Explore Santiago’s natural surroundings and share the experience with fellow travelers

If you have half a day in Santiago and want to explore nature with like-minded travelers, this group hiking experience is a perfect fit.

We’ll meet at our designated meeting point and head just 30 minutes into the foothills of the Andes, where we’ll begin a guided hike of approximately 2 hours.

You’ll ascend 500 meters (1,640 feet) in elevation and hike between 5 and 8 kilometers (3 to 5 miles), enjoying panoramic views of Santiago, the Andes, and the native flora and fauna.

The pace will be moderate and adapted to the group, with stops to take photos, rest, and connect with the landscape.

At the end of the hike, we’ll gather for a cheese & wine picnic featuring local products—an ideal way to celebrate the experience before returning to the city together.

If you or looking for a personalized, professional and fun filled day of hiking while visiting in Santiago, Chile, I would highly recommend Ecordua Tours! Joaquin, Owner of Ecordua, was the best!! He is extremely knowledgeable of Santiago’s beautiful surroundings and all it has to offer. His regard for safety for his clients while creating a unique adventure tailored to my hiking experience was exactly what I was looking for. What a bonus that he offers with his knowledge of local plants, birds, and animals! Fabulous! Thank you Joaquin for making my last day here a most memorable day!
