The nature is breath taking. Edison is an excellent guide, informative and respectful. Highly recommend and ask for Edison.

All of the sights were SO beautiful!!!! I highly recommend taking all the photos you want during the nature stops because after lunch there really isn’t any more opportunity. I appreciate the pacing of the stops; it was just enough time to enjoy without becoming bored. For the hot springs, bring a towel and possibly sandals. There are showers so maybe bring some soap if you want to properly wash off. Also a plastic bag to hold your wet clothes. I went solo and from that POV I wish the guide was a bit more active in creating camaraderie amongst us on the tour. He was a bit distant, but maybe he was having a day. Overall, great tour! I recommend :)

Was really good. The guide Iván were spectacular. All activities was amazing, the price is good and the people are very kind and gentle.

A beautiful place! The guide and group were excellent and made it a fun experience. There were several stops (and some I would probably have skipped if given the choice) but it’s a nice way to support the local communities and you’re not forced to buy anything. The communication the day before to organise pick up could be improved (beware that my pick up time was around 5:30am which was an hour earlier than the window advertised!)

A fabulous trip with stunning scenery. Edison was our guide, a great character with endless knowledge.

Braulio was excellent in getting us there and back. It is an amazing trip with views that I will never forget plus the stops for Neal’s and good were excellent. The final stop that provided us a taste of the Chilean culture and dancing was excellent… I would recommend this trip 100%

Great tour for a fair price. Almost full day tour. Up to 17 people buses. Friendly stuff following the timeline. Good overall experience

What’s great is the tour takes you right to the edge of the reservoir with sufficient time for pictures and taking in the scenery. We were blessed with the weather and some fun facts on the way about the mining industry and agriculture and the driver was fun and joked around. As to the rest, I wouldn’t choose it again. Our pickup was delayed. The tour had stops not exactly specified in the itinerary, most of them in tourist traps. The place for breakfast and lunch is not only extremely expensive, but also not good. For reference, the coffee is 5000 CLP for something that comes out of a powder. The “picnic” isn’t actually in at the reservoir as the pictures suggest, but in a different location with a little dance demo, and consists of some cold cuts, cheeses, and a bottle of wine per group. I’d describe it more as a welcome drink. It also comes at 2pm, which is quite late if your pickup is at 6am. All in all, this should be half a day at most, instead of the total 9h we spent. I’d happily pay more to skip all the extra traps.

Mountain views are really amazing and worth the trip. Also loved the historical context about Santiago and Chile in general. Did not necessarily feel it was worth a full day outing - especially after the Andes part, but that may have just been us. Everyone else was enjoying the full day. It’s also a very early start which is understandable but suggest not scheduling anything else for the day because you only return to the city around 17:00. Dress very warm - the morning is especially cold but generally gets much warmer in the day.

It was an enjoyable and informative tour. Scenery was fantastic. Would have been better with a separate tour guide but the driver did a good job with giving enough information about the places. The picnic lunch was basic but enjoyable with the cultural show. Vehicle wasn't the most comfortable but the roads near the top of the mountains were in a very bad condition
