Puntos a tomar en cuenta para el tour: 1- En Farellones es donde encuentran las actividades de nieve, subir a Valle Nevado es de miradores y profesionales de ski. Por lo que si se quiere ir principalmente a hacer actividades recomiendo que se bajen en Farellones y no ir hasta Valle Nevado para poder disfrutar más tiempo en el parque. 2- No ir los dias viernes, sábado o domingo porque son los dias en los que se encontrarán más personas en el parque y puede que no alcance el tiempo de hacer todas las actividades por las filas. 3- Tener en cuenta que la entrada al parque no está incluida en el tour

The scenery is spectacular!! It is worth all the way. The guide provided Chilean history information. There was some traffic in the way up due to an accident but when we finally arrived we enjoy a lot the time we had at the Laguna Inca

It was a wonderful day in the snow!! It snowed the day before so the snow was fresh and fluffy!! Aug 15th is a holiday in Chile so the road up was very busy but the guide gave us more time to make up for the traffic lost time.

I loved ! Super friendly! It is a safe tour, the I went gives you a lot of help, he has a lot of patience, I highly recommend it !!!

Great experience. Our tour guide Isabel was wonderful. Really enjoyed the wine tasting at the end of the tour.
