Adventure in the Andes near Santiago

4.00The tour is interesting and the views are very beautiful, but it is necessary to check the weather forecast in advance and make sure it is good and it does not get too cold. The structure of bathrooms and dressing rooms of the thermal pools is very precarious. The barbecue is served in an old ski lodge by local guides and staff who are all very kind and friendly. It’s not exactly a romantic experience, as the brochure seems to suggest, but it’s an adventure worth checking out.
Stunning Andes

5.00This tour was absolutely incredible! I’ll start by saying it’s not for everyone—but if you have an adventurous spirit, you’re going to love every second of it. Jamie picked us up right on time in a comfortable 4WD that easily fit our group of four, along with another lovely couple. The drive up into the Andes alone was an adventure—scenic, exciting, and a great lead-up to what was to come. The hot springs are rustic, but truly stunning. We were lucky enough to have snow falling while we were soaking, which made the experience feel completely magical. Afterward, we headed to a charming, authentic German-style lodge for a BBQ. Walking in to an open fire with Chilean wine and pisco sours waiting for us was the perfect touch. The food was fantastic—and there was plenty of it! The hospitality from everyone involved was warm and genuine. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour. Sitting in the hot springs high in the Andes was an unforgettable highlight—truly a wonderful experience.
Fantastic experience! ...

5.00I usually book all my trips at least 12 months in advance, however after a few last minute changes i booked this trip a day before. Wow I am so glad I did. Sebastian our guide was fabulous at guiding us through the day. The arrangements were slick in terms of timings and communication ahead of being picked up. The trip starts at lunch time, a fairly long journey but driving through the local towns and a visit to the chocolate shop broke the journey up. The chocolate shop is lovely, very nice chocolates. We went to the waterfalls and to thw hot springs incredible the scenwry is stunning and such an experience. Plenty of time at each stop but not too much. We then drove from the springs through the most incredible sunset I have ever seen to the bbq and wow. What a beautiful set up the bbq was on, the food was amazing, lots of gorgeous drinks and stunning surroundings. After the bbq the lights went down and the sky was full of stars, Sebastian was fabulous so knowledgeable pointing them out to us and helping everyone to take photos a night i will never forget. The most amazing trip of a 2.5 week stay with lots of trips taken in sth America. Highly recommend. Just to be mindful the journey is very off road so very bumpy if you get car sick I would recommend taking some travel sickness pills.
Worth the Trip in Santiago!

5.00Lovely experience all around. The dinner at the end of the night was spectacular - the food was incredible. Lots of options from Wine, Cheeses, Beef, Pork, non-alc, etc. The driving did take a bit of time but the driver points things out along the way. The thermal pools were also spectacular!
Great experience. Juan...

5.00This was my favorite experience that we booked! It’s a long day, but amazing! You get to see so much! The mountains, hot spring and ending with a bbq under the stars was magical! Everyone kept talking about how great of an experience it was! The guides—Chris, Sebastian and Fransisco were nice, fun and very knowledgeable. It was a group of 20 of us and they handled us with care and patience! Communication when booking and day of was excellent. Highly recommend!!!
What a wonderful experience!

5.00We did the English tour and Francisco was just a wonderful host and tour guide. He showed us some of the most beautiful sights we had ever seen. It is an intimate tour of 4-5 which makes your tour feel all the more special. This tour was absolutely worth every penny.
