All year round, really. However, the place is especially beautiful in May when the leaves of the southern beech trees have turned dark orange and red. However, it could be a little bit rainier around then
== Getting there =====By car===Exit the Panamerican Highway (Ruta 5 Sur) to the East, via the town of Molina, then follow the K-175, followed by the unpaved K-275 until you reach the small village of Radal, which is situated 72 km to the southeast of Molina, and serves as the gateway to the national park. You then have to keep following the same road uphill for around another 10 km in order to get the CONAF park rangers' office in {{Access Parque Inglés In order to get to the village of Radal and the national park from Talca, you have to leave the city to the East, passing through the settlements of Lo Beño and La Placeta on the way. The first 30 km of this route are paved. The remaining 40 km consist of travelling along a decent-quality gravel road. The road does get narrow in certain spots but it has passing places, which you might have to pull into, from time to time, in order to allow oncoming traffic to go past == By public transport and hitchhiking ==From Santiago, the only bus company that goes directly to Molina is PULLMAN DEL SUR. These buses leave from the "Terminal Alameda"/"Terminal de Santiago" complex , which is located next to the "Universidad de Santiago" Metro station. It isn't possible to buy a return ticket from a Santiago but the price of a one-way ticket should cost CLP $4,000-$5,000  During the peak season -- largely defined in this case as from Christmas time to the end of February -- buses go all the way to Parque Inglés from Molina. These local buses leave from the bus terminal, which is located about half a block away from Molina's main square (Plaza de Armas). If you have any enquiries about the buses then e-mail "Buses Hernandez" buseshernandez@gmail.com. Address: Calle Maipú 1735, Molina. Bear in mind that, for about nine and a half months of the year, these buses only go up as far as the village of Radal, which lies just before the protected area begins. A second option is "Buses Radal Siete Tazas", whose buses GENERALLY only run during the months of January and February, and on long public holiday weekends in December. Both companies have Facebook pages (in Spanish), where they publish their bus timetables  If you miss your bus, and are short of time, you can hitchhike from Valdesina, which is a small settlement that is situated on the road between Molina and Radal. You can take one of the "Aquelarre" minibuses to Valdesina, which leave RELATIVELY frequently from Curicó, and pass through Molina's bus terminal on the way. It's just a case of riding the minibus as far as it will take you, and getting off before it turns around and goes back the other way. Bear in mind that, if you are visiting the national park outside of the peak tourist season, you will at least have to hitchhike from Radal village because, as just mentioned previously, the buses don't go beyond there outside of the busiest tourist periods.Ingles}}
== Description of the route ==
* It's harder to access the trail during the winter months because it can snow a lot along the route
* If you choose to camp in Parque Inglés during the peak summer period, then make sure you keep an eye on your possessions. Opportunistic theft is certainly not unheard of around there during the busy tourist season.
