Great experience with AMAZING views! - I highly recommend this experience! It was definitely not something that we could have done on our own. Our guides were so friendly and shared interesting information all throughout the experience. They provided us with everything that we needed to be successful on the snowshoe experience. The views were simply incredible. I also appreciated that the guides purposefully took us to an area where there weren’t other people, so it didn’t feel crowded.

Amazing views! - There was not enough snow for snowshoeing but we still had an amazing time! Our guide Rai made sure we had the best time and even surprised us with charcuterie and wine at the end of the hike!

AMAZING HIKE AND GUIDE! - I had a fantastic experience with Ando Andes snow-hiking yesterday. They were punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Victor, our guide, was amazing! He explained to us everything about the geological formations of the Andes as we were driving up and told us some really cool and interesting stories about this mystical place. He always made sure we felt safe and was able to accommodate ours needs. There were some breathtaking views of the mountains and the stops we made for photos were fab, too! The place where we had breakfast and an empanada before and after the hike was really charming. Overall, they provided such an outstanding service! I've been living in Chile for the past 4 years and this tour made me fell in love with Chile all over again. I totally recommend it!

A great trek with encouraging and friendly guides - We cannot recommend Bernie and Ema enough when it comes to a trek to the Andes. While challenging, the trek was made easier with breathtaking views and regular stops for photos. The little breakfast break and post trek wine and cheese snack were also lovely experiences to bookend our day out in the andes.

AMAZING - Berni was a wonderful guide and a great photographer! She was full of helpful information about the region and Santiago itself. I would recommend her and this tour to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Andes as a day trip from Santiago.

Great hicking experience! - It was exactly as described. The rock formations, the snow, the beautiful landscape, the view of the volcano, everything was just right. I would say the trekking on the snow requires a physical effort but it is not too hard. We had breaks with reasonably frequency and the guides, Francisco and Víctor were just awesome. They do love their job. Ask Victor about the penguins ;-)

Mountain trek through Cajon de Maipo - Fantastic day spent with tour guides Berni, Victor and Nico!! Spent a few hours trekking through the terrain of Cajon del Maipo and experienced a very unique heavy snow shower, it was a great adventure for sure. The guides were very safety conscious and decided to cut the trek a little short due to poor visibility which was good idea. We then headed to a valley to witness some waterfalls surrounded by large rock formations eroded by glaciers giving them a smooth and curvy appearance. Finished to day off with some vino tinto and antipasto which was great.
Awesome experience for the adventurous type.

So so - Scenery was beautiful and comfortable ride/van. They picked a great restaurant to stop at for us to buy lunch. Booked for an English tour. The guide did speak ok English but the rest of the tour was Spanish speaking so they were talked to most of the time. 15 min Spanish, 5 min English.
