Top of the world - The Andes were great. Francisco was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating of our needs. Plus he provided a very nice picnic by the river

An unforgettable experience - We had an amazing time in the Cajón del Maipo and the Embalso el Yeso. Thanks to our guide, Sebastian, we experienced this area in the best way possible. He shared his expansive knowledge with us, brought us to the best photography spots, made some great fajitas and even organised a picnic. We even saw a condor fly directly over our heads!
We want to thank him one more time for the great time and the good recommendations for our stay in Chile. Best wishes!

Wonderful day! - What a fantastic day! We were a very small group which was like a private tour and our guide Francisco was so informative and helpful and fun. We loved the day in all this beautiful scenery!
