  • 5Mountains, wine, and llamas!

    We saw so much in one day on our tour with Álvaro. We visited a stunning winery with a Mountain View, went to a llama farm, and visited the Portillo ski resort. Portillo had stunning views of the Andes, the Inca lake, and a cozy bar. Álvaro was very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend!

The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.
