description
Embark on an adventure into the Andes Mountains! Ascend the mountain range along the narrow dirt road by the Yeso River, reaching an altitude of 2,500 meters. You will learn about the local culture and enjoy the best landscapes of the Andes, with the imposing Marmolejo Mountain—6,000 meters high—the southernmost peak of this height in the world, as a backdrop. This experience is enhanced by a delicious tasting of Chilean wine and artisanal goat cheese, produced by the local herders. The Yeso Reservoir, located within the Cajón del Maipo, took ten years to build and has been in use since 1964. It is currently the main source of drinking water for the Metropolitan Region. We will have a picnic where we can enjoy Chilean wines and cheeses and a relaxing thermal bath.
