Danitza was a great...

5.00Danitza was a great guide. The soaking pools were amazing and on a Monday mid-day were nearly empty of people. Both guides offered good local knowledge and the lunch was delicious. We had a few issues on the trip and the guides managed through them with calm and poise leaving all of us feeling great about the experience.
Amazing views

5.001. Diego was an amazing guide! Super considerate and knowledgeable. I've never had a guide who had snacks waiting for me. Also, he was great about answering all of our questions and made sure the trip was whatever we wanted it to be. 2. Cajon del Maipo was absolutely beautiful. We got stunning pictures. 3. We loved the hot springs! The roads are totally treacherous to get there, so we were very happy we didn't try to rent our own car.
Genial adventures in Santiago

5.00We can not say enough good things about this tour. Our guide Maxi made the entire day extremely enjoyable. He is very clearly passionate about his job and did everything he could to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and happy throughout our experience. We were able to see the beautiful views the Andes offers, relax in the natural hot springs, and get loads of information from Maxi about the area and local people.
Full day perfect in Cajon del Maipo, I recommend 100%. Local guide. They exceeded my expectations.

5.00Amazing exit! We toured the Gypsum Reservoir with Francisco, guide of Explore the Andes. The guide was very cool and spoke perfect English. Everything was well organized: transport, snack, and the places we visited. We also went to Thermal Baths, a magical place. It is not a massive tour, but something more personalized and connected to the mountain. 100% recommended if you are looking for trekking or real nature in the Andes of Chile. I'm already thinking of doing El Plomo or a multi-day in Patagonia with them.
