This highly popular activity is not for the faint of heart! After a two-hour drive from Santiago into the middle of the Maipo Canyon, we will arrive at Cascada de Las Animas in the small town of San Alfonso on the banks of the Maipo River.
Cascada de Las Animas has more than 25 years of experience in ecotourism with more than 8,000 acres of mountain ranges, valleys, springs and waterfalls. Canopy consists of soaring from treetop to treetop while being securely buckled to a steel cable. Every treetop carries its own platform, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular forest views while your safety guide prepares you for your next flight.
Safety comes first and the outdoor experts at Cascada de Las Animas will make absolutely sure that you will be able to enjoy this exhilarating activity in a carefree and safe manner.
The Zip Line is a 558-foot (70-meter) cable crossing the Maipo River, one of the longest in Chile. The Zips can reach up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) per hour. An exciting experience where vertigo and adrenaline are combined with the indescribable pleasure of appreciating splendid scenery and enjoying the wind hitting your face.
After Zip Lining and Canopy, you will have time for lunch at the rustic countryside Casa Bosque Restaurant in San Jose de Maipo.
Then, it is wine time! You will visit Cousiño Macul Vineyard for a winery tour and wine tasting. Founded in 1856, Cousiño Macul is the only winery in Chile among those established in the 19th Century that continues in the hands of the original founding family. The mission of Cousiño Macul is to produce world-class wines that are unmistakably Chilean carrying the distinctive character of the Maipo Valley.
