Santiago: Manquehue Hill Private Hike & Andes ViewsYou get picked up at your hotel, driven to Manquehue's trailhead, and guided up a low-difficulty ninety-minute hike to a summit with unobstructed Andes views and the city spread below. Lunch and poles are included, and the private transfer means you don't navigate or time anything yourself — you're back by early afternoon.Is it for me?Book this if you want the Andes and Santiago's full view in a single morning without arranging transport, timing yourself, or carrying your own poles — the private pickup and included lunch are what make a summit stop feel unhurried instead of rushed.
Cajón del Maipo: Andes Volcano Hike & Wine Day TripYou’ll hike deep into Cajón del Maipo with a local guide, pausing for mountain views and stories about San Jose volcano’s wild history. Taste fresh air (and Chilean wine) over lunch in Valle de la Engorda before heading back to Santiago with tired legs and new memories.
Baños Colina: Andes Volcano Hike & Hot Springs Day TripYou’ll hike up through crisp Andes air to a wild volcano viewpoint, then sink into natural hot spring terraces at Baños Colina with mountain views all around. A local guide handles every detail — from pickup in Santiago to sharing stories over wine and a gourmet sandwich lunch by steaming pools.
Embalse del Yeso tour: Andes glacier, mountain wine tastingA nine-hour guided tour from Santiago into Cajón del Maipo reaches Embalse del Yeso, a reservoir set high in the Andes, with stops at a waterfall, a tunnel carved through rock, and a millennia-old glacier. Hotel pickup is included, and the guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese. Gourmet sandwich, appetizers and a glass of Chilean wine round out the day.Is it for me?Most day tours from Santiago stick to the lower valleys and return by mid-afternoon. This one climbs to the glacier and the reservoir itself, which is why the nine hours exist—the altitude and the distance are what make the Andes views and the millennia-old ice possible, and the wine comes at the end of the climb, not as a substitute for it.
Cajon del Maipo Day Trip: Flexible Mountain RoutesA private full-day mountain adventure in Cajon del Maipo, southeast of Santiago, where you choose the route—panoramic drive, moderate alpine hike, or demanding glacier trek—based on your fitness and the day's conditions. Your bilingual guide adapts the pace and stops to your interests, and the day includes box lunch, hiking poles, and accident insurance.Is it for me?Choose this trip if you want to shape the day around your fitness and interests rather than follow a fixed itinerary—the guide adapts the route, pace, and stops to the conditions and what appeals to you, so a casual scenic day and a serious glacier hike are equally possible on the same tour.
Half-Day Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago with PicnicA half-day guided hike in the Andes Mountains near Santiago that adjusts to your fitness level, lasting up to three hours on trails through native flora and fauna, followed by a picnic lunch at a mountain viewpoint. Hotel pickup and a bilingual guide are included; the hike crosses or passes through a body of water depending on which park you visit.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a hike that matches your own pace rather than a fixed group speed—the guide adjusts the route and difficulty as you walk, so it works for anyone from a casual walker to someone seeking more challenge. A minimum of two people per booking is required, and the tour is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health.
Cerro Leonera Andes Summit Trek from Santiago: 2-Day Guided TourIf you want to push yourself above Santiago and see what real high-altitude trekking feels like, Cerro Leonera is worth every step. You’ll camp under glacier skies, pass through Farellones’ mountain charm, and stand eye-to-eye with some of the Andes’ tallest peaks—all with an experienced guide who knows every twist in the trail.
Private Pintor Hill Andes Hike from Santiago – Full Day TourYou’ll hike high into Chile’s Andes with a local guide, reaching Cerro Pintor’s summit at 4,180 meters. Expect wild views, condors overhead, glacier panoramas—and real mountain adventure just outside Santiago.
