Instrucciones para llegar a Pichiquillaipe en automóvil:Llega a la plaza de Puerto Montt y sigue por la costanera hacia Pelluco o Caleta La Arena. La carretera Austral parte en la Plaza de Puerto Montt. Después de Pelluco vienen varios pueblos (Coihuín, Chamiza y Piedra Azul). Casi al llegar al km 18 está Pichiquillaipe, que no es un pueblo, sino un sector. Alli, hacia la izquierda, hay un letrero que dice Chocolatería Los Ulmos de Quillaipe. Toma ese camino. Después de unos 500 m el camino se bifurca; toma hacia la derecha. Unos doscientos metros más allá está el portón del Parque Katalapi. Si te pierdes, pregunta por la casa de Don Ricardo Hernández, quien es el cuidador del parque. A él lo conocen todos. Si necesitas transporte especial, comunícate con Luis Corcuera
