Cajón del Maipo: valleys, hot springs and mountain lagoons
Cajón del Maipo is the closest adventure-and-nature corridor to Santiago: a mountain valley at the foot of the Andes, with rivers, hot springs and glaciers less than two hours from the city. From there you can reach the El Yeso reservoir, hike to the El Morado Natural Monument, relax at the Valle de Colina Hot Springs, or ride on horseback through the valley.
These excursions depart from Santiago the same day, with transportation and a guide included. If you’d rather go just with your group, these same destinations are also available as a private tour. And if you’re planning your trip, our Cajón del Maipo guide covers how to get there, what to see, wildlife, plants, history and altitude tips.
