Yerba Loca ranger's office and entrance

There's no public transportation to Villa Paulina, so the chances to go are:
1) PRIVATE CAR: Take avenida Las Condes, turn right at the YPF gas station and, on the Curva (bend) 15, is Villa Paulina.
2) TAXI: Take a bus to Plaza San Enrique (Nº 233 goes direct along Alameda) and there, a taxi to Villa Paulina. The set price is $ 8.800 (US$ 15) one way. The taxi can carry up to 4 people, but think of the space for your backpacks too.
3) HITCHING: It's easy in any season (both summer and winter); just get to the junction of Avenida las Condes and Farellones road (YPF gas station), walk some metres up the Farellones road and hitch a ride. Your "competition" (in winter) will be snowboarder kids and skiers, while in summer, only locals hitch. A sign with "curva 15" or "Villa Paulina" written on it, is useful.

Not everybody knows where the entrance to the park is, so be watchful of the ranger's office (right at the park's entrance), on the left side of the road (when you go up), after you enter the series of road bends.
