Explore the Chilean wilds on bold excursions into the mountainous landscape around the exclusive Las Majadas Hotel, where you will luxuriate between adventures and partake in wine tastings, spa services, cooking classes and more if you wish. The activities that you can select will place you in direct contact with nature, the unique flavors of the Maipo Valley and the sounds and colors of the Andes Mountain range.

Day 1

After disembarking the ship in Santiago, Chile, you will meet your guide and transfer directly to Maipo Valley, where you will take part in an exclusive RSSC group tour to Haras de Pirque. Drive time is approximately 2-2.5 hours. This vineyard is in one of the finest wine-producing areas of the Maipo Valley at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The wines produced here typically feature a high concentration of tannins, great structure and intense color. The native vegetation of myrtles and boldos sometimes impart the wines with balsamic characteristics.

The winery itself has been uniquely designed in a horseshoe shape paying homage to the thoroughbred farm that is located a short distance away. The winery is located on a hillside and was designed to integrate gravity flow technology into all phases of wine production limiting the use of mechanical pumps. As a result, the grapes are handled as gently as possible extracting only the softest tannins and preserving balance and precision.

Today, all the wines and vineyards of Haras de Pirque are organic and certified by the CERES institute which means that only environmentally friendly products are used in the production process.

You will be shown the wine-making process and will taste several of the most distinctive wines. Lunch at the winery follows.

Then, proceed to your hotel, Las Majadas, a truly unique hotel, inspired by nature and located in the Pirque region.

The estate that Las Majadas occupies has been part of Pirque’s history since the 16th century. One of its owners constructed the Pirque Canal that carries water from the Maipo River through the valley and another built the French chateau-like palace at Las Majadas in the early 20th century. A centenary park with more than a thousand trees, including sequoias, palms and Lebanese cedars surrounds the property.

The modern Las Majadas Hotel, where you will stay for four evenings, opened in 2016. Its minimalist interior offers quite the contrast to the ornate palace also located on the grounds, which is used for special events and certain hotel activities. The Sequoia Restaurant within the hotel provides an extraordinary gastronomic experience in an intimate setting. The Kura Spa offers a multitude of treatments and massages to soothe body and soul.

After check-in, the remainder of the day will be yours to enjoy as you please.

Based on your arrival time, you may choose 1 half-day excursion for the afternoon, but also will be able to choose your activities for the next days, which can be 2 half-day excursions or 1 full day excursion.

Available options can be viewed on the website: https://www.lasmajadas.cl/en/programas/full-board-program/

Take note of the activity level as some require walking great distances at high altitudes.

The knowledgeable Excursion Team at the hotel will be able to give you a complete list of all the experiences and excursions available while you are there. Pre-booking is not required.

Excursions. Numerous spectacularly scenic hikes and treks are available through valleys, into the mountains and foothills, to ancient glaciers and to the Maipo River. Horseback riding, vineyard visits, cooking, grilling and cocktail making classes are also available on select days of the week. Choose the ones that sound most interesting to you.

Note: Please take in consideration that some excursions are weather dependent.

Wine talks (fee). Taste three wines from Maipo Valley vineyards in the Las Majadas wine cellar. Executive Director of Vinifera and Sommelier Gonzalo Rojas Aguilera will share his knowledge of the wines to enhance the experience.

Meditation classes. Free daily.

Tavern on site, open Fridays and Saturdays or if the property is at full occupancy. Sip a cocktail or glass of wine from a Maipo Valley vineyard, the perfect complement to live music in this 100-year-old bar. When the tavern is not open, there is another bar located in the main hotel.

Sequoia Restaurant. Enjoy an unmatched gastronomic experience with dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, complemented by local wines.

Piano Bar. Sip a signature cocktail or a glass of local wine as the pianist plays favorite songs.

Kura Spa (fee). Relax in a calming environment with a massage, aromatherapy, hot stone treatments and other therapies.

Note:

There will not be a guide staying with the group at the hotel; however, during your stay you will be assigned a Regent representative whose contact details will be provided to you with his/her name and number should you require anything that the lodge staff cannot assist with.

Spend three wonderfully relaxing days and nights doing whatever you please at the Colchagua Valley’s most extraordinary hotel and winery, where the options include a cooking class, wine tastings, horseback riding and enjoying the boundless amenities. This is followed by one last evening to unwind in Chile’s capital city, Santiago.

