Regional and City Tours, National Park Treks and Walking Tours
Small Group Excursions and Regional Tours
Each week we arrange small group excursions to Isla Negra, Quintay and the Casablanca Valley; treks to the very summit of La Campana National Park and guided tours of Valparaiso which provide the opportunity to meet the people and understand something of the culture in addition to just seeing the sights.
Here are few examples of the arrangements that we offer;
Isla Negra and Quintay
Visit Pablo Neruda's home at Isla Negra and then take a very scenic coastal drive to the beautiful ex whaling village of Quintay with rugged coastlines, wild flowers and birdlife as well as the old whaling station. The day can also include a visit to the award winning William Cole Vineyards in the Casablanca Valley, seeing the grapevines in the field and a winetasting session. This excursion easily enables you to visit all three activities in the day whereas using public transport each activity would take a whole day in itself.
Trek La Campana
Travel to la Campana National Park in 4WD with an experienced guide. The vehicle is parked at the old mine site and then there is a two hour trek to the summit on foot for lunch. Charles Darwin lunched at the same spot on his voyage of discovery. On a good day you can see the Pacific Ocean and also the Andes thereby giving you a view of the total breadth of Chile. This is a full day experience and a reasonable fitnes level is required.
Explore Valparaiso with a local
Valparaiso is a maze of stairways, alleyways, hills and houses so we planned this excursion to provide a perfect introduction to the people of Valparaiso and the UNESCO World Heritage City.
The day begins with a visit to Caleta Portales, the regions largest fishing cooperative and markets where you can not only see the catch being brought in, but you can speak with the fisherman and market workers through your bilingual guide.
This excursion allows you to discover all sorts of other things that you could not do alone and provides an opportunity to learn about life in Chile with a knowledgable local guide.
Specialised Wine Tours
Spend a day in the Casablanca Valley with an expert on local wines. The day can be completely focased on wine or changed to include a side trip ti Isla Negra as well. many visitors interested in food and wine combine a wine day with a cooking class www.cookingclasseschile.cl
Direct Transfers
We can arrange door to door transfer from the Airport or from your accomodation in Santiago. A transfer can be particularly convenient if you have a lot of luggage or are arriving on a late night flight from the south of Chile, Easter Island or another location.
All of the above can be arranged to suit your specific requirements and we take pleasure in helping you make the most of your stay here with us.
