Embark on an immersive experience through one of the most exclusive and charming destinations on the Central Coast of Chile.

We begin our journey from Santiago to Zapallar, an architectural and natural treasure. The adventure begins with a low difficulty trekking to Cerro La Cruz, Sanctuary of Nature with breathtaking views and unique biodiversity. From its viewpoint you can see Cachagua Island and its marine fauna, including Humboldt penguins in season.

Weather permitting, we will board a local boat alongside a fisherman with decades of experience, living a vibrant journey between authentic tales and the thrill of sailing the Pacific Ocean.

After sailing, our guide will invite you to enjoy a patty of fresh produce, paired with a selected Chilean wine. The day culminates with a walk to the beaches of Las Cujas or Cachagua, where nature and coastal architecture create an unforgettable landscape.

    Zapallar

    Just 1 hour and a half from Santiago, 80km north of Valparaíso, Zapallar ("place of pumpkins" in Mapudungun) will captivate you with its beautiful landscapes and you can understand why in the 60's it captivated a host of European architects who left its legacy in what are currently the houses of the sector. Just meters from the white sand beach and crystal clear waters, classic Italian and German architecture will transport you to a dream place.
