The experience we had in the maipo was spectacular, overly beautiful landscapes, nature and everything that comes with the trip, all that was possible because the guide Alejandro did his best to make this tour unforgettable, an excellent guide, charismatic, with a fabulous knowledge of the place and with a formidable way of explaining the history and how it was all. It was the best guide we had and with the best explanation of all ❣️

Jesus was our guide and was excellent: super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Throughout the tour he was telling us and explaining each place with interesting data that made the trip much more enriching. On the route there was an accident that left us in detention for approximately 2 or 3 hours, but we want to highlight Jesus’ great ability to resolve contingencies with professionalism, calm and charisma. He managed the situation in the best way, keeping us informed and making the wait much more bearable. We also want to highlight driver Rocio, a total genius. He handled impeccably throughout the tour, always with a lot of responsibility and safety. One detail to keep in mind is that the tour was given in Portuguese, since most of the passengers were Brazilians. However, before starting the trip we consulted for the language and the truth is that everything was quite well understood. The toast was a very special moment: it included snacks and fruits, and it was beautiful to enjoy it with the whole landscape around while sharing a glass of Carmenere. A perfect closure for an unforgettable experience. Super recommended. We would choose them again without hesitation!✨

The tour to the Embalse del Yeso was wonderful from beginning to end. The driver Sebastian and the guide Denisse were super attentive and careful with us and the others! Denisse explained in detail about the history of Cajon del Maipo and other tourist sights that we passed, it was a memorable day and a lot of knowledge. We will definitely be back!
