Prepare for an exhilarating journey in the Andes: Cajon del Maipo, featuring a stunning 5-hour walk tailored for small groups.

The adventure begins with a 1 hour and 30-minute scenic drive to the Colorado River Valley, where a delightful breakfast awaits, offering a picturesque view of the mountains.

Accompanied by a local guide, the trek will commence along trails that showcase the area’s captivating vegetation, including peumos, thorns, cacti, and maytans, many of which are characteristic of the sclerophyllous or evergreen forest.

During the trek, there will be opportunities to discover the area’s rich wildlife, with chances to spot blackberry eagles and condors, and to search for signs like fox or cougar tracks.

Upon reaching the trail’s summit, a breathtaking view of the Andes will be the ultimate reward.

Finally, after descending and experiencing an unforgettable day in the Andes, the journey back to Santiago will begin.

• The tour runs from April to November, as during the summer, condors climb to other valleys by the heat.
