Discover the magnificent Andes Mountains on a guided day trip from Santiago.

Excellent Tour!!! Very complete trip, with a lot of information from our guide, numerous stops to regain strength and beautiful landscapes. The snack by the river was very good! I highly recommend it, and also as I went on a weekday there was no one at the Yeso reservoir, a very enriching and relaxing experience.

Die Tour war sehr gut organisiert. Hat alles reibungslos funktioniert. Gabriel, der Guide war sehr sympathisch und angenehm. Er hat kompetent über die Gegend und Chile informiert. Insgesamt ein gelungener Trip!
