I recommend the Chilexplora as your option to explore around Santiago. They really know everything about the trip, and give a good explanation during the trip. Great service as well!

Our guide (Paulo) and the driver/photographer were also fun to be with. The lunch snack at the roadside house was delicious and plentiful. I also enjoyed the company of the other people on the tour.

  We booked the night tour to the Colina hot springs in Cajon del Maipo. Communication via email with chilexplora was great. Price is extremely reasonable given the very long drive... read more and late hours. I think we got back around 2am. The price includes the transportation to the hot springs, entry fee, water, and light snacks. Make sure you eat before if you think you will get hungry. Our guide, Juan Pablo, was very friendly and loves nature. He showed us his favorite hot spring pool and we found it was perfect for us. The hot spring pools were less crowded at night and the stars were beautiful.

The ride to the area is a nice change from city landscapes. You pass through a lot of cute towns. Just beware it can be a 3+ hour drive one way from Santiago city depending on traffic, weather and light conditions. Take meds if you are prone to motion sickness. The last part of the drive is pretty bumpy since you are literally driving through a mountain to get to the hot springs.

  This is a must in Santiago, very close to the city but immersed in the unbelievably and beautiful Andes Mountains. Baiting in the hot springs is a fantastic moment!

She contacted me the night before making sure we understood everything and were prepared for our trip. I enjoyed the little cafe they took us to for breakfast and the home they brought us to for dinner. Of course, the hot springs were very soothing and had an amazing view!

**NOTE FOR WINTER TRAVELERS** We traveled in the beginning of July. The host contacted me the night before warning me about having to hike the last 5km to get to the hot springs due to recent snow making the road impassable by car. There was an option to rent a snow vehicle as a ferry between the base camp and the springs, but that broke down the day before so we didn't get that option. As someone from sea-level with almost no hiking experience/aptitude, the hike was very slow but it was not super challenging. It took approx. 2-3 hours to hike to the springs, and the snowy Andes landscape was quiet and beautiful so it was an overall enjoyable hike. The most difficult bit was the last slope up to the hot springs! If you're visiting in the winter, you can rent snow gear at the cafe you visit for breakfast (I rented snow boots, which I found very helpful).

Talking with the host, in the summer it's possible to drive the road all the way to the springs. But as a result, the hot springs are much more crowded during the peak season (like waiting in line to fit in a pool). So if you're looking for a more relaxing experience, you have to earn it at the end of a beautiful hike!
