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.

Disappointed - Tour cancelled by the Operator .Refund not received. Really disappointed by cancelation at the last moment. Wasted one day because of the tour operator failure. Viator is responsible to get the refund to me.
