Trekking Through Malalcahuello’s Cordilleran Trails
The excursion brought together student delegations from across several regional communes. Participants included students from Escuela Particular Quintrilpe in Vilcún, Escuela Raimapu de Quepe, and Escuela Esperanza de Radal—both located in Freire. Additionally, members of the table tennis workshop from Angol’s “Crecer en Movimiento” initiative took part under the “Del Juego al Deporte” component.
During the outing, participants completed trekking routes across the reserve’s trails. They navigated cordilleran landscapes while interacting with peers from different municipalities. The primary objective was expanding outdoor recreational access for children, incorporating physical exercise into a healthy lifestyle framework.
Institutional Backing and Regional Strategy
Mauricio Martínez accompanied the delegation during the Malalcahuello excursion. He emphasized the importance of driving athletic engagement through natural regional landmarks.
The event operated under the “Visitando Mis Parques” initiative, an arm of the broader “Crecer en Movimiento” framework managed by the Instituto Nacional de Deportes (IND). The program’s core mandate centers on bringing children and adolescents closer to the natural spaces of the region.
