About visiting Portillo - Is it worth it?! - We recommend the experience of this tour! Me and my wife went along with a group of about 6 more tourists in a van driven by the friendly driver Pablo. In fact, a big difference besides the good mood, was his great historical knowledge shared during the journey, which fueled even more our curiosity to know more about the local culture and about Chile! Portillo is a snow park that is also open (free of charge) for those who do not want to ski, it is a great option for those who want to venture with the family, take lots of photos, enjoy mountainous landscapes with ice, rocks and nature. Tip: If you are well packed, there is no need to buy all the waterproof parts. In our case, we already bought in Brazil waterproof boots and cold clothes (first skin), so we only need to rent waterproof pants and 1 glasses, it was enough. Quiet route, pleasant day and everything went well both on the way and back. We really liked!!!

Tour to Portillo and Laguna del Inca. - The MTO agency rather disorganized, we were cancelled without reason the day before and then told that the tour was done. Then they complied with everything stipulated. The tour itself is very good, all the stops indicated were made and the times were very well set. We highlight the work of driver and guide Pablo who did his job very well and the most enjoyable walk.

Unfortunately the fate has been changed - Unfortunately I could not take the tour to share because the weather conditions closed the accesses, the tour was replaced by vina del mar and valparaiso, it was not a tour that I had a lot of interest, however the Guide / driver was quite nice and friendly and guided us well along the tour.

Disappointing experience - The agency cancelled it twice alleging weather conditions, which was not true. What I found out was that the tour wasn't worth it, unless it was to get to know the famous road that leads from Chile to Argentina, and they probably didn't have a public to do. On site, a Resort with all closed and only place to eat (and logically more expensive). We just look at the pond, take pictures and leave. As I had to hire another driver I didn't know, we decided to go to the currency and as a result we were stuck for an hour in immigration. If you want to see and enjoy snow, look for Farellones and Snow Valley which is much more open, has food options and the car climbing adventure is much more radical.

Agency wasn't doing the tour - We did not do this tour, the agency canceled the tour for three days, they said it was closed, so not to lose the money we went to Valparaíso and vina del mar, but I did not like it very much, it was not that we really wanted to do, but I understand that the weather interferes and that the agency is not to blame, I just think that in these cases, it should be possible to have the choice of chargeback money.

Lack of Professionalism - MENTIROSE COMPANY. Except for a bad service with semi-automatic and time-consuming messages. The company canceled my tour the night before saying the venue was closed due to weather conditions. When I entered the site of Sky Portillo I saw that all routes were open and the weather was excellent, so I made the same ride with another company which said it would be normal. On the day of the tour, not only this new company but another 20 were in portillo doing the work normally.. If I had fallen into the history of this agency I would have missed an incredible experience. I was offered to switch to a tour somewhere else, which I was not interested in.

Cancellation - Our tour to Portillo was cancelled the previous afternoon, with the argument of unavailability, but we had bought in May 2024. Surface answers by whatsapp to dispense you, do not answer the phone and there is no physical store. Frustrated family in the middle of the journey.

Bad experience! They canceled our tour the night before. - The company canceled our 23h tour the night before because they did not make an exchange they themselves requested!!! They did not even question to remarket our tour! We booked and paid the tour on May/24, and the company canceled 12 hours before, so we couldn’t even make the tour! Besides, they did not answer the messages asking for help! We had a bad experience! Do not close tours with this company!!
