El Manzano Caves

This Andean experience offers the opportunity to witness diverse views of the Maipo Valley and the expansive Andes Mountains. The main attraction of this route is its eccentric rock formations, comprised of limestone that has eroded over thousands of years, creating a unique natural cave complex.

As you embark on your trek, you’ll find yourself immersed in native forests and surrounded by breathtaken mountain landscapes, with the towering peaks of the El Manzano range rising on all sides. As you hike along winding paths, you will encounter a variety of natural features, including towering limestone cliffs and lush evergreen forests hidden on their steep slopes.

As you near the caves themselves, the landscape becomes even more otherworldly with its narrow passageways and sculptural rock formations. After hiking 2.8 miles and having reached an altitude of 5,420 feet, we will enjoy a delicious lunch while contemplating the Andean scenery from inside one of these countless caves, formed by the action of water, wind, and ice over the years.

Overall, a trek through El Manzano Caves is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is sure to leave you with memories and impressions that will last forever. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a first-time explorer, this incredible natural wonder is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.
