Escape Santiago for a volcano hike, Andes views, wine, and Baños Colina hot springs in a small-group day tour.
“A great tour, with a fun and knowledgeable guide. The hike was great, with the best views at the mountains and all the different colored rocks. With the explanations of the guide about the forming of the mountains we appreciated it even more. The plain and the lunch at the river were beautiful spots. And the hot baths were a good closure of a wonderful day. The best tour we did in Santiago!!”
Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo hot springs tour, with six pools, mountain views, transport, timing, value, and practical drawbacks.
“1. While booking, it says english guide. But it turned out to be all spanish..the co travellers and the guide (speaks broken little english often taking help of intetnet translations). 2. The guide admits the tour is his first trip as well. Hence seems helpless. 3. The driver is more active virtually taking over control.

Trek through Villarrica’s native forest to a volcano viewpoint, then soak in 20 pools at Chile’s Geometric Hot Springs.
“The site on a private land is very beautiful. The hike can be a bit sporty with thick snow and an ascending grade from the beginning, but is very worthwhile. Due to the weather the view of the volcanos from the top was obstructed. But the forest with the snow and nature sound was so beautiful that it didn’t matter. On a clearer day with the view the hike must be even more fantastic for sure. Blas, the guide and owner of the agency, is very professional and highly experienced in mountain hiking and trekking. He provided good technical advices and made the hike very pleasant and fun. The geométrical…”
Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo day trip to Embalse del Yeso, hot springs, Casa de Chocolate, and picnic, with practical tips.
“Francisca was an excellent guide and entertainer, and Andres a great driver. Our only concern was not being told well in advance what we may need to bring, or that the schedule could be disrupted, like they’re being no time for lunch. Bring extra warm clothing, extra food, extra water, and a towel.”
Soak in 16 thermal pools at Geometric Hot Springs near Pucón, with scenic transfers, Lake Calafquén views, and practical booking tips.
“We got talking to someone else on the tour who went to the office and paying 60000 CHP instead of what we paid on gyg over 110000 CHP. I can understand GYG taking some commission but basically twice the price is ridiculous!!”
Review of a private Santiago tour to Embalse del Yeso and Termas Valle de Colina, with Andes views, wine, cheese, and hot springs.
