Itinerary description

I made this Sendero a la Laguna El Morado with AndoAndes (https://www.andoandes.cl/). It was supposed to be a trekking into the El Morado Natural Monument but apparently the place was closed or inaccessible and they proposed this alternative that was quite interesting. The landscape was intense and varied, mixing volcaninc with sedimentar in a beautiful and colorful way. The guides were very good and attentive and the wine and cheese at the end was a delightful surprise.
Although Cajon del Maipo is close to Santiago, it is still a long drive without an easy alternative with public transportation. The trip was expensive, but was a day long trip (12 h) and absolutely worth of its price.
Next time I have to try again the El Morado National Monument...
