Not far from Santiago, you can still find great tracts of land that have remained undeveloped. One of them is San Francisco de Los Andes, a private park covering 8,500 hectares just 100 km north of Santiago in the San Francisco Ravine amidst the foothills of the Andes.
The area that is now San Francisco de Los Andes Park was known to the Inca Empire and became a Jesuit center when the Spanish arrived. It remained the property of the religious group until its members were expelled in 1570. It was later sold to the British Crown and then passed into the hands of local families. In the early 19th century, the area witnessed the advance of the Liberating Army fighting for Chile's independence.
