Today’s adventure is a choice between an immersive walking tour of the capital or a delightful vineyard visit.   

The Santiago Walking Tour is the ideal starting point to discover renowned sites and local hidden gems. A subway ride will unveil the most picturesque stations adorned by murals created by  local artists.  We will continue walking through Santiago’s streets, admiring a fantastic architecture that shines in every corner before arriving at Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city.  We will have the opportunity to taste Chilean food  on some local snacks and  depending on the day of the week, a visit to a local market can also be included to appreciate the diversity of fruits, vegetables and coastal bounty like fish and seafood. The tour ends at the Bellavista neighborhood and its charming streets, where we can continue the city exploration on our own or return to our hotel. 

For the Vineyard tour,  a private car (driver only), will pick us from our hotel and take us to Viña Santa Rita,a vineyard founded in 1884 due to its historical importance  and the quality of the wines they produce has become a premium destination. An expert guide will walk us through a  visit to Casa del Turismo, where we will gain insights on the winemaking process, the vinification cellars, storage and bottling plant and we will enjoy an exclusive wine tasting as well. We then continue to the famous Bodega de los 120 Patriotas, Before heading back to the hotel we will be able to get some souvenirs at the local shop.

We will be transferred to the airport to board our flight to Puerto Montt, where the southern landscapes of Chilean Patagonia unfold before us. Puerto Varas, also known as the City of Roses, welcomes us with its charming German architecture, a legacy of European settlers. 

After we do our hotel check-in, our exploration begins in Llanquihue city, discovering its rich cultural and natural wonders. In Frutillar, a charming town with strong German heritage, we wander past traditional wooden houses, artisanal breweries, and lush gardens that echo Bavaria’s old-world charm. Time permitting we can also visit the German Colonial Museum.

Today, we journey around Llanquihue Lake towards the Osorno Volcano and its eternal snow-capped summit that rises dramatically above the landscape. At the ski center, breathtaking panoramic views stretch from Llanquihue Lake to the Pacific Ocean, a reminder of Chile’s staggering natural beauty.

For those seeking an extra thrill, an optional chairlift ride offers an even higher vantage point, revealing a landscape shaped by volcanic forces.

As the sun begins to dip, we return to our hotel in Puerto Varas, our hearts full from an exploration in Chile’s stunning Lake District.

A transfer to the airport marks the start for the next leg of our adventure. Depending on our flight,  we’ll either arrive directly in Puerto Natales or land in Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport, where a shared shuttle (available from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM)  will take us from Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales   

Upon arrival, we’ll be taken to our hotel, where the charming town welcomes us with breathtaking fjord views and a warm, cozy atmosphere. The evening is free to relax and recharge before the unforgettable Patagonia adventures ahead.

Today, we venture into a land of towering peaks, shimmering lakes, and vast wilderness, all in a shared-basis tour. While we travel we may be graced by condor sightings and other andean fauna. We continue through scenic routes, stopping at iconic viewpoints like Sarmiento Lake and Paine River Waterfall, where we admire the towering and legendary granite peaks: Torres del Paine.

We continue to the Laguna Amarga viewpoint, a stunning natural marvel and a great spigot to observe flamingtoes. The day’s grand finale awaits at Lago Grey Peninsula, offering unparalleled views of the immense Grey Glacier, one of the park’s most breathtaking natural wonders. We continue towards the Milodón Cave, a natural monument where remains of a large extinct ground sloth from the pleistocene era called Mylodon were found. 

As the tour comes to an end, we return to Puerto Natales, filled with admiration for Patagonia’s untamed beauty.
