Enjoy this spectacular trip to “El Morado” Natural Monument National Park, located at 93 kms (57 miles) from Santiago. The starting point of the hike is in Baños Morales, a mountain village at 1,900 meters of altitude (6,200 ft). The trail leads to the beautiful San Francisco Glacier lookout at 2,500 meters (8,200 ft) and the Morales Glacier lagoon. During the hike we will have a refreshing stop at “Aguas de Panimávida”, iron-rich carbonated waters that directly spills out from the earth.
Difficulty level is HIGH. This tour is recommended for people in good physical shape. The first hour of the hike is steep and then it becomes flat. The difference of altitude is of 600 meters (1,900 ft).

This was the highlight of my trip to Chile and one of the greatest outdoor experiences of my life. The tour started on time, the tour group was in regular contact with me leading up to it, the driver and the guide were extremely friendly and both spoke perfect English. The location was absolutely beautiful. The hike was intense and satisfying. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I loved it so much.

We got “lucky” because it snowed the day before our hike, so the views we had were spectacular. We had to modify the original hike in order to be safe, but it didn’t detract from the beauty or the experience. We had a nice surprise following the hike with wine and snacks overlooking the Volcano. This trip did not disappoint, and I highly recommend it. Juan was a fantastic guide, and we loved this tour.

This was one of the hardest but best things I have ever done. The road was shut due to a landslide so we hiked a different area. You need to have a good level of fitness but the reward of the views, mountainous scenery and the glaciers themselves is just amazing. Our guide Niko was outstanding and as well as having such great knowledge of the area he made the day fun and gave us a wonderful surprise at the end which finished our day perfectly. Andoandes the tour company were efficient and sent wattsap messages the day before confirming pick ups and all were on time. I would highly recommend this trip.

Juan and Eduardo did a good job explaining the surroundings during the trek but also current situation in Chile. I was also lucky enough to have great companions that did the trek with me. I would recommend doing the hike if you’re in Santiago. It’s not strenuous at all

Juan and Eduardo were fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the geology and plants of the area. We had some good discussions about the people of Chile and their politics while hiking in the beautiful Andes. A great experience. I would highly recommend it.

Absolute A+ experience. Our tour guide Juan picked us up on time from our hotel and after a short stop to grab coffee and breakfast, we were on our way to El Morado. Unfortunately, a wildfire in the area had the route closed but Juan quickly adjusted to find us another hiking trail. Juan was friendly, passionate about the outdoors, and so knowledgeable about Chile. Furthermore, he allowed us to hike at a comfortable pace and enjoy the views. Highly recommended—A must if you’re visiting Chile.

The scenery was spectacular. You should warn people that the terrain is mostly loose rocks and hard to negotiate. Both guides were awesome!

Wonderful company that provided calm, beautiful, enjoyable treks! The owner Rai & Sebastian are phenomenal. Super smart and knowledgeable, as well as fun and thoughtful. The food they pack is made with love and DELICIOUS! You can tell they enjoy what they do and love providing high quality, genuine, experiences for their guests. I would tour with them any time!

I had a very great experience hiking to the glacier. Pick up time was very punctual. We’re a small group of two plus our guide, Sebastian, which was super awesome! He let us move at a comfortable pace and we never felt rushed. I really enjoyed my day hiking and talking with Sebastian. I wish they were able to eventually provide more hiking tours like this in the future exploring all the beautiful trails adjacent to Santiago (in a low impact and environmental friendly ways). Highly recommend Ando Andes overall!

We had a great winter hike and would recommend this tour to anyone! We went on a snowshoe hike in the Lagunillas ski area of the Andes. Our guide Rai was fantastic - very knowledgeable about the area, at all times concerned with our safety and comfort, and made us a wonderful picturesque picnic after our hike (wine included!). We hiked with a small group and enjoyed meeting other travelers.
