Travel Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival to Santiago de Chile
Avoid the stresses of navigating an unfamiliar, public transportation system or negotiating with taxi drivers and enjoy our included airport transfers that will take you to your City Hotel and back to the airport in an easy and comfortable way while saving money and trouble. Our point to point service is arranged according to your flight schedule and is a fast and reliable option at no additional cost. Check -in into your 3-Star hotel in the city and enjoy your first evening in Santiago de Chile free for own leisure (no transfers included)
Day 2: Full-day Portillo Excursion
Today’s trip takes you high up into the Andes mountains. From Santiago the curvy road leads up to the ski area of Portillo (2.880 m / 9448 ft height). Enjoy spectacular views over the wide mountain range of the Andes and the intense emerald-colored Laguna del Inca. On clear days, it is even possible to see the Aconcagua, South America´s highest mountain of South America, located in Argentina. Between June and October, Portillo offers a fantastic winter sports experience, but a walk here is always worthwhile in other months as well. If the fresh mountain air makes you hungry, there is an option to have lunch here (not included in the price). In the late afternoon we return to Santiago.

On our halfday Citytour tour we visit Santiago´s most important monuments, such as the government palace La Moneda, the Universidad de Chile, the church San Francisco, the national library and the hill Santa Lucia, where Santiago was founded in 1541. Further stops are the busy main square with its cathedral and the old post office and the Mercado Central, the main fish and seafood market. Passing through the artistic district of Bellavista, we drive up to San Cristóbal hill (not possible during the weekend), from where you enjoy great views of Santiago and the Andes Mountains.
