What you'll see and do
Cajon del Maipo
We will arrive at the place at 9:00 am, it is a medium high walk of approximately 3 hours arriving at the Condors viewpoint at 11:30 am with a height of 2031 meters high. We enjoyed this beautiful place in total peace and tranquility watching the Condors fly in total majesty. We enjoyed our traditional cheese board, salami, nuts, cookies. After taking many photos and leaving the place clean, we began to descend, arriving at the vehicle at approximately 4 p.m. then return to Santiago. The other option is just a panoramic walk through the entire Maipo drawer enjoying beautiful views of the Andes mountain range with Condors flying in their habitat and on both walks we will give you a board composed of cheese, cookies, nuts and a toast with 100% Chilean Carmenere wine. On the way back We offer you a restaurant so you can have lunch in total peace of mind and continue enjoying this beautiful place.

Cajon del Maipo
From Santiago we take the route to Cajón del Maipo located to the east of the city. The road runs alongside the Maipo River, crossing different towns with beautiful views and landscapes full of colors. Then we take the road to the maitenes. We arrived at the place and registered at the Mirador de Cóndores Municipal Natural Reserve. We began to climb a hard climb hike between landscapes of the Cordillera, different types of flora and fauna. The sound of the birds surprises us. We continue advancing and the sun and the path give us groups of goats that run through the stream full of vegetation, giving us a break to take beautiful photos and views of the mountain. We reach the highest and final point. 2,010 meters high. There we will prepare our traditional cheese board, salami, cookies, nuts so you can enjoy all that magic. Seeing the Condors fly in their natural habitat is a great gift that the Andes Mountains give us.

unsafe but a wonderful location
Franco was good in difficult circumstances, the destination was truly astonishing. However, the safety of the tour was woeful, and we were lucky to escape unharmed. It was unprofessional which led to the safety concerns. The route was not as described, and we are not sure we even took the right one given the guide had no map. The driver, whilst a lovely person simply could not drive to European standards. Not slowing down for speed bumps, stopping at a green light and driving on the wrong side of the road through mountain roads with trucks likely to be coming in the opposite direction.
Response from the operator: Es un lugar bello y majestuoso. Este año el lugar fue entregado en concesión Municipal. Lo cual permitirá una mejoría total de la ruta. Eso quiere decir que estará todo muy bien demarcado y delimitado. Es una ruta extrema-difícil pero el premio de disfrutar y llegar a esa cima es impresionante. Sobre la carretera es un camino asfaltado y bien delimitado con mucha informacion sobre el transito de camiones de las diferentes minas que operan en el sector. Le estamos agradecido por sus comentarios para mejorar nuestra calidad de las experiencias.

Exhilarating and Memorable
Our guide was fun, funny, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make the experience a memorable one. We wanted to get a taste of the Andes Mountains and do some hiking. It was exhilarating! And topped off with a lovely Charcuterie Board at the summit. Many Thanks for making our last day in Chile so beautiful and fun.
Response from the operator: Estamos agradecidos por habernos dado la oportunidad de mostrar las maravillas de nuestro País. Vivimos para eso. Les daremos sus saludos cordiales a nuestro Guía.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 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 Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo?
+
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 Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo 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 24-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo?
+
Around 1 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Viewpoint of Condors Cajón del Maipo 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.
