About this experience
Experience the Andes like never before with a scenic snowshoeing hike through the breathtaking backcountry near La Parva Ski Resort. Just one hour from Santiago, this easy and rewarding adventure takes you to 8,000 feet above sea level, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Andes Mountains, the city of Santiago, and the charming ski villages of Farellones and La Parva.
This is more than just a nature experience—it’s also a way to give back. For every participant, we donate the planting of a native tree in Patagonia through the Reforestemos Patagonia foundation, helping to offset the carbon footprint of your trip and support Chilean reforestation efforts.
