Wonderful! I recommend! No words to describe the power of nature! Being in the midst of the Andes was a unique experience in life! Our guide Andrei was excellent, he had knowledge of history, geology, botany and the animals of that habitat. It was a complete experience in a place full of snow (any Brazilian is stunning) and unique beauties, surrounded by mountains. We get a snack when we get to the mountains, rackets and sticks to walk in the snow. On the return, we were surprised by a special picnic, with delicacies and wine! Perfect day!!! Before the trail AndoAndes was also very attentive, always took my doubts.

Absolutely incredible day out with Andres and Gonzalo and the other 5 participants. The experience was magical. Nobody else there apart from us. The most amazing scenery. Used snow shoes for the first time. Loved every minute. Cannot recommend this tour company enough. When we got back down from the walk there was a gorgeous table set up with wine, cheese, meats, fruits, crackers etc. The perfect end to the perfect day.

My adult son and I had an amazing time on this tour- a mother and son time to reconnect. Our guides could not have been more interesting in talking about the formations we encountered and caretaking of the group. I am a senior in pretty good shape but not an athlete, and found the altitude and rocky terrain a little challenging- at first-but not the distance- and this was a highlight of my longer vacation trip! Raimundo was communicative and answered all my individual questions prior to the event and sent preparation reminders the day before. The van arrived exactly on time and the group was companionable. I would highly recommend this (as long as no knee problems) and I would do it again! Beautiful day hiking in the Andes.

I had a fantastic experience on this day hike near a volcano in El Cajón del Maipo! The trail was the perfect balance of refreshing and challenging, making for a great workout surrounded by stunning natural scenery. Laura and Lorena (guides) were incredible guides — super attentive, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy, which made the whole day even more special. What made this tour enjoyable was the fun, international group. We all mingled effortlessly, sharing stories and laughs along the way. To top it off, we ended the day eating local fruits and wine surrounded by breathtaking views — a perfect finale. If you're short on time but still want a taste of Chile’s nature, this is the ideal tour. I highly recommend it!

This hike was the best part of our vacation. We had a beautiful 4-5 hour hike where we saw many different viewpoints of the Andes. With each viewpoint we saw different colors from the mountains. We are in the valley for the majority of the time so the hike wasn’t too demanding.

Highly recommended!!. The organization was very good, they gave solutions to my requests (it is better to communicate with them by whatsapp as it is faster). The day of the excursion everything was perfect, I felt safe with them and me and my brother had an incredible time. The scenery is stunning. Please note, this experience is NOT for people with heart, respiratory or musculoskeletal conditions, and if you are sedentary, you may not feel well. Otherwise... you must do it!
