Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic
I did this tour and it was excellent! Our guide, Belém, was super attentive and caring throughout the day. The Caracoles Road is absolutely incredible — it looks like an edited photo, but it’s 100% real. The views are breathtaking and definitely worth the visit. I highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful Chile
The company Brr tour was a grateful surprise in Chile, organized and mediated my tours, gave me valuable tips! They were very attentive to me! I thank assistant Samuel for all support. The tours were perfect, perfect photos, wonderful guides! Being a solo traveler I felt this difference! Beautiful Portilo tour, even without snow, place to take a breath. The picnic at the end makes everything more special!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Portillo Full Day Tour with Picnic?
+
Around 6 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Portillo Full Day Tour with 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 Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., 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.
