Portillo & Laguna del Inca Private Day Tour from Santiago

Leave the city behind and drive into the heart of the Andes on a private day trip to Portillo, one of South America's most famous mountain resorts, and Laguna del Inca, a high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks near the Argentine border. Your driver-guide picks you up at your hotel in Santiago in the morning. The route follows the Aconcagua Valley and climbs the legendary Los Caracoles switchbacks, with photo stops along the way. At Portillo you get around 1.5 to 2 hours of free time to walk, take photos and enjoy the lake and the mountain views. Lunch is available in the area (own cost). In the afternoon you return to Santiago and are dropped off at your hotel. This is a private tour: only your group travels in the vehicle, and the schedule is flexible for photo stops. Price is per group, not per person, which makes it great value for families and friends. Good to know: access to Portillo depends on weather and road conditions on the international road. We confirm access before the tour, and if snow closes the road we offer another date or a full refund.
