    2. Cajon del Maipo

      Cajón del Maipo is an Andean canyon located 900 meters above sea level. The Maipo River is born as a stream of the mountain range on the slopes of the Maipo volcano, and from this point begins its descent and increase in its flow. Here we will meet the rafting instruction team, who will give us a brief safety talk before starting the activity. After receiving the necessary instruction from the team, we are ready to enjoy 14 kilometers of pure adrenaline

    Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $471 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 Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour 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 Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard, 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.

    What is included in Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour?

    +

    Included: Pick up & Drop off from selected hotels; Accident insurance; and Professional Guide. Not included: Extras not mentioned in the itinerary; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 81 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 Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour 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 Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour?

    +

    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 Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Maipo River Rafting and Paragliding Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
