Cajón del Maipo Day Trip: Hot Springs, El Yeso & Picnic from Santiago

The minivan peels away from Santiago and the city’s concrete hum gives way to a narrowing valley: rivers begin to speak louder, and the Andes push the sky into a steeper blue. On this full-day excursion travelers move through the carved corridors of Cajón del Maipo—past shuttered railway tunnels and terraced farming plots—until the mountains open to thermal pools steaming against the cold alpine air.
