Maipo is located in a picturesque area next to the Diamond Crater, which was formed 500 thousand years ago and is very similar to a gem. To the west are the Laguna del Diamante Lake and the Maipo Canyon with the river of the same name. The river can be crossed by a suspension bridge that leads to a wide plateau. From here, a beautiful view of the entire valley opens up.
