Cajón del Maipo is a gorge in central Chile, southeast of Santiago. Encompassing the Embalse El Yeso reservoir and El Morado Natural Monument, it is a popular tourist destination. In this location, we will find perfect vertical walls for climbing and natural hot springs that resulted from the volcanic activity of San José Volcano.

On this full-day trip, we will practice sport climbing in the mountains of Cajón del Maipo and then wind down in relaxing thermal baths. In addition, we will enjoy a delicious appetizer made of local products at the end of the day.

Cajón del Maipo is a really beautiful area. It encompasses many rivers and streams, and impressive peaks like Maipo, Marmolejo and San José. You can rest assured that you will never forget the amazing panoramic views in this region!

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.

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!
