Santiago: Cajón del Maipo + El Yeso (Pickup+Picnic)｜Chile

Escape Santiago for a full-day Andes adventure to Cajón del Maipo and the stunning Embalse El Yeso. This tour is designed to be easy and stress-free, with round-trip transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a local guide sharing insights and tips throughout the day.

Travel through mountain scenery alongside the Maipo River, then stop at the El Yeso Valley viewpoint for panoramic photos. In winter, there’s an optional stop to rent snow gear, plus an optional breakfast stop (breakfast not included) before continuing into the mountains.

The main highlight is Embalse El Yeso, where you’ll have free time for gentle walks, photos, and simply taking in the landscape. Later, enjoy a stop at the traditional Chocolate House, a local favorite for sweets, artisanal ice cream, and regional products.

To wrap up the day, relax with an included picnic in a natural area of Cajón del Maipo, featuring snacks and drinks (including juice and wine), before heading back to Santiago.

Winter note (June–September): if the road is closed due to severe weather for safety reasons, you can choose an alternative tour to Portillo & Inca Lagoon, reschedule, or receive a full refund.
