    Walking in a Postcard

    Hermo was a fantastic guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly loved showing us around the Andes. The views were breathtaking from the top of the mountains! I felt like we were walking in a postcard.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Vera!!

    Great Experience in the Andes

    Many compliments to Hermo for all the attention and professionalism on this tour. I could not have asked for a better guide. The tour was well planned and executed. The snack was a pleasant surprise and could have not asked for a better day and guide to be with.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure guiding you and sharing this experience together. I’m really happy you enjoyed the day and the little surprises along the way. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Chile! — Hermo

    Andes Mountain / Valle Nevado tour with picnic

    Takes about an hour to get up to the Valle Nevado ski resort and then an hour back to Santiago. The picnic was in a very pretty location where we got to see some Andean condors. Just make sure you're in good shape as this tour involves a fair amount of hiking at altitude (~10,000 ft/3000 m). My guide, Leon, did an excellent job during this approximately 5 hour tour.

    Spectacular tour into the beauty and spirituality of the Andes mountains

    Hermo gave us a wonderful tour into the Andes. The mountains were covered with snow and the scenery was spectacular. The vastness of the mountains has a spiritual quality. Hermo found an isolated spot overlooking deep canyons and tall peaks and provided us with a delightful snack of wine and cheeses.

    Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer?

    +

    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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer 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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Brunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Portuguese, English, Italian, French 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 Tour From Santiago with Appetizer?

    +

    Is Andes Mountains Tour From Santiago with Appetizer wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