Note: Due to the number of steps required to access Viña Vik hotel and the bungalow rooms, this program is not available for guests who require the use of a wheelchair.

DAY 1

Disembark the ship in San Antonio, Chile and meet your driver and escort. Transfer through the countryside to Viña Vik, whose name in the local indigenous language means “valley of small lagoons”. The land was originally the home of Mapuche warrior tribes and later marked the southern boundary of the Inca Empire. Drive time is approximately 2.5-3-hour drive depending on traffic.

Upon reaching Millahue (in the Cachapoal Valley), you will arrive at Viña Vik, an architecturally extraordinary hotel and winery. A visionary blend of wine, architecture, landscape and luxury, this property has always placed innovation and science at the center of everything it does.

Much of the hotel is built into the natural landscape and capped with an incredible undulating titanium roof that can be seen from miles around. From the winery below and when the sun is shining, the roof appears to be made of gold. This stunning feature was built this way to pay homage to the valley which was nicknamed “Lugar de Oro or Golden Place” by the native Mapuche people. Norwegian entrepreneur Alexander Vik, with his keen eye for designing stunning buildings, has truly created a property that is like no other.

The hotel features twenty-two individually decorated and distinctive suites and seven bungalows with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the breath-taking views. Decorated according to individual themes, the suites and bungalows feature exclusive art and design, from elegant pieces of furniture to inspired murals and decorations, as well as exquisite sculptures and paintings. Your luxurious Pura Vik Bungalow includes 360-degree views, a terrace and private hot tub.

Upon arrival, your visit will start with a tour and tasting of the renowned wines of Vik Winery. As you look around the entire property you will see 4,400 hectares of astonishing Chilean wilderness in which only approximately 327 hectares of vines have been planted. This majestic and natural landscape is composed of 12 valleys, each one with its own micro-climate, distinct exposures, all within a wind-tunnel cooled by Pacific coastal breezes and winds from high up in the Andes mountains that provide VIK with enormous complexity and exceptional variety.

After your tour of the winery, you will proceed to the hotel for check in and lunch at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Following a short tour to become acquainted with the amenities of the hotel and winery, you will spend the remainder of the day participating in whichever activity you choose.

Throughout your stay, take time to unwind at the cantilevered slate pool that extends out over the valleys and the lake below. (Insider tip: The sunsets are quite spectacular from the pool deck!). Enjoy delicious meals that are served in a variety of settings, from the indoor dining room to the expansive outdoor terraces that look out onto the valley, lake and vineyard or even in their newly opened and rustic “garden to table” BBQ restaurant.

At the spa, you may wish to pamper yourself and indulge in a massage, facial or body scrub using products made from grapes grown on the property (additional cost) and in the evening perhaps enjoy stargazing beneath incredibly clear night skies.

Optional activities that are included during your stay are:

•Orchard tour with seeds and flower tasting

•Wine tasting paired with creamy chocolates

•Mixology class

•Bicycling, hiking and bird watching

•Enjoying the hotel sauna, swimming pool and game room

Additional activities may be available for purchase. Your Viña Vik Concierge will be able to assist in setting up your schedule. Note: There may be other hotel guests participating in the same experiences.

Later in the day, dinner will be provided at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Another insider tip: Be sure to check out the “art wall” in the restaurant – see if you can spot the RSSC logo and don’t be afraid to add your own personal touch!

Note: There are approximately 25-30 steps up to enter the hotel from the vehicle drop off area. Pura Vik Bungalows at Viña Vik are separate from the main building and along with the 25-30 steps to go down once you exit the main building, there is also a downward sloping brick paved driveway and then approximately 8-10 steps down to reach each bungalow.

DAY 2

After breakfast, the RSSC group will set out on a horseback ride along trails with immediate views of the vineyard and mountains. Note how the winery has been designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape and can barely be seen over the vines depending on your vantage point. After returning, refresh and then proceed to a cooking class activity. This experience includes a visit to the organic vegetable garden, where guests will be able to hand pick the various ingredients that will later be used in the cooking class. The experience ends with a tasting of the dishes paired with Vik’s iconic wines.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure. Choose to relax or participate in one of the optional activities. Please consult with the hotel concierge for a list of your included optional activities operating on this day.

Dinner is included at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Note: Horseback ride is not mandatory but is included for our group. The ride is slow and easy around the vineyard with several stops along the way for photos should you wish, therefore previous experience is not necessary.

