An unforgettable day in Portillo and the Laguna del Inca ❄️💙
We visited Portillo and the Laguna del Inca and it was a day we enjoyed very much. We loved getting to know this place, enjoying its landscapes, and learning a little bit more about Chile during the tour. Thanks to Go Tour Chile for organizing this experience, to Nicolás for being such a kind guide and sharing his knowledge with us, and to Juanito for his kindness, professionalism, and excellent disposition throughout the trip.

Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How does Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic compare to similar tours in Santiago?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Santiago, with an Outty Ranking of 71. At $85 it is priced in line with similar options (typically $70). Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 6-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $85, close to the $70 typical for similar experiences in Santiago.
How much does Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.
Is Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santiago?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santiago?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic?
+
Included: Snacks; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide. Not included: Lunch; Thermal clothing; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Adventure in Portillo: Laguna del Inca and Mountain Picnic?
+
