Great views of the Andes to the east and amazing views of the Santiago Valley and city to the west. Native flora and fauna. Intense steep hike of 3 hours up plus 2 hours downhill. Our groups are small and we respect the speed of the group. Reach summit is not necessary to enjoy the amazing view and enjoy the surroundings. We are focus in the experience not just the summit.

Puerto Chacabuco environs tou
The tour of Puerto Chaco, Buco, and the surrounding territory was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the glaciers, the mountains, and the waterfalls. Our guide, Mariana spoke good English, but she had to read many of the informational talks. There were several people on the tour who couldn’t seem to be satisfied with any alternatives that meant the group was not very congenial. The driver was excellent. he managed to navigate very narrow and difficult roads.

Memorable escape from the city
I (34 f) really enjoyed my hike up Alto del Naranjo. I’m from a sea-level city so I don’t get much opportunity to hike, but I try to keep in shape. The most challenging bit for me was the ascent due to altitude but it was totally doable by keeping a sustainable pace. There are parts that looked intimidating at first but again if you’re in shape and willing to try, you’re in for an enjoyable experience. Martin was an outstanding guide. He pointed out condors, hawks, and other birds and he had a lot of insight on the area. (He and his dogs do the trail regularly - sometime at dusk!) I could not have asked for a better companion - a massive and heartfelt thanks to Martín for helping me reach the top! Aside from the breathtaking view we also saw cows and horses. We had perfect weather. The previous reviews made me nervous about the hike down but that was a breeze. I fell on my butt twice and knee once, but nothing painful - made for a good laugh. Would totally recommend this hike and Martin to anyone who asks.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, Catherine! While this trail is considered relatively easy by locals, we understand it can feel more challenging for visitors, especially those from rainy regions with solid terrain or areas that are flat or at sea level. Our private trips are designed to let our guests hike at their own pace, with the flexibility to turn back at any time. We emphasize enjoying the journey rather than focusing solely on reaching the summit, believing that embracing the present moment is the best way to experience any adventure. We hope to welcome you back soon for more trips with us!

A challenging hike with amazing views.
Great trip. My guide, Frank, made sure everything went well and that we were moving at a pace I was comfortable with. The hike is definitely a challenge but manageable if you're in good condition. And the views as you get near the top make it all worth it. I'd definitely recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We encourage our guides to embrace the pace of each traveler and to share the joy of being in the mountains, rather than creating the feeling of a race. We’re so glad you enjoyed the views and fully embraced the experience!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral. cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral. 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 Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral. 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 25 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 Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral.?
+
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 Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral.?
+
Around 9 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 Half-Day Private Andes Hiking Tour from Santiago, carbon neutral. 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.
