Six days with Condor Explorer made me a customer for life
I took 6 ski day trips with Condor Explorer and had 6 wonderful experiences. Jesus was my guide, and he was prompt, knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and fluent in both Spanish and English. For example, on a heavy snow day Jesus installed chains on all four wheels of the tour van, even though only two were required. When he saw that a car in front of us was having dangerous trouble with traction, Jesus got out and gave the driver some advice on how to drive in the snow that clearly helped. Later, when he saw that another tour van was having trouble changing a flat tire, Jesus again got out and showed them how to adapt their jack to get the wheel off. He even helped a local business by suggesting that they open early to offer passengers breakfast. As far as I can tell, everybody loves Jesus and I can see why. He's a really cool guy. Jesus is also an expert driver and trained in emergency medicine. Ultimately, I can think of no higher praise than to say that in the Andes mountains I would trust Jesus with my life. When I decide to return to Chile, the first thing I will do is book a tour with Condor Explorer. --- I took six one-day ski excursions with Condor Explorer and had six wonderful experiences. Jesús was my guide; he was punctual, expert, reliable, and friendly, in addition to speaking both Spanish and English fluently. For example, on a day with heavy snowfall, Jesús put chains on all four wheels of the van, even though they were only required on two. Upon seeing that a vehicle in front of us was having dangerous traction problems, Jesús got out and advised the driver on how to drive in the snow, which proved clearly helpful. Later, upon observing that another tourist van was having difficulty changing a flat tire, Jesús got out again and taught them how to adapt their hydraulic jack to remove the wheel. He even helped a local business by suggesting that they open early to offer breakfast to the passengers. From what I could tell, everyone adores Jesús, and I understand perfectly why: he is a fantastic person. Jesús is also an expert driver and has training in emergency medicine. Ultimately, I cannot think of higher praise than to say that I would trust my life to Jesús in the Andes. When I decide to return to Chile, the first thing I will do is book a tour with Condor Explorer.

Response from the operator: *Dear, Friend Bart!* Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review. We are extremely proud of Jesús and his professionalism, from his emergency medical training to his expert driving and his willingness to help everyone on the road. Comments like yours confirm that we’re on the right path. It was a pleasure having you with us and we’d be honored to host you again on your next visit to Chile. Best regards, *The Condor Explorer Team*

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones 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 From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones?
+
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 From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones?
+
Around 1 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 From Santiago : Ski Day in Valle Nevado, Colorado or Farellones 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.
