The South Plaza is destined to become a natural space, where lovers of outdoor life will have formal and controlled access to the mountain range, so that they can safely carry out sustainable, sports, educational, cultural and recreational activities.
From this Park, there is the possibility of connecting with the trails of the Aguas de Ramón and San Carlos de Apoquindo Natural Park.
