Excellent - The weather/climate prevented us from reaching the reservoir, but they had an alternative tour that allowed us to see beautiful landscapes and snow without compromising our safety. Otherwise, the itinerary was completed and Felipe, our guide, told us relevant information about the territory and was attentive to our needs or questions. I would hire them again without hesitation.
This route includes visits to different rural points, do not expect luxury services.

Chile Vacations - Enjoying these tours with guide Rocio Leiva was a privilege. We went to Cajon Del Maipo, Viña Del Mar, Valparaiso, Vale Nevado and Farellones. Rocio is always cheerful, presents instructions and information and accompanies us along the way with great concern. We always want Rocio with us!

Visit to the El Yeso Reservoir and the El Tinoco Tunnel - The guide Felipe was super pleasant, as we progressed he was providing information about the area and very talkative, very pleasant during the trip.
Regarding the tour, if it was a short stay at the main attraction which is the Reservoir, it could be that the times are better so as not to be tight or that the arrival is at two central points so you can return a little later. And the picnic could be a little more solid food because perhaps that way it is better divided among the participants and there are not some things that they eat less..

Get into the mountains - Tremendous. You have to live it, and make yourself want more and then hire the hiking course. This one to boot is exceptional. The guide is an expert with all the good vibes. He added his good humor, always with a smile.
