This hike was the best part of our vacation. We had a beautiful 4-5 hour hike where we saw many different viewpoints of the Andes. With each viewpoint we saw different colors from the mountains. We are in the valley for the majority of the time so the hike wasn’t too demanding.

Highly recommended!!. The organization was very good, they gave solutions to my requests (it is better to communicate with them by whatsapp as it is faster). The day of the excursion everything was perfect, I felt safe with them and me and my brother had an incredible time. The scenery is stunning. Please note, this experience is NOT for people with heart, respiratory or musculoskeletal conditions, and if you are sedentary, you may not feel well. Otherwise... you must do it!

Still thinking about this amazing day. I signed up by myself, not really knowing what to expect. I could not have wished for better company! It was a beautiful hike with amazing views. The guides were experienced, but most of all kind, caring and super fun. I also really liked that they shared interesting facts about the Andes, and we even got to see some interesting wild life such as a condor, a very rare type of frog, and even an Andes hummingbird from very close by. The picnic with local wine and cheese was the cherry on top of an incredible day. This is truly an experience I will never forget.

This was my second time to do this tour. I had my daughter with me; we had originally planned to ski but the conditions were bad so needed another plan and I knew this was a great day out.
Booking was simple with good communication from the office staff and pickup from our hotel was on time the following day.
We stopped after 1 hour for breakfast in a nice local restaurant then continued, via a short stop at a beautiful waterfall, to the start of our hike. The guides were well prepared, experienced, knowledgeable and very helpful all day long. They emphasised our safety and hiked at a pace comfortable for everyone (teens through to retirees in our group). The hike is not difficult and regular stops for water/ rest /photos were made. We were all provided with hiking poles and a packed lunch which we ate in a beautiful location on the mountain. The scenery was simply incredible and well worth the effort - we were also lucky enough to see several condors.
After returning to the bus we stopped again on the way home at the same restaurant for a local snack and a glass of wine - also included in the price. Arrived safely back at the hotel in time for a shower and dinner. Perfect.
This is a well run, professional company which I will definitely use again and recommend highly.

This was an outstanding excursion with ride up through Cajon del Maipo to a hike towards San Jose Volcan. Given the early spring weather resulting in early melting of the snow, our guides indicated that the full 8K hike would not be suitable, so a side trip to a waterfall was added. This resulted in a fortuitous meeting with a local herd of free-range goats and an opportunity to see several Andean condors nearby. The hike towards San Jose Volcan entailed a breathtaking range of views, and we lunched by a stream coming down from the glacier abutting the Volcan. The trail we followed, eventually can lead up to the Volcan rim, and is suitable for snow camping, and apparently there are huts about. The overall experience was enhanced by both guides that joined us, Pancho (Francisco) and Pato (Patricio). They were both knowledgeable on a variety of topics, including geology, the local fauna and flora, the history of Chile and current events impacting on Cajon del Maipo. Furthermore, they were attentive to all members of the group.
