We spent the day in the Andes at the Cajon del Maipo. The transportation was perfect, the weather was incredible and the scenery unmatched.The big surprise was the special lunch prepared-with three types of wine, juice, cherries, strawberries, cheeses, olives, salami, chips and more. I lost my cellphone in the van, and Gabriel and his sweet wife went out of their way to return it to me. It was over an hour each way, and returned it safe and sound. What kind honest people they are. I highly recommend this trip.

I enjoyed seeing the sights, the crew were professional and informative. We had enough time at each place. I would have liked to walk more and enjoy being a bit more active, this is just my personal preference. The picnic was a good variety and a nice touch, nice wine and pisco sous and the fresh empanada was delicious.

Our guide, Francisco took my daughter, my grandson, and me along with two others on a one-day trip on September 30, 2018 into the Andes from Santiago, Chile. Francisco was excellent in every way: giving us information along the way as well as being an excellent driver on roads and in weather (it snowed) that was challenging. We made several stops at high altitudes that were interesting and provided astonishing views. On the way we stopped to rent heavy clothing, and the price was reasonable. More importantly, the extra clothing (especially the boots) were really necessary to get around once we passed the snow line. This was an excellent trip.

The best part of the tour was not getting to Cajon del Maipo itself, but getting to meet our guide, Francisco. His love for Chile, adventure, and travel is palpable right from the beginning. Right when you get into his van in Santiago, he tells you interesting stories and facts about the city. He seems to know absolutely everything about Santiago and the Andes. He is excited when he tells you his stories and is just happy you're there to listen. You feel safe in his van, even though the rocky mountain roads and takes you farther than into the mountains than any other tour group. We went on a day with beautiful weather to Cajon Del Maipo where the sun shone brightly, the winds were calm, and there was not a hint of cloudy skies. The lake was turquoise green and quite the sight to see. I recommend climbing a big rock along the shore away from the crowds and simply enjoy the scenery and the blessing it is to be in a place so beautiful. After an hour or so of self-exploring, Francisco prepared a beautiful picnic for us with red wine, cheese, and snacks. I realized that even though Cajon del Maipo is a sight to behold, the true gift is getting to know the soul of Chile. Francisco embodies that. There is so much excitement and love in this human being that it's contagious. By the end of the trip, you'll also be in love with Chile and Santiago and wish you could stay forever.

Good day but there were lots of people and it was quite crowded at the lake. The photos of a tranquil site dont match the reality. We still had a good day though.

This was a great excursion. The lake and surrounding area is gorgeous! After a short walk and it is a walk not a hike once we reached the lake we can back to find a beautiful picnic set up which included local wine and some amazing snacks. I was with friends for a milestone birthday and they gave us a bottle of wine to take back.
