“Este passeio foi maravilhoso. Foi minha primeira experiência com a neve e não poderia ter sido melhor. O motorista Juan nos conduziu cuidadosamente até as montanhas, motorista experiente. A guia Nicole nos levou até o Valle Nevado, depois fizemos uma parada em um local bem aberto, com área para andar de trenó e brincar muito na neve. Depois, fomos até o Povoado de Farellones para almoçar, e retornamos para Santiago (busca no airbnb às 5h45, saída das montanhas às 15h e chegada em Santiago às 17h). Vale muito a pena!”

“Farellones park is ridiculously busy and the queues are around 2/3 hours long. The zip line we waited for 3 hours and then had to leave before we went on it as our ski lesson was booked at 2pm. Your ski lesson isn’t pre-booked so all the morning slots were booked up when we got there. The ski lesson and time on the slope was amazing. Also, private transfer in a comfortable car. I just wouldn’t return to this resort or if you are going to make sure it’s not on a Friday or a weekend. Our guide minded our clothes and shoes while we skied, we appreciated this as…”
