    Beautiful hike with a great guide, but the tour company could have been better

    Overall, this was a good experience but I find that it could have been better planned and communicated with us beforehand. Let’s start with the great - our guide Juan Paulo was amazing! He knew where exactly to go in the mountains on the trail and prepared very well for the hike by bringing extra food, knowing when to go to the hot springs, when to take a break, etc. He’s a very nice person and we would highly recommend him as a guide to anyone. What could be improved - the person we were liaising with from the tour company was not very responsive and we had specifically requested an English speaking guide as we do not speak any Spanish. We adjusted our travel plans to accommodate for a different hike day to get an English speaking guide and 24 hours before we were informed that the guide spoke minimal English. When I followed up to inquire further, I received no response. The guide ended up being Juan Paulo, who was great, but I walked into the day feeling uneasy at first. In addition, the description of the event mentioned that we needed a moderate level of fitness to be able to do the hike. I tend to disagree with this. It was quite a long trek with a high altitude towards the end and it’s clear that having specialized equipment like hiking poles and shoes would have made things a lot better for us. I believe the tour company could be a lot more specific with the requirements of the hike. Overall, the mountains are still beautiful and the guide we had was great! However, I give this experience 4 stars for the poor communication with the tour company beforehand. Ironically, it felt like we had better communication with our guide who mostly only spoke Spanish. The variety of travelling, I suppose!

    Authentic Andes

    Ramon from Viator agency was relaxed, interesting and a calm guide. We walked for over 5 hours through lunar-rugged landscape with multi-coloured souls to a glacier lake at 3200m. The returned as the hills lit up like gold in the sunset. Wonderful.

    Amazing excursion!! best tour...

    <p>Amazing excursion!! best tour experience I've ever been on, our guide Ramon was very knowledgeable and patient, we are not experienced hikers and with his guidance we were able to make it to the top. This was unlike any other tour I've ever been on, and the empanada lunch was DELICIOUS!! We had a great time and would definitely book an excursion again with this company. </p> <p>Tips for people booking this trip: Bring towels for the hot springs and change for the bathroom at the first stop since it is 500 chilean pesos. There are free bathrooms at the hot springs but they are not in the best condition.</p>

    What a great tour! The sights were...

    <p>What a great tour! The sights were breathtaking and the trip completely amazing. Our tour guide Ramon was terrific and skilled getting us around on the 4X4. It was a long day and not an easy hike, but the destination views were well worth it. Then relaxing in the hot springs to end the day was perfect. I would recommend having people bring their own towel for the hot springs as we were not prepared and had to make do, but all in all a fantastic experience!</p>

    Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance.: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $186 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 Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance. take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance.?

    +

    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 Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance.?

    +

    Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santiago: Full day Trekking to El Morado glacier, include hot springs entrance. 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.
