Cajón del Maipo Private Tours from Santiago

Mountains, turquoise water, natural hot springs and snow in the Andes, on a private tour from Santiago.

Cajón del Maipo is a deep canyon in the mountains with rivers, snowy peaks and villages like San José de Maipo. Our private Cajón del Maipo tours take you to its most striking spots, with hotel pickup and a vehicle just for your group.

Choose from three day trips. The El Yeso Reservoir tour, with turquoise water at around 2,500 m (8,200 ft) and a picnic with a toast facing the peaks. The Valle de Colina hot springs tour, with 2 to 3 hours in natural thermal pools. And the Premium Experience, a full day with breakfast on board, a buffet lunch and a sauna or hot tub.

All three share the valley's classic stops: Casa de Chocolate, El Tinoco tunnel, San José de Maipo and the San José volcano viewpoint.
