Worst experience of my life
The owner of this company told me it was too bad and he would not reschedule me because my daughter was throwing up and had a fever. Buyer beware good luck if there’s an emergency and you need any kind of helper support after multiple ignored phone calls.

No
I don't recommend it. The guide and driver were cool, but we had to rush from place to place, everything was crowded, and the hot springs were a bad joke. You drive forever, the views are nice, but the hot springs themselves were sad to use and behold. The lowest two pools were completely empty because they were freezing, no kind of heating, towel, or drink service for when you get out, and the changing rooms were dark and frigid. The people who run it seem to just want a quick buck because they charge almost nothing to get in and deliver almost nothing in return.
Response from the operator: We feel happy to know we tour was good. the hotsprings are on the middle of nowhere, 2500 msnm on the deep andes, you can't wait a bar or other services, in the middle of nowhere, but well, the espectations of a rural aventure, it can't be a resort on the higest andes. For the next Time o suggest yo read More about your destination, AND ir you want a resort on the andes, you have to lookking for that, not for a natural tour, with natural hotsprings of an Active Vulcano, un the middle of nowhere, and for go to the VOLCANO HOTSPRINGS you need to Drive A LOOOOT. This are natural, rural, FAR AN WILD HOTSPRINGS Sr.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 23 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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience?
+
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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience?
+
Around 8 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience 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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience?
+
Included: Private transportation; Snacks; and Ticket Hotsprings. Not included: Snow clothing; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 296 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, 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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience?
+
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 Full Day Volcano Hot Springs Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
