Descripción

*Pickup is only available for accommodations located along Alameda, Providencia, and Apoquindo avenues (Line 1 of the Santiago Metro). If you are staying outside or far from this area, we will provide you with a meeting point at a hotel or metro station along one of these avenues.


On the way, you will travel along the international route connecting Chile and Argentina, enjoying panoramic views of the Andes. You will stop at landmarks such as the Salto del Soldado, a striking rock formation, and the border area between the two countries.


At 2,680 meters above sea level, you will find the stunning Laguna del Inca, with its intense emerald waters. Here, you will hear the legend of Inca Illi Yupanqui and Princess Kora-llé, whose tragic love gave the lagoon its magical color. You will have time to admire the scenery, breathe fresh mountain air, and capture unforgettable photos.


We will return to Santiago after exploring the majesty of the Andes and the mystical charm of the Laguna del Inca.
