Cajón del Maipo: A Must-Visit Adventure from Santiago A trip to Cajón del Maipo and its stunning El Yeso Dam is an experience you simply can’t miss when visiting Santiago. Located about three hours from the city, the journey itself is part of the adventure — winding mountain roads, dramatic landscapes, and breathtaking views at every turn. Before setting off, make sure to check the vehicle restrictions for the season, as they can change throughout the year. A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended, especially for those less familiar with narrow mountain routes. This drive is not for the faint-hearted — it’s as challenging as people say — but the reward at the end makes every twist and turn worthwhile. On your way to the dam, don’t skip a stop at the beautiful Salto del Yeso waterfall. It’s the perfect spot to take a break, stretch your legs, and capture some unforgettable photos before continuing toward the breathtaking turquoise waters of the dam. Cajón del Maipo offers a mix of thrill, natural beauty, and tranquility that makes it one of Chile’s most unforgettable destinations.

If you're going by yourself or a group of friends not on a paid tour, i would recommend walking all the way to the end to see the other side. The best view is on the other side.

Stunning place!!!! Way better than the famous and full of people ski station. The place I have been was totally empty, an amazing silence to contemplate the perfect nature.

Mauricio was a great guide. We were not able to reach the lake because the road was closed due to an avalanche, however Mauricio took us to different places that were also fantastic.
