Cajon del Maipo - Full-Day Tour
On this full-day guided tour, visit the Cajon del Maipo area, which is located in the southeast part of the city of Santiago, famous for its hills, massifs, estuaries and rivers. This tour is ideal for ecotourism lovers who want to experience the tranquility and fresh mountain air. Start with a panoramic tour of San José de Maipo where you will learn the history and folklore of this area.
Later, advance through the wonderful landscapes to reach the mountains, towards Embalse el Yeso, a large lake surrounded by mountains. Thanks to weather conditions, this is the ideal place for a picnic. After enjoying more of the views, return to the city, appreciating the natural beauty of this place.
The Cajon del Maipo is located next to the Andes Mountains and is the beginning of the "Volcano" road to "El Yeso". On the path of the volcano, see many small towns such as Las Vertientes, El Canelo, El Manzano, San José de Maipo, El Melocoton, San Alfonso, to name a few. In these small towns, people try to escape the busy streets and the constant noise of the city to live a country life near the mountains.
Later pass the Tinoco Tunnel which has a special history and is very interesting to learn. After the last visit, start the direct path to the "Plaster Reservoir" on a dirt road. Spend about 40 minutes admiring the wonderful views of the Andes.
