History
Cajón del Maipo follows the Maipo River into the Andes southeast of Santiago. Mining, mountain routes, hydro infrastructure and small settlements shaped the valley before modern tourism.
San José de Maipo remains the historic service town for the region. Today the valley supports hiking, reservoirs, hot springs, lodges and seasonal mountain recreation.
Why Visit
The tour removes the need to drive mountain roads and combines scenic stops with a relaxed lodge period. A maximum group size of fifteen keeps the format smaller than a large coach.

Opening Hours
Follow the official dated calendar and the time on the voucher. Holiday, weather, maintenance and operational notices can override a general schedule, so recheck shortly before departure.
How to Get There
Meet at Plaza de Armas as stated for this variant and use the included air-conditioned van. This is not hotel pickup; mountain traffic and road conditions affect the return.

Tips
Carry identification matching the booking, arrive early and keep the voucher available offline. Confirm accessibility and any dietary or mobility needs before payment rather than at the entrance.
Average Time
The product states ten hours. Weather, road controls and mountain traffic may lengthen the journey, so reserve the entire day and keep the evening flexible.
Winter Tips
Andes winter can mean snow, ice, closures or altered access. Bring true cold-weather layers and follow operator instructions; never assume a summer route or pool arrangement operates unchanged.
