84 tours  ·  from $25 a head

Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo and Embalse del Yeso tour, with Andes views, village stops, picnic wine, guide tips, and honest drawbacks.

“El Yeso reservoir was beautiful. We saw condors. The wine and picnic was really nice. A couple of the stops felt a bit rushed but overall was a great day back in nature out of the city. And Francisco was a great guide.”
