This Santiago tour begins at 9:00 a.m. when you're transported to the small town San Jose de Maipo to pick up some food for your journey. After this quick pitstop, you'll continue on to Banos Morales, a town that's known for its soothing hot springs. From here, you'll start your trek through the Andes.
