The Perfect Day Trip From Santiago, Chile

February 21, 2019 · In: Chile , Collaborations

The city of Santiago sits in a deep valley sandwiched between the snow-capped Andes and the Chilean Coastal Range. After spending a few days in the hustle and bustle of the city it was time for me to get a feel for what the Andes—the longest continental mountain range in the world—had to offer. 

I was lucky to find myself in one of the seven South American countries the mountain range crosses, and I wasn’t going to leave Chile without experiencing these mountains.

You can reach the  cordillera , as the range is called in Spanish, in as little as an hour from Santiago, but it can be difficult to get there without a car. After doing some research I found a company called AndoAndes , which offers several day trips from Santiago, Chile for car-less travelers like myself.

The Chilean tour company focuses on connecting tourists to the natural beauty found in the Andes—think glaciers, waterfalls, ancient forests—with a fun roster of nature-filled day trips from Santiago.

The first tour that immediately caught my eye was a 16-kilometer hike through a national park in Cajon del Maipo. But unfortunately the trek was canceled when not enough people signed up. Instead, I opted for a scenic day tour to Embalse el Yeso, an emerald-green reservoir surrounded by white-tipped mountains.

Day Trip From Santiago, Chile: Embalse el Yeso

I met the AndoAndes team at 6:30 a.m. in Santiago. Soon after the exhilarating drive toward Cajon del Maipo, one of Chile’s largest natural areas, began.

The tour guides, Gonzalo and Felipe, were nice enough to stop at a convenient store before heading up the mountains so that our tour group could pick up water, snacks and whatever else we wanted for the day.

San Jose del Maipo: A Quaint Mountain Town

Cajon del Maipo is one of 52 communes that make up the Santiago Metropolitan Region, Gonzalo explained. It was interesting to learn how the country is geographically organized: Chile is a conjunction of 15 regions that are further divided into provinces, which are themselves divided into communes.

Our first stop included breakfast at the small mountain town of San Jose del Maipo. Here I grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant and walked around the town’s main square. After 45 minutes of free time, we were back on the road to our next destination.

Our second stop was an abandoned railway tunnel that is supposedly haunted.

The story goes…

Known as the Ferroviario del Tinoco tunnel, it’s the site of an apparent suicide years ago. A young student named Willy is said to have committed suicide within the tunnel, and to this day, many students walk the pitch-black passageway to reach a memorial on the other side. The memorial is full of gifts from students and others, thanking the young man’s ghost for helping them in school.

Our driver Felipe dropped us off at the mouth of the Ferroviario del Tinoco tunnel, and we were instructed to walk the length of the creepy passage, as it holds a special place in many Chilean hearts.

Five minutes later we emerged on the other side feeling slightly spooked.

Exploring Embalse el Yeso

After this, our journey to Embalse el Yeso continued down a tiny, winding road that led deeper into the mountain range. The longer we drove, the higher the peaks became. Soon the paved road ended, and a ragged dirt path took its place.

I couldn’t peel my eyes off the giants surrounding us; their pastel-colored skin now exposed in the summer sun. I kept thinking that the beauty must multiply in the winter, when their peaks are covered in snow.

We had a quick bathroom break before arriving at the Yeso dam, where we drove to three different viewpoints to escape the large crowd of tourists picnicking at the first stop. Like AndoAndes many companies offer a wine and cheese picnic as part of the tour package, and most of them set up tables at the first viewpoint of the reservoir.

Because it is actually illegal to drink alcohol in public in Chile, my guide Gonzalo explained that AndoAndes hosts their “picnic” at a local restaurant instead.

As we drove deeper into Embalse el Yeso, I became truly amazed at our driver’s expertise in safely guiding our van through the narrow dirt road that connects each viewpoint. Truth is, nothing separated the van from the steep drop toward the lagoon below. Meanwhile, several construction trucks were using the same road prompting the driver to carefully maneuver around them, with little to no space to spare. It was quite the thrilling experience!

