Tunel Ferroviario del Tinoco
When we visit the Tinoco Tunnel we are always curious to go through it, since when looking at it from the inside, its end cannot be visualized. You can only "see the light at the end of the tunnel", from the middle of the tunnel onwards. Once inside, in complete darkness and deep silence, only the waters inside the mountain can be heard draining at times and the presence of the souls that inhabit this place makes us restless and nostalgic. The scratches, the loneliness and the presence of Willy's soul at the exit of the tunnel invite us to reflect.

Breathtaking Waterfalls
The waterfalls were breathtaking! I love looking at the snow covered mountains and watching the water flow from the streams. This is a tour that you must take in Chile. We had plenty of stops and the tour guide Yahir was awesome.

Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 276 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic?
+
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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic?
+
Around 97 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic 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, Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic?
+
Included: Snacks (Picnic done at the end of the tour); Wine tasting; and Beverages. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 117 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic 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 Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic?
+
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.
What happens to Nature's Bliss: Cajon de Maipo & Melosas with Picnic if the weather is bad?
