Santiago: Cajon del Maipo Termas Colina Trip

Discover the magnificent Andes Mountains on a guided day trip from Santiago. Pass by the Tinoco Tunnel only from September to December and in the winter months we go straight to the termas and admire the picturesque Cajón del Maipo gorge, and enjoy the Termas Colinas Hot Springs.

Start your tour early in the morning with a convenient pickup directly from your accommodation. Hop into the air-conditioned van and set out towards the Maipo Canyon.

As you travel, admire the wonderful views of this natural landscape full of high mountain passes, lakes, and forests. Hear about the area's traditions and listen to folktales told by your guide.

Along the way, pass the Tinoco Tunnel, a dark, disused train tunnel that runs along the Camino Al Volcán, a remnant from the region's railway days. Listen as your guide tells you about the history of this unusual attraction and the tragic story behind the shrines located at the tunnel's entrance and exit.

Not far from here, you'll reach the Termas Colinas Hot Springs. Relax in any of the seven pools with temperatures ranging from 130ºF to 86ºF, heated by the nearby volcano. Stop here to enjoy a picnic-style lunch (only from September to December) served with a glass of wine and some juice.

Then, sit back in the winter months we go straight to the spa and relax as you set out on your return journey to Santiago, where your driver will drop you off directly at your accommodation.
