Unforgettable snowy morning hike with family
We did the family walk and it was an excellent adventure. The agency maintained communication with us before the trip and Laura, our Guide, and Juan Carlos, the driver, gave us a lot of confidence. The excursion was made according to the description, and the effort was made to make everything perfect. The views were amazing and the walk unforgettable.

Incredible experience, not to be missed!
My partner and I took the 10k Snow Hike day trip yesterday (September 2020) and had a spectacular experience with AndoAndes. Prior to the day tour, communication with Dani (commercial manager) was superb. The service which was to be provided was clearly explained and messages were replied to promptly. We received door to door pick up and drop off, breakfast, packed lunch, empanadas and wine/beer/fresh blueberry juice upon return. The valley itself is absolutely stunning and other worldly. Our guides Gonzalo and Sebastian took excellent care of us, their enthusiasm for the activity and looking for puma/Andes Cat prints certainly rubbed off on us! The equipment provided was solid too - it was just a lovely day thanks to the attentiveness and sense of humour of the guides. We fully intend to excursion with AndoAndean again (ASAP)!
Response from the operator: Dear Kyly !! It was a pleasure to take you and coordinate your tour. We appreciate your good vibes and adaptation to the changes we had to make as a result of the pandemic, the truth is that for the boys it was also a pleasure to take them and for me a pleasure to assist you. I hope you can live an experience with us again, you will be more than welcome! We send you a big hug. Dani

The tour is well paced and well organized.
Francisco and Berni served as guides, excellent experience, very well prepared. The tour offers historical background of the Cajon del Maipo area and San José, there are stops for breakfast and equipment rental. The tour is very safe. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por su comentario, el Cajón del Maipo guarda muchas historias sobre la independencia de Chile y sus hermosas montañas! Nuestros guías aman lo que hacen, que bueno saber que lo pasaron increíble!

Vulcan SAN Jose -Canjun del Maipo
The best and most fantastic experience we had in Chile. Spotless, super organized, our driver Manu very nice people. We were lucky enough to be guided by Francisco who knows all about the mountain and the snow. Fun guaranteed with responsibility and culture of the place. The place visited is breathtaking, a fantastic view. You'll enjoy the best snow hike that only AndoAndes can do for you in Chile. Ride worth every penny you paid. I highly recommend it.
Response from the operator: Dear Friend! Thanks a lot for your review! We indeed do a big daily effort to provide the best guides and experience to our clients. We hope yo have you or any of your friends again in our hikes! Have a good day! Best regards, Conti

Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour 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 Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour?
+
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 Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private tour?
+
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 Snowshoeing Hike - Cajón del Maipo from Santiago - Private 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 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.
