Perfect morning hike....

5.00Perfect morning hike. Matias was a knowledgeable and gracious guide. Our little snack/lunch perfectly aligned with my current strict diet. I highly recommend especially if you have been traveling a lot and need some solo time.
Spectacular half day hike with a wonderful guide

5.00What an excellent trip out of the city and a great hike. We really enjoyed views of the city and valleys from the hike, and we enjoyed seeing all the ranches and the horses grazing right beside the hiking trail. Our guide Frank was super knowledgeable about the plant life and Chilean countryside. We also enjoyed the delicious wine and cheese with fresh fruits after the hike. Everything on the tour was just perfect for a half day tour.
A great half day hiking experience

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the hike with Paloma. She was a pleasure to be with and very knowledgeable and helpful. We had delicious treats after. The scenery was beautiful and she adapted the route based upon our abilities. We highly recommend this hike- it gives another perspective of Santiago.
A truly memorable experience

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Ecordua, a small family-run company based in Santiago, Chile, offering a variety of trips with a strong focus on enjoying the outdoors. We joined one of their horseback riding trips as complete novices and couldn’t have felt more comfortable, safe, or well cared for. Our guide, Josefina, was outstanding: a well-trained and highly knowledgeable outdoor guide, but above all genuinely enthusiastic about her country and passionate about sharing her knowledge and love for nature with us. This review is both a thank-you for the lovely experience we had and a way to express our support for small businesses like Ecordua, which promote more sustainable tourism and offer a far more personal and meaningful experience for their guests. We were initially drawn to Ecordua by their neat, clear, and informative website—and we were delighted to find that the experience delivered exactly what was promised. May our paths cross again someday. Highly recommended!
A fantastic excursion, start to finish!

5.00My adult daughter and I booked this as a half day outing when we were in Santiago for several days. Easy to reserve online, and bonus points that Ecordua picks up directly at our hotel! Our guide, Frank, was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of enthusiasm for the outdoor activities available in the greater Santiago area. As others have noted, the hike is rocky and steep for the first 15 minutes or so, but becomes a nice dirt path after that. The provided hiking poles were helpful for stability. When we asked what flora/fauna we might see, Frank gave a short list which included small reptiles, rabbits, and condors. Not five minutes later, a HUGE condor circled right above us, what a tremendous sight! The hike felt good - a moderately challenging hike that left us feeling accomplished, but, not worn out. We enjoyed the wine/cheese picnic after (with yummy strawberries, stuffed olives, chips, etc.), and continued chatting with Frank about the local area, and our trip in general. Really, a lovely outing, we recommend this!
An excellent day in the mountains

5.00It was a terrific 4 mile hike as described. The guide asked if we wanted to modify the planned excursion. She was very accommodating. She was fantastic answering our never ending questions and describing Chilean culture, fauna, and flora. We had a wonderful time.
Great way to spend the morning in Santiago
