Santiago
This is the perfect trip if you want to see the Andes without too much physical effort. It is a half day trip, mostly a road trip with a couple of short walking to great lookouts. We are going to plant a native tree in Patagonia for each member of the group while you are hiking in order to compensate the co2 generated.

View of a lifetime - The most amazing trip to the Andes. Our guide took us to a remote part where we saw many many condors. We hiked the grassland to admire the flower and fauna. A fox even spied us. And a roaming horse befriended us.we then sat down with wine and a bountiful tray of cheese et al. Best was the 360 view of the Andes all by ourselves!!. No one. Just us and the view. Ps our guide was amazing...but i forgot his name

Quick trip into the Andes - We wanted to get out of Santiago to go into the Andes, but didn’t have a lot of time. Our guide Nick, took us to 3000 meters where we saw condors and then had an absolute blast drinking wine and eating cheese and crackers, looking out over the mountains. Nick was the best tour guide, who knows perfect English and haves Ua insights into so many things. I really recommend this tour!!

Really a Highlight of our Trip - This is one tour you don’t want to miss. Matthias was a fantastic guide and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. He is very knowledgeable about Chile and well versed in navigating the Andes. We made a few stops prior to our wine and cheese stop where we saw condors and beautiful landscape. Our wine and cheese stop was at a secluded area with just Matthias and my wife. We spent the rest of the afternoon with great wine, cheese and conversation. Definitely a highlight of our time in Santiago.

Condors in the Andes - This was an excellent trip into the Andes by a very knowledgeable Guide called Nicholas. We were lucky enough to see a Grey Fox, Condors' and a Chilean Eagle.
Nothing was too much trouble for our guide and we were treated to drinking red wine with cheese and biscuits high up in the Andes surrounded by beautiful scenery and absolute silence.. It was an amazing visit.

Everything - A truly wonderful day. Our guide Nicholas was friendly, informative, had great knowledge about flora, fauna, wild life and location. A delightful picnic whilst watching Condors above was the 'icing on the cake. Thank you Nicholas

We saw Condors! - We saw condors! It was a long drive up a winding mountain road, but worth it to see condors in the wild. The trip was capped off by a fabulous snack of cheese and wine, with 360° views.
