Reviews

Absolutely loved this El Yeso Reservoir & Cajón del Maipo tour from Santiago with Best Santiago de Chile Tours. Smooth pickup, comfy van, and a friendly guide who knew geology and local stories. Turquoise water and Andean peaks were unreal. Plenty of photo stops, snacks, and time to wander. Bring layers. Totally worth the early start!

Epic Day at El Yeso Reservoir

Fiz a excursão Reservatório El Yeso e Cajón del Maipo com a Best Santiago de Chile Tours e foi simplesmente inesquecível. Pickup pontual no hotel, van confortável e guia gente finíssima, explicando tudo com bom humor. As paisagens são de cair o queixo: montanhas nevadas e a água turquesa do reservatório rendem fotos absurdas. Teve parada pra lanchinho com vinho/queijo, tempo livre e dicas de segurança. A estrada é sinuosa, então leve um remédio se enjoa. Leve casaco, luvas e protetor solar. Custo-benefício ótimo e roteiro bem organizado. Voltaria fácil e recomendo muito para quem curte natureza.
