Excursions around Santiago

Full day excursion to Vina del Mar and Valparaiso

Depart for the Central Coast traveling through the valleys of Curacavo and Casablanca. The latter is known for its recent success as a wine producing area and there is a stop to visit one of the vineyards and taste some wine. Continue to the coast and visit the beach area of Reńaca and the town of Vina del Mar, known as the Garden City for its pretty parks and flower-lined streets. Visit the casino and the coastal road. In the afternoon, continue to the picturesque port of Valparaiso built in the 16th century on 43 hills which are reached by narrow windy streets, staircases and a series of lifts (funiculars) which is now declared by UNESCO as World Heritage site because of its eclectic architecture and urban development. Visit La Sebastiana, the museum house of Pablo Neruda,. The house is situated on one of the hills overlooking the bay and contains some of the poet’s collections, specifically related to the sea. Return to Santiago.

Full-day excursion to Valle Nevado

Valle Nevado ski resort is in the mountains near Santiago at a height of 3,025 meters/ 9,982 feet above sea level. Following the River Mapocho up the valley, pass through some small mountain villages before starting to climb the mountain proper up a series of hairpin bends. The views are incredible and there is a good chance of seeing condors all year round. The quality and variety of the runs as well as the usually clement weather make this one of the best ski areas in the southern hemisphere. Skiing is available from June to August (lift pass, ski rental, etc. not included) and the rest of the year it is possible to enjoy the mountain air and wonderful views.

Full Day excursion to Isla Negra – Pablo Neruda Museum

There is time for lunch locally after the visit (not included) before returning to Santiago.
