Cerro La Campana
Cerro la Campana, the Bell mountain, is a mountain in La Campana National Park in central Chile. The Pacific and the mountain Aconcagua are visible from the summit on clear days. Due to the area's expanding human population, considerable deforestation occurred on the previously heavily wooded areas of this mountain from approximately 1900 AD onwards. One of the significant tree species extant on Cerro La Campana is the Chilean Wine Palm, ''Jubaea chilensis''; this endangered palm prehistorically had a much wider distribution. When the second survey voyage of HMS ''Beagle'' arrived at Valparaiso on 23 July 1834, Charles Darwin took residence ashore to explore the area. On 14 August he obtained horses and set off with a companion "on a geological excursion" to the base of the Andes. They reached the Hacienda de San Isidro, sited at the foot of ''Cerro La Campana'', and on the morning of 16 August after being given a guide and fresh horses they began their ascent. In his note ...
