Top Santiago Hiking Tours

This will take up an entire second half of your day - from after lunch (eat first!) on to about midnight - and it is very much worth it! The drive out of the city is what it is, but after that the scenery of the entry into and journey through the mountains is fantastic. Francisco was our guide and did a great job answering questions and providing good context for different points of interest along the way. The Chocolate House had terrific ice cream and very rich hot chocolate, which was enough to tide us over for most of the afternoon. After this, the ride is a bit bumpy (any who get carsick should prepare accordingly), but the views you experience and the eventual hot spring are very much worth it. After all else, we ended with some excellent, freshly prepared Chilean BBQ and plenty to drink around a fire and appetizers. The food was delicious, and even though the night was too cloudy to see any stars, we still enjoyed chatting with the others on the trip and admiring the nature around us. All in all, I would’ve paid a higher price for this trip in retrospect. It’s worth every bit you pay and more!
