golden-hour session at El Candado.
The terrain is raw and untamed, perfect for riders chasing flow and challenge in equal parts.
The views? Endless valleys, snowy peaks, and the occasional puff of smoke from the volcano in the distance.
Evenings brought mountain air, rustic cabins, and legs sore from riding—but hearts full.
There’s something primal about this place—part wilderness, part playground.
The trails aren’t crowded, the stoke is high, and the energy is pure Andes.
If you're looking for a ride that ends in hot springs, legends, and jaw-dropping sunsets—Las Trancas delivers.
