What makes this experience unique is the perfect combination of adventure, culture and nature in one day. It’s not just about getting to the Mirador de Condors, but living the road accompanied by an authentic Chilean muleteer, following the ancient traditions of the mountain range. Unlike other tours, here you will not only walk, but you will enjoy an unforgettable ride on mountain trails, allowing you to live the experience more authentically and accessible. In addition, you can observe the majestic Andean condors in their natural habitat, something that few activities guarantee with such close proximity. The day includes gastronomic moments that connect with local culture: a country breakfast overlooking the Andes and delicious homemade empanadas in the refuge. All in small groups, with personalized attention from a local guide and in direct contact with nature. It is a complete, authentic and unlike any other experience in Cajon del Maipo.