The El Yeso lagoon is a spectacular backdrop for photos, and truly worth a day trip from Santiago.

The surrounding Andes and the turquoise waters quite literally take your breath away. Although the rocky terrain was beautiful in the summer, I imagine the scenery must look even more spectacular when the mountains are covered in snow.

Our group was given 45 minutes of free time to roam the area where the reservoir ends, aptly called “The Beach.”

After a couple of more stops at other attractions (at one point we saw a glacier from a distance, as well as a waterfall!), we were taken to a local restaurant for lunch. AndoAndes provided us with a tasty gourmet sandwich as well as an abundant spread of cheese, nuts, salami and olives accompanied by two bottles of Chilean wine.

The picnic truly complemented the tour and was the cherry on top of a beautiful day trip from Santiago spent in the Andes.

Andes Mountains & Winery Tour

$ 598.00 USD

Best of Chile in one day: from the mountains just outside Santiago to a sublime wine tasting at a winery.

• Description

Additional information

Andes mountains & winery tour – best of santiago in one day.

In this carefully selected tour we take you with us high into the mountains just outside Santiago to show you the beauty of the majestic Andes Mountain Range , and finish with a sublime wine tasting at a winery. This is the perfect tour if you like to admire breathtaking landscapes but do not prefer hiking or trekking. Sit back in our comfortable vehicle and let yourself be driven into the beautiful mountains.

In the morning we visit the Farellones and Valle Nevado ski resorts to enjoy the scenery. During the summer, you can enjoy gorgeous views of the mountains and the city. Sometimes we get lucky enough to see Condors up close as they enjoy the quiet terraces of Valle Nevado during the off season!! During the winter, you’ll see the beautiful snowscape, and can fight the cold with a cheeky coffee at the ski resort. Afterwards, we’ll visit one of the last remaining urban wineries in Santiago. The Santiago basin is the some of the most fertile land in the country, and produces exceptional wines. Before starting our winery tour, we have lunch at an amazing restaurant downtown in Providencia. They have a very varied menu, with amongst others confit de canard, warm goat cheese salad, pasta, filets and a large collection of wines!

You will be picked up at 09:00 AM and returned by 18.00 to your hotel. Driving time is 2 hours up to Farellones and 1,5 hour down to Santiago. Then an additional 1 hour from Santiago to the winery & restaurant.

"Spent 2 days with Sebastian on private tours of Valparaiso and the Andes. Both days were amazing experiences. The communication before the tours were prompt and clear. The vans were clean/comfortable with safe drivers. Seb was enthusiastic and full of information. The itineraries included a lot without feeling rushed and the local restaurants he picked for our lunches had delicious food. He was also flexible when we decide to stay longer in some areas, took pics when asked and also brought us to the airport at the end of our tour. I would strongly recommend ILoveChile tours!"

"The guide (Fran) was amazing, unbelievably knowledgeable, personable, local but with excellent English having lived in the US.  She was fun, charming and gave us a really strong sense of local culture and just knew how to organize a very full, rich day, how much to talk how much to let us just enjoy the view. Fran was very charming. She had loads of surprises including a nice wine toast and a spread of snacks for us before we headed back to town." Deirdre Girard, USA - February 2019 Facebook

" Delightful Day Trip to the Andes. Andes Mountains Day Trip: Sebastion and driver Tio provided a delightful day, with great information, friendly and personalized, paced just right. We started with a drive through the city and then up into the Andes Mountains, through small towns and villages, with stops along the way for little treats, and a traditional lunch which was delicious. The drive was accompanied by several genres of Chilean music, which Sebastian chose to give us a flavor of the culture."

Lonettie Matheron, USA  - January 2020

"This is a brilliant tour company and we had a lovely day on the Andes winter route. Fran and Seba are warm, flexible, engaging, and passionate about all things Chilean. Indeed, this day felt like it was spent with local friends, showing us the best of the city’s natural surrounds. A+"
