Tour Cajon del Maipo, Farellones, Valle Nevado and Portillo. - A really lovely experience to enjoy the snow and the Andean landscapes. Recommendation: bring suitable clothing and look for alternatives of Snow clothing rental in the center of Santiago and not on the route to the mountain. Same for the tours of the ski centers. Near the Baquedano station there are several shops for renting snow clothes at very good prices. Another recommendation is to check the condition of the tracks, as in winter time agencies continue to sell full tours knowing that there is closure of the roads by snow as in the case of Maipo Canyon and can only reach halfway.

Beautiful place to visit. - Breathtaking scenery, peaceful mountain vibes, Cajón del Maipo is a hidden gem, worth the trip. Cajón del Maipo is a stunning escape just outside Santiago, Chile, nestled in the Andes Mountains.

Amazing walk! - As the Cajon del Maipo was closed, the agency Aprendi to Travel Chile took us to the Portillo and Laguna del inca, which is an amazing tour! The guide Marlon was very attentive, introduced the history of the locations and even took excellent photos of the class.

Great disappointment with this tour agency - I made the reservation to visit the Maipo drawer and they stood me up, I left all the details so they contacted me but in the end they did not answer my messages by Whatsapp. Terrible experience with this agency.

Avoid This Agency at All Costs – Unreliable, Unresponsive, and Completely Unprofessional - This was by far the worst experience we had during our entire trip. My husband booked a tour to Cajón del Maipo through this agency via GetYourGuide. The listing clearly stated pickup at 5:00 AM, with confirmation to be sent the night before. That confirmation *never* came. We tried to contact the agency through GetYourGuide the night before to ask for our pickup time, but they were unreachable even then. Despite that, we still followed the 5:00 AM pickup time listed in the advertisement and were outside our hotel, ready and waiting from 4:45 AM — just in case they arrived early. We stood in the cold, tired and hopeful, but no one ever showed up. We also tried calling the agency directly: no answer. We reached out to GetYourGuide again the morning of the tour, and they confirmed that the agency was still completely unreachable. They had our phone number, our email, and could have easily messaged us through the GetYourGuide platform — but they didn’t. No communication whatsoever. This was our last day in Chile, and because of this agency’s complete lack of professionalism, we missed out on visiting Cajón del Maipo — something we had planned and looked forward to for a long time. I’ve attached a screenshot of our communication with GetYourGuide, which proves that the agency was completely unreachable and failed to fulfill their responsibilities. This company is absolutely unreliable. If you value your time, your money, or your sanity, stay far away from them. They shouldn’t be allowed to continue operating
