Beginning in Santiago, this tour heads down the central Chilean coast, passing through an aviary and nature sanctuary providing a habitat for over 100 different species of birds!
The first stop: Isla Negra Pablo Neruda´s favorite house. The whimsical and eccentric house was designed to evoke feelings of sailing at the Pacific Ocean which was Neruda´s dream. The incredible views inspired many of Neruda’s most famous verses; lovers of literature, however, aren’t the only ones who will be enchanted by this architectural wonder and its surroundings.
Upon leaving Isla Negra’s exceptional locale, you’ll travel through the Casablanca Valley, lush, fertile and covered in vineyards. Though relatively new to Chile’s winegrowing regions, the Casablanca Valley has quickly becoming one of its foremost, famous for its crisp and refreshing white wines. Continuing on in the vein of vino, your next stop is Vina del Mar, literally “Vineyard of the Sea.” This most famous beach on the central coast is thickly populated with gorgeous parks, gardens and broad avenues trailing from miles of pristine beaches. Kick off those sandals, bury your toes in the sand and open up the wine you (hopefully) picked up in the Casablanca Valley. See less
