Description

This 1-day Del Manzano Caves trek will take you to a land of fascinating rock formations.

Del Manzano Caves are part of the Maipo Valley, located only one hour east of Santiago de Chile. It's famous for its eccentric rock formations and caves, which were formed by the long and powerful erosion process.

One of the best features of this program is the possibility of spotting the mighty Andean Condor, one of the biggest flying birds in the world, capable of fly over 70 kms in one day.

This 6 hours activity will start with an easy walk through the native forest. Then will go up the slope to a higher ground where the rock caves and formations will surround us.

Finally, on the top of the hill we'll find a viewpoint to admire the beginning of the Cordillera de Los Andes and the Torrecillas del Manzano, a classic climbing spot.

Want to join me on this 1-day Del Manzano Caves trek? Send me a request to book this trip and I we'll have a wonderful day out in the nature.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Chile

Mountain guide and instructor from the Chilean Andinism Federation (FEACH) and certified Wilderness First Responder.

I’ve opened several climbing routes in Chile, and was one of the first and very few Chileans to summit Cerro Torre, Fitz Roy, Paine Grande and Torres del Paine.

I climbed almost all the technical mountain in Cajón del Maipo, in Central Chile, and did some of the most important routes in Yosemite, Indian Creek and Patagonia.

And regarding ski mountaineering, I skied down Mount Illimani and Huayna Potosí in Bolivia, and Cerro Castillo, Morado Norte and Sur in Chile.

Nicolas is an excellent guide, with incredible mountaineering knowledge and technique (which was particularly worthwhile during our expedition when we encountered harsh winter conditions). His english is also very good. In short, I recommend this mountain guide.

My trip with Nicolas was perfect. He catered to my climbing preference and the hot springs at the end of day was exactly what we needed. I would definitely do it again! Thanks Nico for my first experience in climbing in Chile!

The guide did not know the route. We spent a lot of time trying to find the route. The climbing itself was good.
