Glacier Hike
Deep Andes

Deep within the Andes mountains, in the tranquil Valle de la Arena ("Valley of Sand"), are found these beautiful sites. Along our way, we will find majestic mountains, huge glaciers, and feel the unique silence of nature. We end our hike at the great glacier El Morado, and a pristine lake of the same name at the feet of the ancient ice. Located only 2 hours from Santiago, this is one of the most incredible places in the central zone of Chile. Come and enjoy this breathtaking scenery with us!
