Breathe in the fresh mountain air of Cajon del Maipo on a guided tour from Santiago. Learn about the folklore of this volcanic area and enjoy a light picnic with wine at El Yeso Dam.

During the trip, admire the wonderful views of this natural landscape filled with high mountain passes, lakes and forests. Hear about the region's traditions and listen to folk tales told by your guide.

Along the way, you'll pass Túnel Tinoco, a dark, abandoned railway tunnel that runs along the Camino Al Volcán, a remnant of the region's railway days.

Not far from here, you will reach El Yeso Dam. This large reservoir was created in 1964 by damming the Yeso River and today serves as one of Santiago's main water sources. Stop here to enjoy a picnic lunch served with a glass of wine and some juice.

Great tour, quick stops, beautiful places, attentive guide, they were super punctual (they let you know when they were on the way to the hotel). The only point to be considered is the stop at the deactivated railway, I didn't find it attractive and it was too cold to cross the entire length on foot. Other than that, the tour was incredible. I highly recommend it.

The tour we took with Dina was to Portilho and it was incredible, she was always very helpful and attentive to everyone, taking photos, explanations, answering questions, giving local directions. In addition to the entertainment that was your van, lots of laughs guaranteed! My fiancé and I loved it!!! At the end, my fiancé and I wanted something specific and she took us to the store!!! We highly recommend taking a trip with her!!! Much success to you Dina!!!

A very cool tour, top and patient team. I enjoyed visiting the spa pools, they gave me a good cleansing of the soul. Having wine in the late afternoon was also great.

From the day before the tour I felt extremely safe at the agency, as they sent a message on WhatsApp confirming and also informing the approximate time they would be at the hotel to pick us up. They were extremely punctual!
The guide Alexis was the highlight, as in addition to practically speaking Portuguese, he knew a lot about Brazil, he gave us a lot of information about the places, about Chile, about how we should handle the altitude to avoid getting sick, he answered all our questions with a lot of education and good humor. At the end, there was a picnic with lots of quality products! I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone!
The tour is TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

The tour was Embalse el Yeso with the Hot Springs, and it was incredible! The guide was super punctual, a cool group, beautiful places. Very cold even in autumn, when you get to the top of the Cordilleras, but it's worth it!
