A wonderful day trip from Santiago, Chile - A very enjoyable day exploring a couple of very special Chilean sights. The combination of Errazuriz Winery and Laguna del Inca (Portillo) gave us a fantastic taste of local touristic sights. Our guide John (sic) was engaging, enthusiastic, and passionate in his delivery of the tour and it was good to have a more personal experience.

Lovely views, van broke down during trip - We stopped at the Vina Errazuriz winery for a wine tasting, and it was absolutely lovely there. We unfortunately did not get a tour of the winery, but the tasting of the two wines was very nice and relaxed in a beautiful setting. On the way up to the Laguna del Inca, the van overheated and we were stuck on the side of the road in the Andes mountains for 3 1/2 hours. I’m not sure what oversight the company has of the maintenance of the vans they use for transport. After a new van and driver came out to our location, we were able to continue our way up to Hotel Portillo for lunch (and the bathroom!). The views from the dining room were lovely, but the hotel was not serving the full famous Portillos menu, only the “fast food menu”, which was still decent since it included burgers, fries, and other warm sandwiches. On the way back, we made a brief stop to see the view of the switchbacks and then drove back to the hotel in Santiago.

Andes Portillo driving tour - I thought the trip would be different. I didn't realize that there would be so much driving. Once we arrived, we had great views of the lake and canyon. The winery was very nice. Just too much driving for this old guy's liking. The driver was courteous and professional

Beautiful views, good wines, very long day - Our guide was great! He was informative and a very good driver. That matters because we spent 10 hours with him, the majority of which was riding in a mini van. The drive to Portillo was three hours without a rest stop. The road is two lane with lots of big tricks, 32 switchbacks, and magnificent views. The lake is beautiful and interesting, set among ski slopes where olympians train. We were there for an hour. We walked around for a bit then opted to only have a drink at the hotel and had lunch at a nice local restaurant part way down the mountain. The food was authentic Chilean and very good! Our next stop was 1.5 hours away at the Errazuriz winery. We tasted two wines, a Chardonnay and a Carmenere in a beautiful setting. The grounds and gardens are spectacular! We spent about an hour there then drove back to Santiago, which was almost 2 hours. We enjoyed the tour but would have liked to have known how much time we’d be in a car!
