5.00This Cajón del Maipo afternoon tour was one of the most memorable experiences of our time in Chile. From the moment we left Santiago, the journey into the Andes was filled with stunning scenery, charming villages, and great company. Our host, Christopher, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the day. We made a fun stop at the House of Chocolate before continuing through the picturesque valley to the beautiful Veil of the Bride Waterfall. The highlight was definitely soaking in the natural hot springs of Termas Valle de Colina. Surrounded by mountains and warmed by volcanic heat, the pools were incredibly relaxing, with a variety of temperatures to suit everyone. As the sun set, we made our way to a cozy and authentic 1930s German mountaineering chalet, where a roaring fire and warm atmosphere awaited us. We were treated to a delicious Chilean feast featuring charcuterie boards, traditional pastries, roasted vegetables, longaniza, sausages, beef, and more. There was also a great selection of Chilean wines, beers, and juices, with gluten-free options available as well. We ended the evening inside the chalet, relaxing by the fire and soaking up the peaceful mountain vibe before heading back to Santiago. The tour was well-organized, beautifully paced, and offered a perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and local culture. Huge thanks to Christopher for making it such a special experience. Highly recommended!
Stargazing is worth the long tour!

5.00I would have given this tour 5 stars, except that we were stopped by the police for an hour due to lack of documentation for the car and lost an hour. Our group had to skip the waterfall, so I have no idea if it's nice. Otherwise, it is such an unforgettable experience! Stargazing in particular - it is not easy to see such a magnificent sky. The guides were actually really well prepared, pointing to various constellations with a laser. Dinner could have been a little shorter, but the variety and amount of food was incredible. Be prepared to be freezing, even around the fire - bring hats, gloves, jackets, etc. Hot springs are beautiful, with various temperatures, but accommodations around them are pretty basic, shower has cold water only. Bring towels and water shoes. Also, if your group gets to hot springs after dark, there are no electric lights there at all, you will have to use a flashlight to walk around. The house of chocolate is cute and a nice rest stop. Please be prepared for at least 2 - 2.5 hours drive, traffic out of the city can be challenging. We got back to our hotel at 1:30am (like I said, dinner could have been a bit shorter).
Amazing

5.00An incredible experience, made all the more special by our wonderful driver and guide, Pablo. Communication was excellent throughout, as the date was moved to ensure sufficient numbers and the best conditions. Pablo gave us a great insight of the sights and the area, as well as some great tips for Santiago whilst navigating the city. The hot springs were incredible and a welcome reprieve from the chilly evening drawing in. The real star of the show (if you'll pardon the pun) was being led through the constellations in the night sky, which were crystal clear! Oh and the BBQ served up a real treat too.
