Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from selected districts in the Santiago area (Estacion Central, Santiago Centro, Providencia, Las Condes, Vitacura), where you'll escape the urban hustle and bustle for a serene countryside experience. As you meander along the 'El Volcán' road, you'll encounter charming hamlets like 'Las Vertientes,' 'El Canelo,' 'El Manzano,' 'San Jose de Maipo,' 'El Melocoton,' and 'San Alfonso,' where locals seek refuge from the city's frenetic pace and relish the tranquility of life amidst the mountains.

This culinary experience is set against the backdrop of the Andes, enhancing your connection with the natural beauty that surrounds you.
