Andes Nature Tour
This short overnight trip is perfect to introduce our most important geographical quality: The Andes. You will explore actively the Cajon del Maipo area, leaving town and roads behind; reaching places of silence where, with a bit of luck, you can observe the condors. Here, Cascada has based its outdoor leisure and expeditions center (60 km. from Santiago/1.000 m.o.s.l). The facilities given by Cascada de las Animas, declared Nature Sanctuary in 1995, are designed for groups as well as individual travelers. The many activities offered by Cascada satisfy all interests and range from kayaking, horseback riding, rafting, hiking, climbing, bathing in hotsprings, having a sauna, enjoying the swimming pool, sleeping in charming "cabanas" (cabins) or just sitting and contemplating the wonderful scenery.
This is the perfect itinerary for those willing to leave the busy Santiago and escape to an unpolluted and beautiful resort in the Andes Mountains. Once you arrive to Cascada de Las Animas, a trip coordinator will point out the activities available for the next two day and will help you to select those that match your requirements.
