Andes/inca tour
It’s really a great experience and worth visiting from Santiago. Snow capped Andes are mind blowing. Our guide Mr. Alvaro is an exceptional guy and very enthusiastic explaining the activity. He took us to a very nice local restaurant for lunch, helped us choosing our food. Highly recommend this 5 star company without any hesitation.

An amazing experience!
This trip was amazing from the beginning to the end! The wine tasting, views of the Andes and the llama stop were all so wonderful. Being up in the Andes was a surreal feeling, and I am so happy I booked this tour. The llamas were really fun too, they were so tame and gentle, especially the baby ones. Our guide, Alvaro, was excellent! He made the whole trip really comfortable and fun, sharing his knowledge of the route, the various stops and Chile with us. He was also very patient, allowing us ample time for photos and lunch. This is an all day trip so ensure you plan accordingly. The snow by the Inca Lagoon was a bit slippery so ensure you have good, durable shoes. 10/10 all around 👌

Our tour was cancelled...
Our tour was cancelled due to unfavourable road conditions. The tour operator offered us an alternative trip to Valle Nevado. We had a lot of fun and loved that we could experience snow during our holiday in Santiago. We were lucky to be the only two attendees and our driver/guide made us feel like VIP. Kudos to Victor Fuentes that we had such a great time. Victor even played BTS songs for me all the trip after I said that I’m ARMY! Thank you so very much.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad that the alternative trip to Valle Nevado turned into such a memorable highlight of your time in Santiago. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Víctor Fuentes. We love that he made the journey extra special with BTS songs for a fellow ARMY! We hope to welcome you back to Chile soon.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 2,198 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included?
+
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 Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included?
+
Around 769 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Inca Lagoon in Andes Mountain Range - Visit Local Vineyard with Tasting included 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.
