Los Baqueanos

Cajón del Maipo


Overnighting in the great outdoors no longer means roughing it: guests here sleep in luxurious dome-shaped tents heated by solar power and comfortably furnished with cozy cots, ergonomic chairs and wi-fi access. Gourmet breakfasts and meals are prepared by the chef, while beautiful Chilean horses wait on the sidelines to take travelers on day excursions into the Cajón del Maipo.

Ask about the condition of the dirt road up to Los Baqueanos if you plan to drive yourself.
