Join us on our 3 classic horseback ride tour through Santiago’s rugged Cordillera. You will be welcomed at the ranch by the Arrieros (local cowboys) and their dogs before we take off. Take in the stunning vistas and admire the abundant flora & fauna from horseback. We will cross rivers, scale mountains, have a short break along the river side or on a hill top, enjoy a small snack in the gorgeous surroundings and then savour a picnic lunch once back at the ranch. You will also have the chance to share an Argentinean herbal tea called “mate”.
We use the small but sturdy criollo horses who make anybody feel at ease. No previous experience is required. To make your trip more pleasant, we will lend you chaps and a helmet. Please wear long trousers, long sleeves in the summer for sun protection and closed shoes.
You will be picked up at 10.00 and returned by 16.00 max to your hotel (35 min drive from Providencia).
Booking a horseback riding tour with Chile Off Track generates a positive social impact as we contract the horses with local providers, with whom we have an established business relationship for years. Our tours contribute significantly in helping them to make their living!
Would you like to get to know the Andes, breathe the fresh air, walk in the snow, but don’t necessarily feel like skiing?
Join us on a combo tour of snow, mountain & wine, where we first visit the Valle Nevado ski resort in the morning, followed by a wine tour & tasting at the oldest vineyard in Chile, Cousiño Macul, in the Maipo valley! Before starting our wine tour, we will have lunch at an amazing French-style restaurant downtown in Providencia. They have a very varied menu, with amongst others confit de canard, warm goat cheese salad, pastas, filets and a huge collection of wines!
You will be picked up at 07.30 and returned by 18.00 maximum to your hotel (2 hours up to Valle Nevado, 1.5 hour down to Santiago, 1 hour from Santiago to the winery & restaurant).
For those who do not like to spot steel tanks on the production site of a vineyard, then Emiliana & Bodegas RE is the best choice for you! Immerse yourself in nature and get introduced to the ancient ways of wine production!
The Emiliana vineyard is a pioneer in organic biodynamic wine making in South America. During the tour you can spot sheep, alpacas & chickens that roam freely followed by a tasting of their premium wines, 2 white & 2 red. Nice detail: in their wine shop, you can also buy homemade honey, olive oil and alpaca wool!
If you have a chance, try to get a bottle of Coyam (red wine).
Bodegas RE reintroduces ancient ways of producing wine in immense amphorae. Combining traditional ways with today’s knowledge enables them to produce beautiful premium wines! Bodegas RE belongs to the Morandé family, 9 generations of wine producers in Chile.
A real gem is their “Vigno” label, produced with 100% of Carignan grapes. http://bodegasre.cl/menu-type/vigno-by-vina-roja-2008/

On the tour you will see it all! Stroll through the mazes of fruit, vegetable, spices, and meat stalls at La Vega market, admire the art-nouveau-London-train-station-style-like construction of the old fish market Mercado Central, and experience the fast pace environments, the smells, the colors, and let yourself take it all in. We will also visit the neo-classical Moneda Palace (seat of the government), the Plaza de Armas (main square), and Santa Lucia Hill, where Santiago was founded in 1541 by Pedro de Valdivia.
Of course showing the exquisite gastronomy of Santiago is part of the Santiago Highlights Tour, so we will stop for lunch in a gourmet wine restaurant with plenty of opportunities to indulge in some (or many) sips of Chile’s famous wines! After lunch, we will find ourselves in the bohemian ambiance of the Bellavista neighborhood, where you will have the possibility to spend some leisure time shopping, visit the Cerro San Cristobal Hill, have dinner in one of the many restaurants on the street of Concepción, or we can chaperone you back to your hotel.
