Phenomenal excursion!! - What a fantastic trip, look no further, this is the one you should go with! We had Feli and Andrés as our guides, they were amazing guides and I’m so lucky we had them! They were super nice, informative, prudent, and made sure everyone is doing well. The two guides also help for those who wish to go faster or slower, they are super accommodating and will make sure you are comfortable throughout the whole trip. We had amazing views and they made this journey accessible to everyone.

Top guides and spectacular scenery - I recommend the Trekking Tour 100%. The entire landscape is simply spectacular! Our driver Matías has a very safe driving style. The two guides Laura and Karina are very personable, friendly, helpful and speak very good English. Both have a very profound knowledge of the flora and fauna as well as the animals living there. This was my very first trekking and I felt very well looked after. Although I was the slowest in the group, the guides Laura & Karina adjusted the pace accordingly. Karina was next to me the whole time and lovingly motivated me. I don't know how I would have done this without her. Muchas Gracias!!

Great Views, nice hike - We did the group day trip 8k to the volcano. The pickup was timely(early) and we did a stop on the way there for breakfast/bathroom break. The van was clean and comfortable. The guides were personable and friendly. It was a beautiful hike, not very difficult. The hardest part is the first climb up, and after that it's fairly flat. The periodic breaks during the hike were very well timed. The scenery was beautiful and I took alot of pictures. The only room for improvement would be the lunch, which was fairly basic- banana water granola bar and sandwich.

Great day in nature - This was a great and very cool experience! It is a very long day so be prepared for an early start and late return. Also for those that may be sensitive to the altitude it is a quick change. Our guides Laura and Karina were so nice and helpful and it was a beautiful hike.

Great trek - The most amazing trip through the Andes! So much to see and enjoy. Lorena was a great guide. The hike was easy and it’s worth it for a quick day trip from Santiago. I would not hesitate to recommend it. We even had a wine tasting at the end with cheese and fruit. Chilean wine in the Andes!
