Discover the Andes Mountains on a full-day guided tour of Cajón del Maipo and Embalse El Yeso, departing from Santiago.
The tour begins early in the morning with pickup from passengers' accommodations. Aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, we will head toward Cajón del Maipo, passing through mountain landscapes and small towns along the way.
Our first stop will be in San José de Maipo, where we will have some time for breakfast (optional and not included in the tour). During this stop, passengers can use the facilities available at the location before continuing the journey.
Next, we will head toward Embalse El Yeso, a reservoir located in the Andes Mountains, known for its turquoise waters and the surrounding mountain scenery. Built in 1964, the reservoir is one of the main sources of water supply for Santiago. We will stop here to enjoy the views and take photographs while the guide shares information about the region.
After visiting Embalse El Yeso, we will begin our return journey through Cajón del Maipo, making our third stop at a local establishment specializing in goat cheese. During this visit, passengers will have the opportunity to taste this traditional regional product and learn a little about its production.
We will then stop for lunch (not included), allowing passengers some free time to enjoy their meal and rest before continuing the tour.
After lunch, we will visit the well-known Chocolate House (Casa del Chocolate), located in San José de Maipo. This establishment is famous for its distinctive architecture and variety of chocolates, ice creams, and other specialties available for purchase. Passengers will have time to explore the venue and try its products if they wish.
During our itinerary, we will also stop at a private area where alpacas can be seen, where a picnic will be served with snacks and a glass of wine or juice. Passengers can enjoy the surroundings, observe the animals, and relax before heading back.
Once all activities are completed, we will begin our return journey to Santiago. At the end of the tour, all passengers will be dropped off at the same locations where they were picked up at the beginning of the experience.
