    Walk among the Andes and the Condors

    Andes Explorer should really get all 5 stars! The trip was well organized, Matias was a reliable communicator and Nicolas a fantastic guide: Immensely knowledgeable and obviously caring for the nature and outdoors, friendly and very much focused on tailoring the experience to my interests. Unfortunately the weather forced a change of location for our trip, and there, we did not have enough snow to actually need the snow shoes. As I was the only customer for the trip, we ended up with a fairly short hike and some time left over which Nicolas used to take me to a different place to search condors. We found them, soaring overhead, and I was able to add this unexpected experience to my trip. I would like to sign up again with Andes Explora for the actual snow shoe hike we had originally planned but were unable to complete... or any other of their offerings. I am sure it will be a 5-star experience. Both Nicolas and Matias speak perfect English, hotel pick-up was on-time, and the provided lunch was very good and included a few local snacks I later bought again to take home.

    Response from the operator: Thanks! We appreciate your feedback. We sorry the conditions of snow weren't the best. We had the driest winter in the last 100 years... We are glad you have a great experience anyway and hope to see you soon enjoying nature again with us. Kind Regards Matias

    Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral cost?

    +

    Prices start at $221 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 Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral 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 Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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 Private Andean Snowshoeing, 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 Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral 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 Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral?

    +

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Andean Snowshoeing, 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 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.

    +

    Is Private Andean Snowshoeing, Carbon Neutral wheelchair or stroller accessible?
