Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Visit the majestic Andes Mountains via the picturesque valley of Cajón del Maipo. Our snowshoeing adventure will start as soon as we complete all the pickups and depart from Santiago, heading east towards the mountains. Your knowledgeable and expert mountaineering guide will choose the perfect location for this activity. (Depending on snow and weather conditions)
The first stop is a small market where we’ll stock up on snacks for our trek. Shortly after, we will arrive at the starting point of the hike. The guide will give you all the necessary instructions for ascending for approximately 2,5 hours, where you will marvel at the hypnotizing landscape; scour the natural panorama for jagged snow-capped peaks. After walking deep into the “Engorda Valley” in the Andean mountain range, we will stop for a box lunch (usually two sandwich with fruit and snacks per person – vegetarian option available), while your guide tells you stories of the surrounding volcanoes and mountains.
Our guide will lead the way back down to the minivan and then back to Santiago.
Stop At:
• Cajon del Maipo, Detras de la Municipalidad, San Jose de Maipo Chile
• Monumento Natural El Morado, Ruta G-25, Km. 93, San Jose de Maipo Chile
