Morning light paints the Andes rim as your van rolls out of Santiago and the city tightens behind you. By noon the Pacific will appear, cool and blunt; by the next morning the road will climb into thin air above Maipo River and deposit you beside El Yeso reservoir at about 3,000 m (9,842 ft). This is a three-day loop that stitches capital culture, coastal port towns and high-mountain scenery into one compact itinerary.

Morning light paints the Andes rim as your van rolls out of Santiago and the city tightens behind you. By noon the Pacific will appear, cool and blunt; by the next morning the road will climb into thin air above Maipo River and deposit you beside El Yeso reservoir at about 3,000 m (9,842 ft). This is a three-day loop that stitches capital culture, coastal port towns and high-mountain scenery into one compact itinerary.
Begin amid the plazas and government palaces of central Santiago—La Moneda, Plaza de Armas and the bell tower of the Metropolitan Cathedral—then move through Bellavista’s colorful lanes to Pablo Neruda’s La Chascona and up San Cristóbal Hill for 360° views via cable car. The second day follows the Maipo Valley road into Cajón del Maipo and up to El Yeso reservoir, where a roughly 3 km shoreline walk shows steep granite walls, glacial-fed waters and the chance to spot condors, eagles and foxes.
On day three the coast unspools: Concón’s wind-shaped dunes, Viña del Mar’s Flower Clock and the tiered hills of Valparaíso—UNESCO-listed for its urban fabric and port history. Concha y Toro winery sits between mountain and city, offering a classic vino-tasting pause.
Practical notes: expect multiple short walks, vehicle transfers of 50–100 km per leg, and significant temperature swings between coast and high valley. Bring layered clothing, sun protection, a good daypack and water. Allow time for photography and light acclimatization at altitude; guides handle logistics and local context so you can focus on the terrain and taste.
The tour is generally suitable for most travelers; it involves short walks in cities, stairs and a roughly 3 km easy trail at El Yeso—no technical hiking required.
El Yeso is around 3,000 m; most people tolerate it if they ascend gradually, stay hydrated and avoid heavy exertion on arrival.
Breakfast is included and a picnic snack is provided in the mountains; other meals and alcohol not listed should be confirmed with the operator.
Yes—hotel pickup and drop-off in Santiago are included; confirm your pickup point when booking.
