The experience

The day starts with hotel pickup at 10am and a 1.5-hour drive into the mountains toward Cajon del Maipo. You'll stop in the town itself to walk the markets and principal square, grab breakfast with the Andes as a backdrop, and hear about the local history and culture. From there the route climbs toward Colina Valley Hot Springs, where the entrance fee is already covered. You soak in the natural hot baths surrounded by the mountains themselves.

Between the hot springs and the return, you visit a chocolate house with ice cream and coffee, then settle into a picnic in the Andes with cheese, ham, juice and snacks, plus one bottle of wine. The optional canopy tour (a separate activity run by another company in the canyon) can be added at checkout if you want a second adrenaline moment before heading back to San Antonio, Valparaiso or Santiago. The whole day runs 8 to 9 hours door to door.

Three purchase options let you shape the day: the core hot springs and picnic tour, the same tour plus a winery visit at Chacalan, or the main tour bundled with rafting instead of the canopy option. A live guide travels with your group and speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese. The minimum age is 17.
