A great day in the snowy andes - Nicolas,who runs Coigue, is exactly who you want as a guide for an outdoors focused day trip from Santiago. He is very attentive, kind and doesn't rush you though he will push you to try your best - It is physically intensive. Be sure to ask him about his bike touring adventures. You will not be disappointed. For me, because of excessive snow closing El Morado, we instead went to Valle de la Engorda which was stunning. We hiked a fair distance before snowshoeing till the final destination for a 8.4 km round trip. The boxed lunch was well selected, given I was vegetarian with a sandwich, granola bar, chocolate bar, peanuts and two fruits. I'd gladly choose Coigue and Nicolas for any other outdoorsy activities in the Santiago area and would gladly recommend them to anyone seeking the same.
