Fantasy tour with Juan. - We were very pleased with this trip we took. The place is wonderful, very worth it. Juan, our driver was very sympathetic. Great driver, by the way. It was explaining everything that made us more enchanted with the tour. Very attentive. The repertoire during the way very good, we almost asked the names of the songs. Congratulations Juan, you were 1,000. Thank you, Juan. Marcelo and José Roberto.

Discover the Maipo Cajon - Book through Viator for comments to the Enterprise MTO CHILE and its driver MR WALDO. We have had a spectacular and well-stocked day. With very early pickup at the hotel we left Santiago we had a coffee (at the Campsite Los Almendros that the agency would have to check for having exorbitant prices 15000pesos 1 coffee and 2 chocolates that you are tourist but not silly- this is my only criticism of the prices of this cafe in Los Almendros) then we went to different points of the reservoir in the Cajon del Maipo, tip of the winds, reservoir and house of TYPICAL muleteers and AUTHENTIC Chilean people. We visited a cheese shop in the region, the chocolate house and finally a beautiful cultural activity with Chilean dances in another campsite in the region with a picnic and activities for the groups. In particular I would like to highlight the dedication, punctuality and dedication to the group of the best driver De Santiago deChile Mr WALDO

Breathtaking Sights - All of the sights were SO beautiful!!!! I highly recommend taking all the photos you want during the nature stops because after lunch there really isn’t any more opportunity. I appreciate the pacing of the stops; it was just enough time to enjoy without becoming bored. For the hot springs, bring a towel and possibly sandals. There are showers so maybe bring some soap if you want to properly wash off. Also a plastic bag to hold your wet clothes. I went solo and from that POV I wish the guide was a bit more active in creating camaraderie amongst us on the tour. He was a bit distant, but maybe he was having a day. Overall, great tour! I recommend :)

Beautiful scenery - A beautiful place! The guide and group were excellent and made it a fun experience. There were several stops (and some I would probably have skipped if given the choice) but it’s a nice way to support the local communities and you’re not forced to buy anything. The communication the day before to organise pick up could be improved (beware that my pick up time was around 5:30am which was an hour earlier than the window advertised!)
