Description

This is a very complete one-day tour from Santiago. Sightseeing, architecture, spirituality, traditional food, winery, handcrafts and even nightlife (optional) are put together in one single tour.
Let´s start the day by visiting one of the most interesting buildings of the city: the Bahá’í temple of South America. Here you will not only enjoy the creative architecture of the building, but also learn about the interesting Bahá´í faith. The temple is located at the foothills of the Andes, so you will also enjoy a nice view of the City.

After visiting the temple, we will exit Santiago from the south, arriving to Maipo valley. Here we will stop at a traditional Chilean restaurant in the countryside, where you will be able to savor typical Chilean food for lunch (cost not included in the tour).

The third stop is nothing less than the biggest winery of Chile: Concha y Toro, which is known in many countries with their different trademarks. The most popular being “Casillero del Diablo”. On this tour you will visit the gardens, vineyard, cellars, taste 3 wines with their corresponding descriptions, learn about the legend of “Casillero del Diablo” (Devil´s locker) and receive a wine glass as a souvenir that you can bring home.

On our fourth stop, we will be back in Santiago, and you will discover the semiprecious blue stone that can only be found in Chile and in Afghanistan: “lapislázuli”. Here you will see different pieces of crafts and jewelry made with this and other Chilean materials like copper, silver and many others. The perfect spot to buy souvenirs.

It´s almost 17:00 PM and you can decide between us driving you back to your hotel or being dropped off at Patio Bellavista in the nearby night-live district. It is an inside court filled with many restaurants, bars, live music and attractions. The cuisine is international, not only authentic Chilean but also Peruvian, Colombian, Mexican, European, Asian, etc. It is open until 01.00 AM on week days, and until 03:00 AM on weekends. There is enough security for you to enjoy safely and take an Uber back to your hotel, when you so wish.
