My husband and I selected this tour to see the Andes mountains. The tour guide Esteban was very professional, personable and knowledgeable and customized the tours according to our needs and ability. He provided us independent time to be alone and always provided us water to be hydrated sufficiently.
The tour to the Andes was breathtaking and the highlight of our vacation. Esteban suggested to see the waterfalls as well as visit the hot springs. We enjoyed the drive very much. The little town of San Jose del Maipo was beautiful. Then we stopped at the area of the waterfall and hiked to the waterfall. It was breathtaking. We had a little picnic with snacks there and enjoyed the beautiful and refreshing waterfall and the Andes. After we returned to the car, we drove past the gypsum mines to the hot springs. We enjoyed the hot springs very much. We felt it was a miracle to be in the hot springs surrounded by the beautiful mountains. It was a wonderful experience. Esteban was always very patient and helpful as well as always explained details about the areas. The driver Filipe was wonderful as well. We appreciated the driver Filipe for always driving safely for example when the light turned yellow he would stop at the intersection instead of rushing through the yellow light. He always drove within the speed limit. He also contributed to providing valuable information. The tour concluded with a nice Chilean meal in a small town at a beautiful quaint restaurant where we enjoyed delicious empanadas and the baked corn dish.
Thank you for a wonderful day!
