Loved the whole experience, the views were gorgeous and our great guide Victor Fuentes made the tour amazing with his facts, jokes, personal stories and history of Chile. And also helped with pictures! He took the one I am sharing.

Rasly love the experience with Victor and Alejandro! It was superb! The wine was great, but Portillo is definitely the main attraction! So pretty

There was a lot of time spent in the van but our guide Victor made the time pass quickly with his great sense of humour and ability to pass on a lot of information in a very entertaining way. The winery visit was one of the highlights- a really beautiful setting.. The road up the hairpins to Portillo took a while but the views were spectacular.

We had an incredible time on the Inca Lagoon day trip from Santiago! The scenery on the drive up through the Andes was absolutely breathtaking — the switchbacks and mountain views alone are worth the trip. Once you reach the lagoon, the turquoise water looks unreal… like something straight out of a movie. A huge shout-out to Victor and Alejandro — they made the day even better. Victor kept us laughing the whole time while sharing awesome info about Chilean history and the local area, and Alejandro was a fantastic driver on those wild mountain roads. We always felt safe, relaxed and taken care of. The wine tasting at the family-run vineyard was the perfect way to end the day — stunning setting, delicious wines, and a really chilled vibe. Highly recommend this experience if you want a mix of nature, views, and great Chilean wine. One of our favourite days in Chile! 🍷⛰️🇨🇱

Victor was an excellent guide and Mauricio a wonderful driver! The food was great and the group relatively small.

We decided to do this tour as a family to celebrate a birthday, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Victor was an incredible guide who provided a great mix of detailed information and humorous anecdotes, so that by the end of the tour, you felt like you had a deeper understanding of Santiago, Chile and the incredible Andes mountains. The tour flew by with plenty of stops, opportunities to take photos and a delicious wine tasting. Victor created a lovely atmosphere, making it a wonderfully enjoyable day. I couldn't recommend this tour more.

A wonderful day trip from Santiago, including a high-quality wine tasting, a stunning ride into the Andes to Portillo and the Inca Lagoon, and a (no-host) lunch with a view of the Lagoon.Lots of information about Chilean history and geography too.

We started the trip by trying some wine at In Situ winery…learning about the camanere type of wines was insightful, and I wish I could buy and ship because the bottles were so inexpensive and so tasty! Then we made it to the Inca Lagoon by 30+ road switchbacks which was intimidating, fun, and exciting all at the same time. When we arrived to the Inca Lagoon/Hotel Portillo, we first had lunch with the most beautiful view! You have to eat the Conger fish dish with a bottle of wine, and some pastels as an appetizer. The Inca Lagoon views were completely worth the drive! I highly encourage walking down to the water’s edge and dipping your toes in to say you did it, then before getting on the shuttle, spend some time in the giftshop. The second half of the trip is a stop for a scenic picture, another stop for seeing llamas, then the long drive back to Santiago. A little less eventful but still really nice! Victor was the perfect guide! Very knowledgeable and quite hilarious!
