Some kilometers, before arriving, we will stop for a walk of 25 minutes to see a majestic waterfall. During our trekking, we are going to discover a volcano of 5.800 meters above sea level, located a 100 kms away from Santiago and a walk of 3 hours roundtrip.

Faq
The best time to visit Santiago is during spring (September to November) and summer (December to March), when temperatures are pleasant (between 18°C and 30°C) and there are many outdoor activities, such as hiking, vineyard visits and city tours. Autumn (April to June) is also a good option for the beautiful colors of the landscapes and moderate temperatures, while winter (June to September) is ideal for those who wish to do snow sports in the Andes Mountains.
Yes, especially if you visit popular places or do popular activities, such as vineyard tours, hiking in the Andes Mountains, or excursions to the Cajón del Maipo hot springs. During high season (November to March), it is advisable to book in advance to ensure availability, as tours and activities can fill up quickly.
Santiago offers a wide variety of gastronomic options, from traditional dishes such as empanadas, curanto (a seafood and meat stew), asados, to international cuisine. In the surrounding area, especially in the wine valleys, you can taste dishes based on fresh seafood, ceviche, and grilled meat. Also, do not miss the wines of the region and the famous Chilean pisco. If you visit Cajón del Maipo, you can try homemade dishes in the local estancias.

Fue una linda experiencia estar en plena cordillera y llegar a la falda del volcan San Jose , los guias muy buenos en conocimientos de la historia de la zona , se hace dificil el primer tremo ya que sin precalentamiento hay que escalar empinadamente , mas despues en terreno plano se hace mas facil , muy contento de conocer gente de otros paises y intercambiar experiencias , gracias a los guias y al chofer det tour.
