Magnificent Condors

5.00Excellent tour with a very knowledgable guide who drove the windy roads up to the ski resort expertly. We saw lots of condors - a wonderful experience. The restaurant was very good with choices of full meals or soup/sandwiches. Super day out.

5.00Mauricio The whole day was wonderful. Mauricio our tour guide arrived 15 minutes early explained the whole day to us. He was an excellent driver and full of information on the Andes. He took us up to the ski resort at 3025m to see the Condors. We couldn’t believe our look they put on a show the whole time we stayed at least 12 of the gliding above our heads. He did not rush we had a drink and some lunch just sat watching them. After we went to the artisan village in Santiago some lovely craft shops. I would definitely recommend this tour 100%.
Exceeded expectations

5.00This tour goes almost due east of Santiago at a huge ski resort used for Olympic training for athletes all over the world. We saw six condors at the first site and four at the next. The two of us were the only ones on the tour. The artisan center had some of the best jewelry shopping in Chile. We would do it again. The ski resort itself was shut down a few days for ski season, but we were able to get hot tea. Hold out for the restaurant in the artisan center but it was a late lunch
Loved the entire day! Condors Condors Condors

5.00We were a small group of 4 plus Mauricio. He was very accommodating and allowed us to decide when we had sen enough. We were happy when we saw 2 condors soaring and couldn’t believe that by the time we left we had seen 10. The road was an unexpected bonus with all the Sunday bikers sharing the road.
Great experience and service.

5.00We really enjoyed our experience with Mauricio. We went to find Condors and we did. They were soaring all around us. Mauricio was an excellent driver. The artisans village was also worth a visit. Thanks for a great day.
Spirits soaring with the condors

5.00We were absolutely delighted with the expedition to see condors. We must have seen a dozen altogether and could watch them soar high overhead. Some got very close (5 m) and one soared overhead so close we could hear the wind turbulence from its wings! Mauricio was our guide for the day - a delightful man (fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English). The artisan village at the end of the tour was very nice. Great selection of locally made artisan products and prices seemed very reasonable.
A super day with Mauricio - couldn’t be happier with our choice of his tour!!

5.00The tour was excellent as was our driver/guide, Mauricio, who owns the company! We stopped at a couple of places along the way to our final destination and enjoyed the entire day. Lunch at the ski area was delicious, and what’s not to love about 17+ Andean condors flying around overhead as we ate!! Mauricio is a wealth of knowledge about the Santiago area, and we’d definitely recommend the tour with him.
Great View of the Condors

5.00Our group was able to see the condors up close (they were flying from the top of the building, we were stood at the base), which was exactly what I was hoping for. The guide was friendly and accommodating.
