Cajón del Maipo is a box canyon that is just 90 minutes from Santiago. It’s crazy how quickly you leave a metropolis of 7 million people and feel like you’ve reached the end of the world.

There are volcanoes, but don’t worry, there’s a clearly marked evacuation route. Or just take the one road leading out.

You could be cruising down the road listening to Mountain Goats when a pack of mountain goats jump off the cliff in front of your car.

Or casually catch a condo of condors coasting by.
