An adventure with thermal waters to relax. - We went from Santiago in a common rented car. The road in the last 20 miles is a little ruin, but it doesn't need a 4x4. Just drive slowly and carefully. The experience is unique, taking a bath of hot thermal water, looking at the mountains and snowy valleys, right near you, around. The infrastructure at Baños Colina is really minimal, and rustic, with a collective dressing room for men and women, with cold water in the taps and showers, and there are no wardrobes or cabinets to store your belongings while taking the thermal baths. It's an adventure, but very valid.

A really nice day in the mountains! - This is a great day trip and the highlight of my trip to Santiago. Our guide, Gonzalo, is a seasoned professional who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and just a lot of fun to hang out with. The mountain scenery is gorgeous and they take great care of their guests. The 4k hike is broken into short, manageable segments with rests and plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the valley at the base of the volcano. Not easy, but not as hard as some medium difficulty hikes. The second half to the hot spring is unusual, but how often do you get to sit in a pool with water heated by a volcano? It was relaxing, with a number of pools at different temperatures to choose from. At the end of the day somehow Gonzalo arranged a flyover by two condors as we were enjoying snacks to cap the day. The only down side is the van ride is rough between the hike and the springs, but that is unavoidable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can make the hike. Take note of the guidance provided by the operator to get the most out of your day.

Andres made this such a special tour! - It had recently snowed and Andres took us on a beautiful hike in the Andes. He is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the flora, fauna, and the geological features. When we mentioned that we had just gotten engaged he sprung into action and took some professional looking photos for us :) The hot springs were the perfect way to relax after the hike. Thansk for a wonderful day!

Perfect mix of hiking in the Andean mountains and relaxation in the natural hot springs! - Absolutely fantastic! I had such a great time doing the hike - which had incredible views of San Jose Volcano and the surrounding region. Andrés was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout. At some points in the hike, it was a little rocky although Andrés encouraged us to take our time and kept us safe. We saw lots of wildlife - sheep, dogs, goats, birds (including the Andean condors!). The hotsprings were also such a lovely treat after the hike! We also had the perfect surprise at the end of the trip - although I won’t spoil the surprise for you!!

Amazing! - If I could say this was 100/10 I would! Andres was amazing, he was kind and informative. His passion for Chile, nature and wildlife was so apparent during our whole hike! The hike was pretty easy, we only had about 4k but because our whole group were explorers- he even showed us a secret spot with breathtaking views. The hot springs also blew us out of the water! This was the highlight of Our trip in Santiago. 10000 would recommend over and over!

Great day out in the Andes - This was a fantastic tour. We had a nice, friendly group of six. Andres, our tour guide was wonderful. He was informative and accommodating. The landscape and scenery during the hike was breathtaking, especially the glacier covered volcano and the southernmost mountain of over 20,000 ft. The natural hot springs was a great way to end the day.
