Exceptional - The walk ES very nice! Our guide was very friendly, drove safely and explained us about the places we visited. Checked out very early, ahead DE schedule EN the time DE purchase (we were picked up EN the hotel at 05:15). But we realized DE was excellent, because we were always the first group to get to the places and everything was much quieter. They make a stop for coffee when you reach San José DE Maipo and then continue to the El Yeso Reservoir... To reach the place there is a walk, but it is totally worth it! The view ES wonderful! Then he took us to lunch, made some other stops EN interesting places and finally made the stop for the picnic. EN that place we saw presentations about Chilean culture and tasted a wine. The return happens at around DE 17:00. This paradise is very worth visiting and Ivan certainly made the ride even more special!

DE trecking and picnic day EN cajon del maipo - Incredible, really recommendable, DE DE maipo, we spent a whole day visiting DE maipo’s caisson, the gypsum reservoir and culminated with a picnic with traditional Chilean music and show! There are many additional surprises ENtro of the tour that I let them live in the flesh. Special thanks to Mauricio, who was NO only our guide, but also driver, photographer, historian and showman! Their willingness and good humor made a difference to other groups. 10/10 super recommended.

Worth the price. - It is a very long day but a good way to experience the Andes. Snow capped mountains were breathtaking but it was cold (brrr).
