Half day tour walking around Santiago (Private)

After checking-in we’ll head out on a walking tour of Santiago city, which will allow us to appreciate this vibrant city from a different angle, where modernity coexists in harmony with little corners that recall the past. We’ll start off at the Metro that will take us to Plaza de la Constitución, located in front of the Palacio de la Moneda, the building that serves the current seat of the government.  We’ll walk around the center and appreciate the different buildings around, such as the Court of Justice, the old Customs House now turned into the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and the buildings that surround it – the Municipality, post Office, the National Historical Museum and the Cathedral. Our route then takes us towards the bustling Paseo Ahumada and then across O’Higgins Avenue, better known as the “Alameda”. This is considered the backbone of the city and it is where the oldest building in the country is located: the church of San Francisco. Right next to it we’ll find the charming neighborhood of Paris-London, which will have the opportunity to visit, and perhaps enjoy a cup of coffee.

Transfer from hotel to Colchagua Valley (Private Service)

Today’s tour starts from your hotel towards the south. We will travel through the picturesque Chilean countryside, known as “Valle de Colchagua” famous for its large production of fruits and vegetables. This agricultural and fertile valley begins in the Andes mountains and extends westward to the Pacific Ocean. Historically, the valley was designed for wine making – there are more than 15 vineyards producing different varieties of wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carménère, Syrah and Malbec. 

Our excursion will take us to the Montgras winery, where we’ll enjoy a Tour and Tasting with Pairing. We’ll taste and learn about the characteristics of 3 different varieties of wine along with specially selected products that help find the perfect balance between food and wine. Later on, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at Hotel Santa Cruz followed by a visit to the Colchagua Museum, located in the small town of Santa Cruz. The Museum, which belongs to the non-profit organization Cardoen’s Foundation, opened its doors in 1995. It has a range of very important historical objects on display that will no doubt take us back to our origins.

At the end of the afternoon you’ll be dropped off at your selected hotel in Santa Cruz.

Our tour through the Valley’s vineyards continues today with a visit to the renowned Viu Manent vineyard.
