    Fall colors!

    Maca was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region. She gave me enough time and space to look and enjoy the art and scenery. Her English was excellent and the tea and snack break was lovely. I recommend!

    Excellent Tour!

    Excellent experience, really very complete and entertaining. It was my first time riding a scooter and they taught me how to use it perfectly, I felt super safe the whole tour. I also highlight the way to relate the tour, super clear and entertaining at all times.

    It's worth the walk

    Last Sunday we had a wonderful family experience! I wanted to emphasize safety first: Macarena and Loreto conduct the tour super well, which was essential for me, since it was my first time on a patin and I was with my 7-year-old son. I liked the care they have in teaching.The trail is full of history, monuments and curiosities about the local nature. The highlight, for sure, is the view of Cerro Calán! It is a sensational view, if you can see the city 360 degrees.We will definitely do it again as soon as possible. In addition to the whole structure, they have 'Brazilian soul'! super recommend!

    Excellent experience and guide!

    Macarena was excellent and took the time to instruct us on how to operate our scooters safely. My husband and I got to have her all to ourselves for 3.5 hr tour and she gave us lots of interesting facts and information at scenic stops along the way. She even brought an authentic Chilean snack for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour!!!

    Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?

    +

    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 Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?

    +

    Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors 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 Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. 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.

    What is included in Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bilingual guide, spanish-english, with first aids certificate; and Segway use. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?

    +

    Meeting point: right outside the entrance of the church, you will find the scooters and your guide wearing a reflective vest (you can arrive by Metro at Los Dominicos station or park there) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for high-risk pregnancies, as the tour requires standing for extended peri. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Andes Mountains: Discover the Magic and Colors?
