Enjoyed my private hiking tour of Cerro Provincia with Nicolás. Nicolás was a knowledgeable guide and shared a lot of interesting information about the trees plants and animals in the area. The hike was enjoyable and challenging but also very rewarding, a nice hike near Santiago.

I went on a tour with Nicolas and originally we were supposed to go to monumento Morado. However the road was closed due to the danger of an avalanche. Nicolas gave me 3 options: 1) take the same tour for free any other day, 2) refund the money, 3) go to a beautiful hime starting near Colorado River. I only had one day to do the hike so I was happy to have option number 3! Nicolas had to think fast and arrange things on short notice. He took me to a beautiful location and I enjoyed an 8.9 mile hike up and down the mountain with beautiful views of the snow covered picks and even one of the volcanoes. Hike was fun, well timed and really nicely paced. We had stops to rest, for pictures or just to enjoy the view. We enjoyed a simple lunch that tasted delicious since we were super hungry! I would highly recommend taking a tour with Coigue Expeditions. My day that started in disappointment was turned into a wonderful hike and memorable experience that I would remember for a long time!
Many thanks and I will go on another one of your tours if I am back in Chile!

I went on this tour with Nicolas as my guide and it was an awesome day of snow shoeing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the mountains and seemed to know exactly how to let me go at my own pace without letting me slack off too much. It was a massive day of stunning views, amazing natural colours, laughter and knowledge sharing. Also, 11 hours was (somehow) the perfect estimation for duration - I was back in my hotel at 6 24pm after leaving at 7 29am.

We were looking for a full day active adventure before leaving Santiago to spend a week hiking on Easter Island. Prior to leaving home we searched several options and were intrigued by the Coigue Expeditions website and reviews. We emailed and expressed interest in the Darwin's route and Pacific Coast Gardens, Juncal and Morado hikes, and said that we wanted to spend the day hiking, but weren't acclimated or in shape for a long climb. Gabriel responded promptly and suggested that Darwin's route best fit our objective. We were picked up at our hotel by guide Nicolas and driver promptly at 7:30 AM, made the 1.5 hour drive north to the park and started our hike. The first part is an uphill hike through the Chilean palm forest on the coastal side of the mountain. Since it was morning the coastal fog was still present and lifted as we reached the highest point on the hike and had our lunch. The downhill portion was entirely different as the forest on the inland side is Santiago Oak. Along the way we saw the giant hummingbird. We got back to our hotel about 6:30 PM. It was a perfect day. We were entirely satisfied and so arranged with Nicolas to do the Pacific Coast Gardens hike upon our return from Easter Island.

my daughter and I hiked with Nicolas to the Morado hanging glacier and Juncal Andean park glacier,, a fascinating experience,, All I can say about our guide Nico is that he is 'first class' in all respects,,, His company deserves more attention,,, Go with Nicolas and you will Not be disappointed...He as he says 'make his clients happy' ska

I went on my own to climb up to Mt. Leonera outside of Santiago. Nicolas was very conscientious, organized, and easy to communicate with. He was one of the best guides I have ever used in my travels. He was well prepared for any kind of event that could happen while trekking, including the weather. He did a fantastic job with all matters of planning from the first email contact to when he picked me up at my hotel. I cannot imagine anyone else in Santiago doing a better job than his company did. Highly recommended!

There was an incredible reddish sunset light over Mt El Plomo, strong winds by night and then a bit of snow in the morning. Now is raining in Santiago and the winter season is just starting. The mountains never look the same twice! Thanks a lot for your review on our two days hiking tour, we are flattered. It was great to meet you. Best, The Coigüe Team

Great hiking experience while at Cerro de La Campana. Nicolás is a great friendly guide. Looking for a trekking beyond the ordinary? Coigue is your alternative and visit the Chilean Palm Forest - UNESCO biosphere reserve.

Thoroughly recommend coigueexpeditions! We were met by Nicholas and m. They came a bit later so we could eat breakfast in our hotel. We had a really great day with Nicholas as our guide :) the expedition itself was beautiful with breathing taking views. We were a bit worried that we were not going to be able to see much as it is autumn but Nicholas had an impressive and extensive knowledge of the plants along the way, we saw some wildlife and the views were amazing so we really didn't need to worry! My mum was very interested in knowing the names of all the birds and animals and Nicholas patiently spelled out each one for her. Very fair price for such a great day. The journey back just felt like a bunch of friends coming back from a hike. Reasons to choose this company: professional yet really personable service with quick responses to emails, informative and great website, brilliant treks that are incredibly only available with coigueexpeditions. Decision made ;)

We organised this hike for two of us. Nicolas communicated with us by email, recommended the hike and made all necessary arrangements. He met us at our hotel on time and drove us to the base of the Yerba Loca river and into the Park where we met the horsemen who transported all our kit (tents, sleeping bags, food etc which Nicolas had organised) to the top of the mountain. The hike was wonderful, and we were blessed with amazing weather. We camped out at 3000m under amazing stars after a hearty meal cooked by Nicolas. Very cold but we were well protected in our sleeping bags. The next morning after a lovely hot breakfast we climbed another 600m to the glacier and then made our way back down meeting the horses at the bottom. Amazing mountain views, wonderful 30km hike, condors, glaciers, waterfall, good food, lots of local information and details from Nicolas. What is not to like. A huge success. Highly recommended (and not that hard a hike - 2 50 somethings were knackered at the end but still alive!).

Early may we did the Morado glacier hike and it was great !
Before you start this trip, be aware that it takes some driving before and after the hike: guide picks you up at 7.30at your hotel. Due to the rush hour in Santiago and the small winding route, it took us 3h30m to reach the start and 2:5 h to return.
Once you reach the start of the trail, you arrive in a amazing landscape.
The tracks leads you up, but not too steep in the first part, between the Andes mountains. Beautiful scenes, all sorts of colors. You can do this trip in any sort of weather, it is always amazing. We even had some light snow.
Last part of the track in a bit steeper and you arrive at the end of the trail, near a lake, surrounded by rocks, glaciers and silence,.
An amazing locations dominated by a glacier, or better a dying glacier.
Saw a photo of the locations 20 years ago. I am sure that in 15 year time, the glacier will be gone. Those people who doubt climate change, wake up!
Another reason to visit the place, is mining. At the start to the track you can see mining activity and its catastrophic effects. Now it is still an amazing location, but you see already how this terrible mining is destroying the landscape for future generations.
Shame, so please go now.
Should you go with the company ? Yes, please do.
These guys are very motivated, working on the success of their young business.
Of course there are some issues , but they will approve al the time.
Guide told us that security was a main issue for them.
So there we had a problem..
If you transport people, please do it with a suitable car.
This last part of the road is gravel, steep and with lots of rocks and pites
The car was a 2wd with regular tires not suitable for the trip.
Going up and later down, we where quite uncomfortable, yet we are experienced Travelers
And don.t push people to write a 5 start rating on tripadvisor, you learn more for a honest review, even if it has some remarks
