Maipo Cajon on tour - The whole trip was very productive... Transportation was from the door of the lodging... Driver Juan is a great host, throughout the tour he showed us his enthusiasm. El Cajon del Maipo is a unique place full of natural beauty... The service value for money is suitable... An improvement to make is to stay longer on the Reservation even if you take time away from other activities.

Cajón del Maipo - My husband and I took the tour to Cajón del Maipo on 22/09/24 and we went with Mario, who was our driver and who guided us and showed us all the riches and history of this tour. He picked us up at the hotel 6am and we made a nice script, (he also brought us back). We passed by to pick up clothes and have a coffee, after that he was showing us the way to the Rio Maipo which by the way is amazing... It snowed a lot in the mountains and it was even more special, we stayed there for a while and after enjoying and taking beautiful photos we went to lunch in a wonderful restaurant too... Mário even took us to the Casa do chocolate where we took a hot chocolate and bought chocolates! It was a complete tour, amazing and our Guide and motorized (Mario) was special too. In addition to all this he even prepared us a table of cheeses, snacks and wines at the end of the tour, this lasted virtually all day, which was very profitable and very worth it! I indicate the tour and I will definitely return to Cajón del Maipo more often when I return to Chile!!!

Thermal baths are worth it - I wish I could give this tour a 5-star review because the thermal baths were absolutely incredible! If this isn’t on your bucket list, it’s time to add it. The view is unreal, and the baths are very relaxing and beautiful. Just an incredible experience. The baths themselves are tiered pools of varying heat. They are natural pools which means that there is mud and a strong sulphur smell. Some pools were very crowded because but after the first 15 minutes, people started spreading out more. We chose this tour over ones that included hikes because my 9-year-old can’t do that much walking. Still, this is not a trip for people with mobility issues. There are steps and railings to get into the pools, but the mud makes the ground slippery and there’s a short hike from where the buses park to where the baths are. I had to knock off a star because of the stops after the baths. Lunch was at a restaurant with a buffet with not very good vegetarian options. They also charged us full-price for one of our kids who also doesn’t eat meat. There is a regular, sit-down restaurant next door, but we were nervous we wouldn’t have enough time for that. After overpaying for the buffet, we went to a chocolate shop. Everyone had to get off the bus and go inside after waiting our turn. Each bus load has there own period of time inside. My gripe here is that the stop was 5 minutes after the buffet. Since we didn’t have a lot of real food to eat there, we mostly ate dessert at lunch. And I wasn’t going to buy chocolate just to have it melt on the bus or along our journey later. Before the drive back to Santiago, we stopped at the coffee/empanda place. Good to have a bathroom stop at this point. Having the afternoon wine was nice, but I would’ve preferred to just return an hour earlier. I guess you need to serve cheese/crackers when serving wine but this was only half an hour after lunch and the chocolate shop. 6:35 am - pickup in Vitacura, we were the last pickup 7:50-8:15 am - coffee/empanada/bathroom stop 8:25 - photo stop 9:10 - photo stop 9:50-noon - termas (thermal baths) 12:55 pm - photo stop 1:30-2:30 pm - lunch 2:35 pm - chocolate shop 3:00-3:20 pm- wine & cheese picnic 5:05 pm - return to Vitacura Last note, although there were very few kids there (and ours were the only ones on this tour), my 9-year-old and 11-year-old loved it.

Awful experience - They canceled the tour very last minute. Then I waste my day due to cancellation. Because I could not book another tour due to last minute cancellation. They didn’t give me alternative options

Irresponsible agency - The tour was cancelled in less than 15hrs, not giving the option of chargeback the money immediately, from this fact, we know that we need to schedule the tours in Chile in advance, because the agencies have a limit of vacancies in their vans, in this way, we were without a ride on the marked day and we had already located the cold clothes. In addition, in conversation with other tours and guides, we were informed, a posteriori, that this tour was prohibited by the local authorities, due to the danger on the highways that go to the scheduled point, generating fine agencies that made this type of transfer, that is, the agency used bad faith, knowing the ban to go to the place, holding our money, and that for now, we were not compensated for the damage. Finally, I paid the ride by PIX and the agency only informed that the refund would be made, not asking for any information from my PIX key and much less data from my bank account to make the refund. TOTAL DECASE WITH THE CLIENT, DO NOT CLOSE WITH THIS AGENCY.
