Trade the city streets of Santiago for striking mountain landscapes on this day trip to Cajón del Maipo canyon and the Embalse el Yeso reservoir. Journey by van or 4X4 up into the Andes, then hike with your guide along the Maipo River. Toast with a glass of Chilean wine as you picnic at the reservoir before your return to Santiago.
What to Expect
Start the day with convenient pick-up at your hotel in Santiago. Take in the views of the Cajón del Maipo canyon as you drive up into the snow-capped Andes, then break for a lunch of traditional empanadas.
After a stop in the small mountain town of San José de Maipo, your guide will lead you on a hike along the banks of the Maipo River to the tranquil turquoise waters of the Embalse el Yeso reservoir. Catch a glimpse of condors, foxes, eagles, and other local wildlife.
Sample Chilean wine, cheeses, and snacks at the water’s edge before you head back to the capital city.
