Tour to Cajón del Maipo: excursion to Embalse El Yeso

¡Your senses will appreciate this experience!

Visit to the Reservoir and the Salto el Yeso + Transportation

Impressive landscape formed by the turquoise waters and the imposing mountains in the background

We will start our tour very early in the morning to enjoy a beautiful sunrise at the El Yeso reservoir. An incomparable setting with the surrounding mountains always covered in a blanket of snow. It is the perfect backdrop to immortalize the moment with a good photograph.

Arriving at the mountain range, we will stop in San José de Maipo to have breakfast and recharge our batteries so we can comfortably climb the demanding 700-meter walk that takes us to the viewpoint from where we'll contemplate the sky reflected in the waters of the reservoir.

Next, we will go to Salto el yeso, a 15-meter waterfall that has a safe observation area. In here we will rest and, if you wish, you can take the opportunity to make your own picnic.

Later we will visit the Tinoco tunnel, built in 1906, through which a small railway used to link the high bridge with the mining town of El Volcan.

We will sweeten our excursion with a visit to the original La Casa de Chocolate ice cream parlor and chocolate shop, which stands out for its exquisite artisan flavors and the architecture and sculptures that adorn the terrace and gardens.

To culminate this experience, we will enjoy the local flavors. Here you can enjoy a delicious lunch based on local cuisine. Not included in the price.
