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.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the entire experience, from the early morning pickup to the hike itself. It’s great to know that Patricia helped make the journey even more special by sharing her knowledge about the region along the way. The Andes truly offer a unique setting, and we’re glad you appreciated both the scenery and the balance of the hike. As you mentioned, the first section can be a bit rocky, but it usually becomes more gradual and enjoyable as you continue into the valley. We also love hearing that you enjoyed the small details like the breakfast stop, the riverside lunch, and the well-deserved snacks and wine at the end. It would be a pleasure to have you join us again for another adventure in the mountains. Warm regards, Ando Andes Team

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.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that your day hiking in the Maipo Valley with Gonzalo was such a memorable experience for you and your family. The Maipo Valley has a special way of surprising people — from the beautiful Andean scenery to unexpected moments like sharing the trail with a herd of goats! We’re especially glad Gonzalo helped make the day so enjoyable. Our guides love sharing their knowledge and passion for the Andes, and it’s great to hear that it made the experience even more meaningful. And we’re happy you enjoyed the little surprise waiting at the van after the hike — we think a day in the mountains always deserves a nice ending. Thank you again for choosing AndoAndes to be part of your adventure in Chile. We hope to see you back in the Andes someday!

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.

We’re truly happy to hear that the hike was the highlight of your time in Santiago and such a memorable introduction to the Andes. It’s great to know the balance of the route, the scenery, and the small-group experience all came together for you. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Rafael and the rest of the team — they’ll really appreciate it. Ending the day with wine and snacks in the mountains is one of our favorite moments too. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to the Andes someday.

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.
