Unforgettable Day Trip from Santiago – Inca Lagoon, Wine & Llamas! - had the most incredible experience on this guided tour from Santiago, visiting the breathtaking Inca Lagoon, the charming InSitu Vineyard, and an adorable little llama sanctuary.
The day started with a scenic drive into the Andes, where we were treated to absolutely amazing views at Inca Lagoon – the turquoise waters surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks were simply stunning and a definite highlight of the trip. It’s one of those places that photos barely do justice!
Next, we visited the InSitu Vineyard, which had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The wine was fantastic – rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the surroundings. It was a great place to relax, soak in the views, and enjoy the company of fellow travelers.
The surprise favorite, though, was the llama sanctuary. The llamas were so cute and friendly, and it added such a fun and unique twist to the day. Definitely something you don’t expect to enjoy as much as you do!
What made the trip even more special was our guide, Seba. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history, geography, and culture of Chile. He kept us all engaged with fascinating stories and facts throughout the day. And shoutout to Oscar, our driver, who navigated the mountain roads smoothly and safely, and was also a pro with the camera – capturing some amazing shots of the group and the scenery.
If you’re looking for a memorable day trip from Santiago that combines nature, culture, wine, and adorable animals – this is the one!
