Best tour from Santiago - We had a group of 3 with an amazing tour guide who was super knowledgeable about the area. This was my favourite tour from Santiago. The Andes were beautiful and the hotsprings had many temperature options. The snacks and wine at the end were the perfect finish.

4k hike to the volcano and hot springs - Our trip to the volcano and hot springs was amazing. From breakfast overlooking the mountains to the short hike to the stream with lunch included, to the soak in the natural mineral springs and wine after, it was all spectacular! The highlight of the trip was our guide Francisco! He was knowledgeable about all the small villages, people, history and wildlife. He was funny and entertaining. Rarely have we taken a tour where the guide checked all the boxes! Great job Francisco!!

Definitely worth it! - This full day tour was a great way to escape the city and get out to the mountains! While the drive was rather long, it is well worth it. There is a shortish hike to a mountain stream - it is rather steep in some places but our awesome guide and driver (Jesus and Philippe) brought us hiking poles! We took plenty of rests on the way, and were told about the history and geology of the area.
Next we drove a little further up the mountain road to the hot springs, which was a really cool thing to get to do. There are multiple pools with increasing temperatures, and you go from coolest to hottest and then take a cold shower to end. I highly recommend this unique experience (unique if you live in the mid-west of the US like I do!)
Jesus and Philippe brought sandwiches for us - accommodating a variety of dietary needs - and a surprise snack for after the hot springs!
I booked this on a whim and am pleased with the value and dedication of our guides.

Perfect day trip - Really enjoyed the beautiful nature and relaxing in the hot springs. Was a perfect day trip to relax after an intense work trip. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable - he shared many interesting facts about the geology, species native to the area and local culture. Stopping at a scenic spot for wine and snacks was very nice. Very impressed with how good the sandwich we were given was and the van we were transported in was very comfortable.

Best Tour - The Volcano hike and hot springs tour was memorable! Gonzalo and Francisco were so helpful during the hike in the snow. The views from up top were majestic! The hot springs was the perfect way to end the trip. What made this extra special, was we had the best small group that ended up feeling like a family. We got to know each other well on the ride back to the city.

Breathing taking sights - Went late Fall, weather is on the cold side but luckily clear skies. Views were breath taking as we can see snow and ice in the Andes and the rivers we walked by hike was about 4 miles so not too bad with okay level of fitness. Hot springs were also amazing as we went after most other tourists had left. Definitely a great way to finish off the guided tour. Strongly recommend!

Fun Day Trip - We had a fun and active day with our guides Sabastian and Juan. They were knowledgeable and friendly and made for a great time with the other 3 couples on the tour. The hike was beautiful and the hot springs were a great way to relax. They had a great spread of snacks, treats and wine when we returned to the van. Our driver was great as well. Only complaint from the day would be the traffic returning to Santiago but that’s just crazy rush hour and unrelated to the tour. Overall we had a great time.

A memorable day!!! - We had an excellent experience with Andoandes tour company. The owner Ando, Juan our guide & Phillipe our driver took care of every detail, they were engaging & informative with all members of our group, also our guides spoke good English. The volcano walk was amazing, views you won't see from the road, the four of us, all around 60 years old, had no problems navigating the trek. At the halfway point, we had a light lunch & had time to explore on our own. We were happy that we did the hike and not just the hot springs. Now the hot springs, another great experience, the six springs start with the coolest temperature at the bottom and increasing with the elevation. We met some very nice Chileans there who were also visiting, there are change rooms, bathrooms & showers. Then Ando had a chacuterie board with red wine & non alcoholic drinks. A great time to talk with them and share our day with all the people on our tour. A shout out to the people from New York City, Minnesota & Florida, we are from the Niagara region in Ontario, Canada. Thumbs up to our driver Phillipe. I strongly recommend this tour with andoandes.cl a day we wont forget.

A great day out - The hike and hot springs tours was a day well spent. The drive out to the mountain was quite long and curvy, so I would recommend bringing travel sickness tablets to make the journey more comfortable. The hike itself was incredible. The hot springs was a relaxing way to end the day followed by some snacks before we headed back. Would definitely recommend this tour.
