Overview
Experience the best of Cajón del Maipo in one day and without worrying about logistics: round-trip transfer from Santiago, bilingual guide, brunch and snack included at four stops in the Andes Mountains. It begins in the Plaza de San José de Maipo, founded as a village in 1792, where its parish is located, declared a National Monument. Then go up to Embalse El Yeso, one of Santiago's main drinking water reservoirs, fed by the Yeso River and mountain snowmelt, with time for photos. Continue to Laguna del Encañado, also called Laguna Escondida, a high mountain nature reserve. Walk among native vegetation, with the possibility of spotting condors, and enjoy an outdoor brunch facing the mountain range. Close in Casa Chocolate, handmade by artisan Sergio Andrade, with a sweet snack and hot chocolate, tea or coffee. The route exceeds 2,500 meters in altitude: bring layered warm clothing, sunscreen, and comfortable footwear.
