Great Experience - Andres our guide along with the beauty of the Andes mountains created an exceptional experience. The hike was well worth the trip to see beauty of Andes mountains and the Condors flying above. Really enjoyed the knowledge our guide shared of the mountains, nature, and the Santiago area

Unforgettable experience - Fantastic experience, I highly recommend this walk/treeking. Amazing view. The Guide Gonzalo is very prepared and gave a geology lesson along the way on the formation of the Andes, explained many historical facts which made the experience unforgettable. I recommend

If you do just one thing on your trip, it should be this! - This was the highlight of our entire trip - actually, one of the best days of our lives! The location and experience was phenomenal - there are no words or pictures to portray this, but it honestly was because of Gonzalo, Felipe and the AndoAndes team that we had the best time ever. We laughed, hiked, enjoyed breath-taking views and made some amazing friends.
The hike isn't just a walk - so be prepared to push yourself, with amazing support along the way :)

Highly recommend!!! - Although we weren’t able to do the volcano hike because of the snow accumulation, we ended up doing a hike in Cajun de Maipo to the Condor’s nest. Overall it was a great experience! Camila was a great tour guide and Felipe was an excellent driver. We had a group of 6 people and did the whole hike in about 5 hours and had an hour at the top to have lunch and a small picnic at the end. We got to see condors and amazing views.

Trekking Viewpoint of condors in Maipo drawer - For climatic reasons I finally trekked to the condor viewpoint. A little more demanding than expected, (since there was plenty of snow), but it was very worth it! A wonderful view! I would do it again!! The Gonzalo Guide very friendly, showed his knowledge about the place, birds and geography. Super recommended if you like trekking!!

Amazing adventure with breathtaking views - It was a wonderful experience! The guide Andres took us at our place at the right time, reached us a lot about the mountain, the culture and was prepared with water, fruits and a sanduich. When we got uphills, the view was stoning! Later we got the picnic just before get onboard to come back to Santiago. I really recommend it for those that want to be next to nature and beautiful landscapes!

Alternative trip, it was amazing! - So unfortunately, this trip was actually canceled due to some avalanches. But we were contacted in plenty of time and offered another trip instead. If you look for Santiago and condor hike, I think you can find it. Our guides were Andrés and Camila, both very knowledgeable, super friendly and helpful. The hike up was challenging, but we stopped plenty of times to rest as needed. It was totally worth it, because having condors fly over our heads at the top was amazing.

Amazing experience! - We could not go to the volcano because of avalanches in the area, but Andres took us to the Mirador de los Condores trail instead, and what an amazing experience! The hike was a perfect challenge, and we saw condors up close and personal at the top of the mountain. Andres was a great guide, energetic and very knowledgeable!

Beautiful condor hike - The hike we were signed up for (volcano) was canceled so we did the recommended alternative, the condor hike. It was rated intermediate and that is an accurate rating for this hike. Show up with hiking boots and a backpack to carry the water and lunch they give you. They provide the hiking poles. Experienced hikers with a rental car could do the hike on their own because the guides didn’t provide much local info. But it was very convenient to be picked up at the place we were staying and the guides were very nice and helpful. Good activity for a family. Hiking the Andes is a must do.

Travelers beware. - Travelers beware! This company is knowingly selling tours to the volcano even though the road is closed for the season. Yes, it is closed until September due to the POSSIBILITY of avalanches. 2 days before the tour they asked to switch days as they didn't have enough people but would wait to find more. They then cancelled the day before the tour - after they found enough people, but then there was an untimely avalanche. They offered up a comparable option, which I reluctantly accepted. They only left me a half day to find a new tour. There is no unfortunate avalanche. This tour was never going to happen. The road is closed for a few months during the winter and this company is still selling tours with the intention of switching them out at the last minute. I highly advise that you do your research and check when the roads in the mountains officially open. GET A REFUND IF THEY TRY TO CANCEL YOUR TOUR LAST MINUTE.
