Cajón del Maipo is an Andean valley that follows the Maipo River up into the mountains. Mountain villages, peaks, ravines and fresh air make it the closest nature getaway from Santiago.
With a round trip we drop you off in the valley and pick you up at the time you choose to head back. If you'd rather have the SUV stay with you along the valley to stop at a village, a viewpoint or a hike you've booked yourself, the hourly service is arranged on a personalized basis.

San José de Maipo
The valley's main town, with its square, historic church and local shops.
