Description - What to expect
Your Inca day tour starts with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Santiago and a drive to the largest privately-owned alpaca farm in Chile. Enjoy a day in nature and discover alpacas up close. Your host will guide you around the farm and you have the opportunity to see the entire alpaca wool production process and be amazed by the great variety of handmade alpaca wool items that portray the spirit of the Andean culture.Continue your Inca day tour traveling to the foothills of the Andes and stop at Paidahuén Archaeological Park. Paidahuén is an isolated hill located along the northern bank of the Aconcagua River in the rural town of San Esteban. At the top of Paidahuén, discover large rocks decorated with petroglyphs full of symbolism and mystery. These rock drawings were created by the native populations many hundred years ago and their true meaning remains unknown.
Next, visit San Esteban Winery for a vineyard tour and wine tasting. San Esteban is a family-owned and operated producer of high-quality wines and table grapes. Their grapes are planted along the banks of the Aconcagua River and on the surrounding hillsides. The area is famous for its micro-climate, ideally suited for wine and table grape production, with a soil quality that rivals the best wine-growing regions in South America.
After the winery tour and wine tasting, there will be enough time for lunch, if you choose, at a rustic countryside restaurant called “La Ruca” meaning “house” in the Mapuche Indian language. On the return to Santiago, on a clear day, you will be able to see views of Mount Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere, at 22,841 feet above sea level.
