During the ascent, your tour guide will tell you about the history of the Andes Mountains, the origin of the first mountain resorts in Chile, and the geographical and cultural importance of this area for the country. An interpretive experience that makes the journey part of the sightseeing tour, not just transport. Along the way, we'll make stops at selected panoramic vantage points, where you can photograph and admire the Andean landscape in all its grandeur.
