Description

The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in a van. You will head north from the city of Santiago along the Los Libertadores highway. On the way, you will pass by Salto del Soldado, where legend has it that a Chilean patriot distracted the royalists who were chasing him, separated from the group and led them on horseback through the ravines. Being closely pursued, he reached a steep ravine nine meters wide. There, he jumped with his horse, managing to reach the other side. You will also stop to take a photo at curve 17¡ of the famous Ruta Los Caracoles, known for its curves. In addition, you will visit the Portillo Ski Center and Hotel. You will have a set time set by your guide to visit the ski resort and the wonderful Laguna del Inca, which is located between the mountains. This lagoon also has a beautiful story about an Inca king. You will also have a picnic with the llamas on the mountain at no additional cost. Llamas are animals and must be respected, so it may not always be possible to see them. At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to your hotel in Santiago.
