Unmatched experience - They arrived on time, very punctual and totally personalized. Easy and beautiful route, not demanding. We were lucky enough to see condors and lizards. The guide was 10, sack photos and videos spectacular. Very good experience, highly recommended

Amazing - This was such a great day- our guide showed up at exactly the time they said they would and we had the opportunity to stop and get coffee and breakfast/ snacks on the way. The ride was comfortable and Patricia told us about the region along the way. It was an amazing hike and just incredible scenery with lunch by the river. When we got back to the car there were snacks and wine. The hike was not too intense but the beginning was pretty rocky. I would say medium intensity. I would do it again and again- I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful views.

Best Hiking Excursion Ever! - My family and I have been fortunate to explore many different countries and had fun adventures. The day we spent with Gonzalo hiking the Maipo Valley was one of the best excursions we’ve ever taken! Perfect weather, beautiful scenery, and having Gonzalo as our tour guide made it a perfect day. We even hiked back down with a herd of 100+ goats! And the surprise waiting for us at the bus was super special.
If you can spare a day on your Santiago vacation and love to hike, I highly recommend this excursion.

A Perfect Introduction to the Andes! - This hike exceeded my expectations and was the highlight of my time in the Santiago area. It was the perfect introduction to the Andes, with incredible scenery and stunning vistas throughout the day. The route was active and engaging without being overly strenuous — a great balance that left us feeling accomplished while still being able to enjoy the surroundings.
Our guides were fantastic. Rafael, the lead guide, shared so much knowledge about the landscape, geology and history of the area, which made the experience even more meaningful. The second guide was also incredibly kind and attentive, helping make sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and supported.
The day ended with such a thoughtful touch — wine, drinks and snacks while taking in the views. The group dynamic made it even better; it was a small group of seven hikers, which made the experience feel personal and fun.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Santiago who enjoys being outdoors. It’s a wonderful way to experience the Andes in a memorable and approachable way.

Unique experience! - Wonderful! I recommend! No words to describe the power of nature! Being in the midst of the Andes was a unique experience in life! Our guide Andrei was excellent, he had knowledge of history, geology, botany and the animals of that habitat. It was a complete experience in a place full of snow (any Brazilian is stunning) and unique beauties, surrounded by mountains. We get a snack when we get to the mountains, rackets and sticks to walk in the snow. On the return, we were surprised by a special picnic, with delicacies and wine! Perfect day!!! Before the trail AndoAndes was also very attentive, always took my doubts.

Amazing AndoAndes Day Tours - Absolutely incredible day out with Andres and Gonzalo and the other 5 participants. The experience was magical. Nobody else there apart from us. The most amazing scenery. Used snow shoes for the first time. Loved every minute. Cannot recommend this tour company enough. When we got back down from the walk there was a gorgeous table set up with wine, cheese, meats, fruits, crackers etc. The perfect end to the perfect day.
