Santiago Region, Chile
Cajón del Maipo

A theme park molded by Mother Nature and set at the foot of one of the most famous mountain massifs in the world.

Welcome to theme park of Cajon del Maipo where the biggest thrills are built literally into the rocks and foundations of a canyon past the city of Santiago. If roller coasters send your heart climbing up your through, why not attempt an aquatic version along the Maipo river. White water raft past obstacles and abrupt turns and drops for a hair-raising adventure. For those that enjoy vertical drops, step off a cliff with just a rope attached in a leap of faith while bungee jumping. And who needs rock climbing walls when you can boulder climb up rocks deposited a millennium or more ago.


And like any good theme park, there are rides for those that aren’t quite adrenaline junkies. No 4D experience can come close to walking around the Embalso El Yeso Reservoir or the multiple waterfalls around as you feel the cold spray against the midday heat. Instead of a photobooth, stand before the looming white wall of ice that is El Morado Glacier or take a photo before the distant Andes creating the perfect backdrop. Built purely by nature, step in and experience the theme park of Cajon del Maipo.

Tips Before You Go
Though not an official theme park, there’s plenty of activities for everyone at the canyon. Besides the physical activities one can take up, you could instead choose to kick back and relax and San Jose de Maipo with some homemade empanadas before sipping local wine cultures at Concha Y Toro. For a panorama of the Andes, the metro back to Santiago is a great option not well known by most. With so much to do, its good to plan what to do well before heading down to make the most of your time.
