Andean hike

Elias is an amazing guide, very knowledgable. The hike was made better through his thoughtfullness towards one of the hikers needing a little more time due to the terrain which meant we reached the summit and saw the ancient tree.

Incredible experience - Would highly recommend

The views were really amazing! We were able to take tons and tons of photos at multiple stops along the way. We were also lucky enough to see a couple of condors that came soaring just overhead - a magnificent sight! Our guide Gonsalo was just wonderful - very knowledgeable and so very very helpful - giving a helpful hand in multiple places - both going up and coming down. He was very friendly, courteous and also fluent in English. Lunch was as advertised, very delicious. He took care of our special food needs for lunch and paid attention to our needs.

Professional, friendly and adventurous tour!

Rai was knowledgeable and passionate about his country with exceptional English. Due to weather interruptions, our original plan of doing Cajon del Maipo had to be cancelled. However, Rai provided a great alternative that was well worth it. Our hike with Rai was the highlight of our trip to Santiago. Also worth a mention, the lunch he provided was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Ando Andes to all adventurers.

Unforgettable tour

Best walk of all, we stopped for a typical breakfast ... then we visited a very beautiful waterfall ... the walk was wonderful ... the view of the mountains is impressive and then we went to thermas , with warm water to relax. Unforgettable tour 😊 Our tour guide - May was very attentive. It's very worth it.

Response from the operator: Muito obrigado por seu comentário! Maya é um excelente guia, ela adora montanhas e pode mostrar todos os benefícios da gaveta Maipo! Não há nada melhor para o corpo e a alma do que as excelentes fontes termais após a bela caminhada até o vulcão! Esperamos que você volte a Santiago em breve!

Andes Hike 12k - Private: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.

How much does Andes Hike 12k - Private cost?

+

Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Andes Hike 12k - Private take?

+

Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.

Is Andes Hike 12k - Private worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Andes Hike 12k - Private?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Andes Hike 12k - Private suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Andes Hike 12k - Private?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Andes Hike 12k - Private start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Santiago?

+

On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Santiago?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Santiago?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
