The entrance to Cascada de las Animas is located in the town of San Alfonso at 31087 Camino Al Volcán approximately 60 kilometers southeast of downtown Santiago. Camino Al Volcán (Volcano Road), also known as Ruta G-25, is a well maintained paved road, and the primary route that traverses through the Maipo Canyon.

Camino Al Volcán continues beyond San Alfonso nearly to the Argentine border, and provides access to a number of spectacular areas including the El Morado National Monument, the Colina Hot springs and the Yeso Reservoir (In case you're wondering, you cannot cross by vehicle into Argentina via this road). If you intend to explore the Maipo Canyon beyond our entrance, be aware that the pavement ends a few kilometers beyond our resort and is often impassable during inclement weather except by four wheel drive vehicles.

How to get here

- Advantages: Comfortable, fast. - Disadvantages: Relatively expensive, variable reliability and price. Taxis are usually black and yellow or all black in color, and display their minimum fare in the windshield and the rate per 200 meters. These fares depend upon the condition of the car, the nature of the driver, and the area serviced. It's a free market so be aware and ask questions beforehand, although most city taxi drivers are trustworthy. Fares are likely to double at night after 9pm, and the more expensive taxis are to be found waiting in front of hotels and other tourist locations. All taxis have meters that should be turned on when you enter the car. If you wish to have a taxi bring you here, it is best to strike up a deal with the driver for a set price rather than a metered drive which will likely be much more expensive. Not all taxis will be willing to do this for a reasonable fee, again, much will depend upon the nature of the driver. Rate: Variable
