Embalse El Yeso

Reviewed By Eriberry26 - Perth, Australia

Visited 17th Sept 2019 Rented a car from Santiago and drove here, the drive is quite challenging as the road close to the attraction is narrow and close to the edge of the cliff. We went on a sunny and clear day, and had to park the car and walk about 4km. Lovely view and was well worth the effort!

Parque Valle del Yeso

Reviewed By 904agnesc - Zoutleeuw, Belgium

They way up from the valley is an experience in itself. There is a lot of mining activity along the way but except for some heavy traffic along the way, it's not bothering the views. Once you reach the lake, it'll be all wow's - that I can promise you - specially if you continue beyond the lake into the high andean valleys.
