    This place will blow your mind! The damn was constructed in the mid 60s and it is absolutely stunning. The third largest water supply for Santiago and its turquoise waters will make your heart and eyes melt - stunning

    Beautiful place to hike and enjoy the mountains. To me, it’s perfect for a one-day hike. There’s not much infrastructure around, so better bring your supplies. The place is popular among locals, you don’t need a guide, just take/download a map and enjoy the nature.

    One of my favorite places in the world! The landscape is amazing. It's breath taking... The lake has a stunning blue color that I've never seen before. The weather was nice (visited in March). Could spend hours looking at the view. It's a must see in Chile!!!

    Note that this Google Maps location is not the actual canyon with blue water - this is the pin for the town! Use "Embalse el Yeso" to find the blue water canyon pictured in the photos.

    We‘ve been here randomly, but it was more than worth it. Beautiful landscape, and after a minutes of walk, we found a place for a short stop to enjoy this area. Somehow you feel lost and small, but in a wonderful way.

    (Translated by Google) Nice and beautiful place, unfortunately the main streets are unfinished and you can see a dirty little town, you can enjoy the landscape and the fresh air from all of them. (Original) Lindo y hermoso lugar , lamentablemente las calles principales están sin terminar y se aprecia un pueblito sucio ,de todas se disfruta el paisaje y el aire puro.

    This pin is in the wrong location! It takes you up a hill in town to someone’s back garden, there is no trail here! It’s not even close! (The real Maipo Canyon is beautiful)

    Really impressive! Getting there is already a lot of fun. Be prepared that your car might get a bit dirty. We managed it in a small Hyundai, no off-roader needed.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful and relaxing place to visit ... But we see unconscious people everywhere ... Cigarette butts, plastic waste and garbage in a natural place as beautiful as this, what a disappointment !! (Original) Un lugar hermoso y relajante para visitar...

    I loved it. It's cold, so be sure to wear warm clothing, and the road to get here is also very curvy, so you might get dizzy. Be prepared for it all. In the end, it's all worth it – gorgeous views and breathtaking mountains. I book my trip through TripAdvisor, for only $39 usd and it’s totally worth it, they pick you up, take you to different places and at the end we all had a few snacks and wine. Had an amazing time

    For foreigners it is important to know that it is not recommended to visit it in summer, is not much to see except a semi-dry lake. And Cajón del Maipo is not Embalse el Yeso that they show in the photos. Be careful with the Tours.

    Great place! If you are in Santiago don't miss it. Amazing views at Maipo and through the way till el Yeso. We went with Skitotal and the guide Pablo was really cool and gave us a local geographic class. We also made a picnic with the group and enjoyed Chilean wine and cheese :) I honestly recommend el Yeso and the guys from Skitotal

    This place was really pretty. My brother and I rode motorcycles here, the road was getting lots of construction done. They had a bathroom and a lady selling food. A fair amount of traffic, and tourist busses as well. It was a great day for a ride though.

  • 4/5 Luíza P. 1 month ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    My experience with Cajon del Maipo was a little worrying, dangerous roads that have no shoulder and gigantic cliffs with no safety. We went by rental car so we went on our own, without a tour guide!! The view is beautiful, but I wouldn't go back due to the lack of security and the very high cliffs. It takes 2 hours to get to the location from Santiago!! High curves and cliffs, if possible, I recommend it in the summer and with a tour guide, so you don't have to take a rental car and something happens...

  • 3/5 Jordan G. 4 months ago on Google • 14 reviews

  • 1/5 KatandKev F. 1 year ago on Google
    This pin is not for the Maipo canyon that you see in all the pictures. You need to go to the El Yeso dam to see the beauty. Don’t be fooled.

  • 5/5 Tereza A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 2/5 Dre M. 7 months ago on Google
    Please be advised, this is nothing what it looks like in the pictures. Don’t waste your time. Look into the correct one, this location takes you to a little town in the middle of nowhere. The actual picture you see of this town is of the reservoir which is about another hour from the town. Great marketing.

  • 4/5 Cynthia M. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place! Crazy ride up and around in the mountains. We did not drive all the way around. There is one area where a waterfall comes down, crosses over the road, and you have to drive thru it. The guardrail is gone at that point. It felt a little scary. When you feel you are in the middle of nowhere you will see a sign for banos, a little place that also has a pond and goats and chickens. This is the "last chance bathroom" and worth the 500 pesos to use it. He needs to advertise that more!

    Great dam here, beautiful due to snow in the other side. There are restroom sometimes (chemical ones) and some tours may offer a picnic with Chilean wine Cabernet Sauvignon. But the place depends a lot about the weather. Also, bring boots and hot clothes, because you gonna feel hot in the sun and very cold in the shadow.
