This innovation introduced new winemaking techniques that transformed the Chilean wine industry.

Discover Alto Maipo and Cousiño Macul
Conclude your wine journey with a visit to Cousiño-Macul, the only 19th-century winery in Chile still owned by its founding family. Located in the Alto Maipo region, this winery is a must-visit for any Santiago itinerary. The unique combination of Andean mountain water and fertile soil in this area is ideal for producing high-quality grapes and wines. Return to Santiago for your final night, and savor a delightful dinner before your departure the following day.

Valparaiso and Vina del Mar
On your final day in Santiago, immerse yourself in the vibrant allure of Chile's Pacific coast by exploring the captivating sister cities of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Start your adventure in Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its colorful, cascading houses on steep hillsides. Ascend the historic funiculars to navigate winding streets adorned with stunning street art, and discover charming cafés nestled within century-old buildings. Proceed north to the sophisticated Viña del Mar, aptly named the Garden City for its meticulously manicured gardens and palm-lined boulevards. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the pristine beaches, visit the iconic flower clock, and savor fresh seafood at oceanfront restaurants. The bohemian charm of Valparaíso's labyrinthine alleys and Viña del Mar's elegant coastal ambiance provide a perfect contrast to Santiago's urban energy.
