What a great beautiful day! Everything went smoothly from pickup and drop off. The lunch and wine were amazing too! The guides and driver were also absolutely amazing! Thank you! The hike itself was easy to moderate.
We had a wonderful day. Our tour guides Andres, Camilla and Martin were great with interesting facts to share. Our tour was very informative, beautiful and we felt very welcomed. We would highly recommend this day tour.

Highly recommend, best day out, the views, lunch, picnic with wine and cheese, Andre’s made the day memorable.
I would totally recommend this trip! Everything from pick-up till drop-off went smoothly. Andres and Camilla were amazing guides and the group was also great - it felt like going on a trip with friends! Since we were quite fast, we even extended the tour to about 10k. Andres taught us a lot about the geography and other specifics of the region. We didn't see many animals since all had been brought down because of an announced blizzard in the following week but we DID see two condors, which was amazing. I'd totally do it again!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience from pick-up to drop-off. It's wonderful to know that Andres and Camilla helped create such a friendly atmosphere and that the group felt more like a group of friends exploring the Andes together. We're also glad you enjoyed the extended hike and had the opportunity to learn more about the geography, history, and unique landscapes of the region. And spotting two condors is always a special highlight — they are truly one of the most iconic symbols of the Andes! Thank you for your flexibility regarding the wildlife sightings, and we're happy that the mountain conditions still provided an unforgettable experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another adventure with us in the future. Warm regards, The AndoAndes Team
Fabulous day trip! Andres and Camilla were wonderful guides, both friendly and knowledgeable. Scenery was absolutely stunning and the hike was just the right level of challenging. Highly recommended!
We had a great time with our guide Andres as he helped us navigate the paths through the valley. We had ample opportunity to admire the scenery and take in the fresh air. You could tell Andres loves nature and truly enjoys the outdoors. Make sure to bring trekking/hiking shoes as the path is a bit rugged. Also, I recommend thick socks or pants that cover the ankles due to the short thistle shrubs. Not a challenging hike but definitely not a stroll in the park so plan accordingly.
Awesome experience! The views were very beautiful. Andreas the guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Patricia, the other guide was a great support and Poncho is a great driver.
Good hike close to Santiago. Overall very smooth experience and a good activity if you want to get out of Santiago for the day. Patricia our guide was lovely. Walking pace suitable for all levels.
Thank you so much for your review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the hike and had a smooth experience exploring the Andes with us. Patricia will be very happy to know she helped make your day special. One of the things we love most about this experience is that it’s accessible for different fitness levels while still offering incredible mountain scenery just outside Santiago. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again on another adventure in Chile. AndoAndes Team
This place is spectacular and beautiful. In every direction there was a beautiful photo to be taken. If you're looking for a great day in the Andes and you have a day to spare in Santiago come here. Our guides Camilla and Patricia were friendly and helpful. The walk was easy on rocky paths and at a slow relaxed pace - we spent about 5 hours walking the 8k.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the Andes and that the experience gave you so many memorable views and photo opportunities. That’s exactly what we love to share with our guests. It’s also great to know that Camilla and Patricia helped make the day even more enjoyable with their friendly and relaxed approach. The Andes Day Volcano is designed to be a scenic and accessible hike, so we’re glad the pace and experience felt comfortable for you. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Chile for another adventure in the future! Best regards, Rai & AndoAndes Team
Our hiking trip to El Cajón del Maipo was absolutely incredible, thanks to our phenomenal guides, Patricia and Camila. From start to finish, they brought a vibrant, energetic, and enthusiastic energy that kept the whole group lifted.We spent the day hiking through the stunning mountain range under perfect weather. The scenery was breathtaking, but the hospitality made it unforgettable. Patricia and Camila provided a wonderful lunch with front-row views of the mountains. To wrap up an already perfect day, they, along with our highly skillful driver—set up a beautiful final picnic. We enjoyed delicious appetizers and fantastic Chilean wine while soaking in the views.I highly recommend this tour with Patricia, and Camila. If you are visiting Chile, do not miss out on this experience!
