Just a couple of hours from Santiago the Andes mountain range starts. Here you will find its highest peaks. We went through the Maipo valley to find the famous Termas Valle de Colina. Luckily we rented a tough Toyota 4Runner from Avis otherwise the road conditions had forced us to return. It was a great adventures trip trough streams and over ice and snow. The reward was a warm bath in the hot spring high up in the mountains in the sun.
