A small, private day trip into the Andes canyon of Cajón del Maipo and El Yeso Dam.
A private, guided day trip for up to four people into Cajón del Maipo canyon, with views of El Yeso Dam, Santiago's main source of drinking water.
This private tour is capped at four travelers, keeping the group genuinely small for a day out in nature. You'll head into Cajón del Maipo, the scenic canyon southeast of Santiago known for its rivers and mountain air, with views of El Yeso Dam, which supplies much of the capital's drinking water.

A private, guided day trip for up to four people into Cajón del Maipo canyon, with views of El Yeso Dam, Santiago's main source of drinking water. This private tour is capped at four travelers, keeping the group genuinely small for a day out in nature. You'll head into Cajón del Maipo, the scenic canyon southeast of Santiago known for its rivers and mountain air, with views of El Yeso Dam, which supplies much of the capital's drinking water.
Cajón del Maipo is the steep-sided canyon southeast of Santiago where three Andean watercourses converge to form the Maipo River, the river system that supplies drinking water to the roughly seven million people living in greater Santiago. It's a working landscape as much as a scenic one — a mix of small mountain villages, hot springs, and hiking trails built up along a valley that has quietly kept the capital supplied with water for generations.
El Yeso Dam, the tour's main stop, was built in 1964 by damming the Yeso River at around 2,500 meters elevation, creating a reservoir that holds roughly 250 million cubic meters of water and remains one of the principal sources feeding Santiago's drinking supply. Its startling turquoise color comes from glacial flour — extremely fine rock particles ground down by glaciers further up the mountains and carried into the reservoir in meltwater. Suspended in the water, these particles scatter sunlight in a way that emphasizes blue and green wavelengths, giving the reservoir its vivid, almost unnatural-looking color, especially on a clear day.
Because this tour is capped at four travelers, it moves at a genuinely relaxed pace through a canyon that most visitors to Santiago never see — a different kind of Andes day than the ski-resort routes further north, built around rivers, mountain air, and the engineering that quietly keeps one of South America's largest cities supplied with water.
