Description
Enjoy an unforgettable getaway to the heart of the Andes on this full-day experience to Cajón del Maipo and Embalse El Yeso, one of the most impressive landscapes in central Chile. Just two hours from Santiago, this adventure takes you on a path surrounded by mountains, rock formations, and pure nature.
The tour starts with a pick-up from your accommodation and a scenic drive through the picturesque Maipo Valley. During the journey, your local guide will share information about the geography of the area, its importance as a source of drinking water for the capital, and its relevance in the history of the mountain villages.
Once at the reservoir, you'll have free time to explore the surroundings on foot, take photos, and admire the turquoise waters surrounded by imposing snow-capped hills. The landscape changes with the seasons: from bright reflections in summer to eternal snows in winter.
The experience includes a stop to enjoy a brunch-style picnic, perfect for relaxing in front of the scenery. Stops at key points along the way, such as the Tinoco Tunnel or the Yeso River, are also included, enriching the tour's narrative.
