We had such a wonderful time on this tour. The morning pick up worked flawlessly, the drive was comfortable and the views alone were worth the trip! Jaime was a great guide, always patient to answer questions and told us fascinating information about the region. Stops included a little village, where we could explore and have lunch, the lake and mountains and a wonderful picnic with a view of the scenery at the canyon. Overall we had a wonderful day!

The places we saw were beautiful, so we were pleased. Our “guide” did not say anything for over two hours other than “we will stop for a bathroom and breakfast”. There was no commentary about the areas we passed, the economy, industry, geography, etc. He actually said very little the entire day. The first stop we made had two toilets - none flushed and no running water to wash our hands. The “picnic” snack stop had no water after a long time without stops or opportunity to purchase water. Jaime was a great driver, but not a “guide” - I’m a tour guide, and I tell my guests all about where we are visiting and make sure everyone is having a great time. We still give this a 4 rating as the views and beauty surpassed all expectations.

A fantastic experience! The only criticism is that for those that know their way around Santiago the early morning hotel run around is a bit taxing. Would be good if there was an option for a metro station pickup a bit later. Other than that- a fantastic trip, bring swim costumes for the dam as you are allowed to swim! Very much recommended.
