Incredible experience, not to be missed! - My partner and I took the 10k Snow Hike day trip yesterday (September 2020) and had a spectacular experience with AndoAndes.
Prior to the day tour, communication with Dani (commercial manager) was superb. The service which was to be provided was clearly explained and messages were replied to promptly.
We received door to door pick up and drop off, breakfast, packed lunch, empanadas and wine/beer/fresh blueberry juice upon return. The valley itself is absolutely stunning and other worldly. Our guides Gonzalo and Sebastian took excellent care of us, their enthusiasm for the activity and looking for puma/Andes Cat prints certainly rubbed off on us! The equipment provided was solid too - it was just a lovely day thanks to the attentiveness and sense of humour of the guides.
We fully intend to excursion with AndoAndean again (ASAP)!

Vulcan SAN Jose -Canjun del Maipo - The best and most fantastic experience we had in Chile.
Spotless, super organized, our driver Manu very nice people.
We were lucky enough to be guided by Francisco who knows all about the mountain and the snow. Fun guaranteed with responsibility and culture of the place.
The place visited is breathtaking, a fantastic view. You'll enjoy the best snow hike that only AndoAndes can do for you in Chile.
Ride worth every penny you paid. I highly recommend it.
