Private Cajón del Maipo Tour: Valle de Colina Springs from Santiago

Natural hot springs at the end of the road, just for your group

This is the private version of the Termas Valle de Colina excursion: a vehicle and guide just for your group, with pickup and drop-off at your hotel or address, with no zone restriction. What the pools and the mountain setting are like is told on the group Termas Valle de Colina tour; here we explain what changes when you go private.

A day on your terms

  • Exclusive vehicle and guide: the excursion is only for your family or group of friends, with no other participants.
  • Pickup and drop-off at your door: we come to your hotel or address in Santiago, wherever it is, and bring you back to the same place.
  • Schedule discussed with you: the base plan leaves at 07:00, but the timing can vary with your preferences. When the coordinator contacts you after booking, you can ask for the changes you want.
  • Time for the hot springs: the plan recommends 2 to 3 hours in the thermal pools, with no group waiting on you.

Stops on the base plan

  • Plaza de Armas of San José de Maipo: breakfast, or buying food and drinks to take along on the excursion.
  • Termas Valle de Colina: a soak in the thermal pools.
  • El Volcán viewpoint: views over the Maipo River, Baños Morales and the El Morado Monument.
  • Lunch: at a restaurant serving typical food, not included.
  • Casa de Chocolate: an artisan ice cream and chocolate shop, before heading back to Santiago.

Extras to build your day

These services are confirmed when you book and are not part of the base price: a 1-hour horseback ride, à la carte lunch, country barbecue, open buffet, a camping night and an SCL airport transfer. Prices are listed in the optional services table on this page.

Weather and what to bring

The excursion runs year-round, weather permitting. Conditions in the Cajón del Maipo change easily: if the road or the weather prevents reaching a stop, the guide uses their experience to decide how to adjust the route. Bring a swimsuit, sunglasses and sunscreen.

How the price works

The price is per person and drops as the group grows: travelling alone is the highest rate and the lowest one applies from five people up. Check the price table on this page for the amount that fits your group.
