We will depart from your hotel at 8:00 a.m. for a scenic drive through Chile's intermediate depression, offering stunning views of the Andes Mountains.
On our way, we’ll pass the historic Chacabuco Monument, site of one of the most significant battles in Chile’s fight for independence (1817). We will then cross the international tunnel marking the regional boundary, where you’ll have a breathtaking view of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our first stop is the In Situ Vineyard in San Esteban, where you'll enjoy a tasting of premium local wines.
Continuing our journey through Río Blanco, we’ll pass small villages, mining camps, and awe-inspiring mountain ranges before arriving at Portillo, home to the renowned Inca Lagoon.
Take in the magnificent views while you have lunch (on your own) by the serene lagoon, surrounded by the beauty of the Andes.
The tour concludes with a return to your hotel, arriving around 5:00 p.m.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Specialized infant seats are available. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. The winery visit is unavailable on Sundays, but the wine tasting will be offered at an alternate location.. During the winter season, access to the lagoon's shore is restricted due to a preventive closure by Hotel Portillo, due to heavy snowfall.. From June to October, lunch at Hotel Portillo is not available on Saturdays, so lunch will be provided at an alternative restaurant.
If you're staying in downtown Santiago, Providencia, Vitacura, Las Condes, or Lastarria, we'll pick you up right from your accommodation. No worries if you're outside these areas; we'll arrange an easily accessible meeting point nearby.
