Welcome to Santiago! Chile has many adventures to offer tourists: stargazing in the driest desert in the world, millennial glaciers in the southernmost part of the planet, enchanted forests, and lakes located at the foot of massive volcanoes. It has islands full of legends, winemaking traditions, great challenges to be overcome, and the modern and accessible city of Santiago. A private transfer will pick you up from Santiago Airport to take you to your selected Hotel. Viña Vik is located in the Millahue Valley, in San Vicente de Tagua Tagua, 160 kilometers south of Santiago. It is characterized for being an extraordinary architectural project in the middle of the vineyards where nature is mixed with art and design. This became the new adventure of the Norwegian businessman Alexander Vik, who sought a place between Chile and Argentina to produce the best wine in the world. This is how he came to our country to fulfill his dream that included not only a vineyard, but also an avant-garde style hotel to receive art-loving tourists. The hotel's architecture was in charge of Marcelo Daglio and it stands out for its corrugated titanium roof that shines at certain times of the day. This symbolizes the name of the Millahue Valley, which in Mapudungún means "land of gold".

This day we recommend you visit the 4,300-hectare park where you can experience various activities: wine tastings with our experts, visit the highly sustainable winery, horseback riding through the vineyards, among others.

Website: https://tierrahotels.com/patagonia/excursions/ Our recommendation for today: Half Day Origins of Life: Ancient Geology at Lake Sarmiento. Unearth thousands of years of geology on this walk based around the shores of Lake Sarmiento. Here you can discover rare formations that reflect the beginnings of the Earth’s history. A 40-minute drive takes us from the hotel to our starting point, for a varied walk over both flat and slightly steeper terrain before we hit the shores of Lake Sarmiento. This expanse of water is very special and the home of formations called thrombolites, which were formed early on in the history of the world’s geology. The conditions needed for them to be created are a precise balance between climatic conditions, alkaline levels in the water and wildlife in the area amongst others. There are very few sites in the world where thrombolites are found. There is also much resident wildlife which occasionally accompanies us and in the springtime, vibrant colors from a variety of wildflowers.

Activities to be confirmed per guest request. Our recommendation for today: Full Day To the Base of the Three Towers A legendary route among the hiking community and an eye-opening experience for avid walkers, this is one of the world’s great “bucket list” hikes. The first part is a steep climb, loosely following the natural course of the Ascensio River to Paso de los Vientos, where vegetation is thin on the ground. As you get higher, the views evolve and the mountains come into sight. After a stretch of fairly flat walking on a steep mountainside, you arrive at the “Chileno” refuge. Crossing the river, there is shade and a change of pace on a trail through native forest. Then the terrain changes again, opening out onto a steep rocky hillside, with huge chunks of stone making for challenging walking. The effort of this severe ascent is rewarded by the view of the iconic magnificence of the Towers at the top. Take the time to appreciate both the isolation and grandeur of these mountains, a site which evokes its own sense of perspective.

Activities to be confirmed per guest request. Our recommendation for today: Half Day Horse Riding at Estancia Lazo. If you love nature and horse riding – or you’ve always wanted to try – there’s no better place to do it than here in the wonderland that is Torres del Paine, with the local Chilean gauchos at Estancia Lazo. Located on the southern shore of Lake Sarmiento, the ranch is reached via a beautiful drive along the lake from Tierra Patagonia. At the estancia, we meet our horses and saddle up, ready for an adventure on horseback through mixed terrain and glorious scenery. The first hour is spent riding through an ancient lenga forest, before arriving at a clearing which treats us to astonishing views of the Paine Massif. Looking out over the iconic mountains of the Torres del Paine National Park, is sure to inspire and stay as a warm memory long after you return home.

The area is heavily populated with guanaco, with sentinels watching out for the herd on the top of the hills. In the background, the Three Towers pierce the sky as we head towards the hotel. You can opt to cycle all the way back to Tierra Patagonia, or jump back in the support vehicle when you’re ready to rest – the choice is yours.