Please check with Reception for meeting location and time.

DAY 3

After breakfast, the day can be spent doing whatever you wish. Please consult with the hotel concierge for a list of your included optional activities operating on this day. We recommend enjoying lunch at the restaurant adjacent to the winery for lunch.

This evening, enjoy a BBQ Countryside group dinner to crown your visit at Viña VIK Hotel.

DAY 4

After breakfast, morning will be at leisure until check out time (12:00 pm latest). Then, proceed to Mila Mila Restaurant for lunch, bid farewell to your Vik hosts and drive towards Santiago. Check in upon your arrival at your hotel (drive time is approximately 2.5-3 hours depending on traffic). The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure.

This evening, dinner is on your own. The hotel is located within walking proximity to a variety of restaurants and bars. Your hotel concierge will be happy to assist with any dinner recommendations and reservations.

Transfer note: For guests who would prefer a quicker transfer, the hotel has a helicopter pad and transfers may be arranged independently from the hotel to Santiago.

DAY 5

After breakfast at the hotel, check out (latest at 12 noon). Transfers to the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago will be arranged according to flight details received. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer.

Experience the natural and architectural wonders of Chile by driving through the majestic Andes, exploring cities such as colonial Valparaiso and the capital of Santiago, and by tasting some of the country’s premier wines.

Day 1

Following disembarkation in San Antonio, Chile, you will meet your guide and then proceed for a tour of colonial Valparaiso, which UNESCO deemed a World Heritage site for being an excellent representation of late 19th-century urban development. As you drive through the city’s steep winding streets, you will pass the Parliament building, Fisherman’s Wharf, Plaza Sotomayor and the Naval Academy. You will also ride a cable car to a lookout that presents sweeping views over the city and bay.

After lunch at a local restaurant, proceed towards Chile’s capital city, Santiago, where you will be dropped off at your hotel for check in. The afternoon is at your leisure and in the evening join your group for dinner at the hotel.

Day 2

After breakfast, you will board a coach and begin a tour that will include the most important highlights of historical and modern Santiago, including the presidential palace, San Francisco Church and the Plaza de Armas with a visit to the Cathedral.

You will then proceed to the Santa Rita Vineyard, located just 45 minutes away from Santiago. Placed in the foothill zone of Alto Jahuel, in Buin, the vineyard is surrounded by an extraordinary natural environment. The tour will reveal the characteristic wines produced here.

Afterwards, you will pause for lunch at Restaurant Doña Paula. This national monument honors Paula Jaraquemada, who owned the main house of the Santa Rita Estate more than 200 years ago.

The estate was the setting for significant historical occurrences associated to Chile’s independence. General Bernardo O’Higgins and 120 soldiers took refuge there after a battle against the forces of the Spanish crown. The winery’s Santa Rita 120 line of products was named to honor those 120 patriots.

After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Santiago. The evening will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

As you begin your journey into the Andes, weather permitting, you may be able to see Mount Aconcagua in the distance. As you climb higher, you will surely be impressed as the mountainous scenery unfolds and the guide explains the natural history of the Andes.

Portillo is located at high above sea level next to the Laguna del Inca with its emerald green waters. The World Ski Championship was held here in 1966 – the only one held in South America until 1990.

Experience the natural and architectural wonders of Chile by driving through the majestic Andes, exploring cities such as colonial Valparaiso and the capital of Santiago, and by tasting some of the country’s premier wines.

Day 1

Following disembarkation in San Antonio, Chile, you will meet your guide and then proceed for a tour of colonial Valparaiso, which UNESCO deemed a World Heritage site for being an excellent representation of late 19th-century urban development. As you drive through the city’s steep winding streets, you will pass the Parliament building, Fisherman’s Wharf, Plaza Sotomayor and the Naval Academy. You will also ride a cable car to a lookout that presents sweeping views over the city and bay.

After lunch at a local restaurant, proceed towards Chile’s capital city, Santiago, where you will be dropped off at your hotel for check in. The afternoon is at your leisure and in the evening join your group for dinner at the hotel.

Day 2

After breakfast, you will board a coach and begin a tour that will include the most important highlights of historical and modern Santiago, including the presidential palace, San Francisco Church and the Plaza de Armas with a visit to the Cathedral. You will continue through the newer residential areas of the city and stop at the top of San Cristobal Hill for a breathtaking view of Santiago.

You will then proceed to the Santa Rita Vineyard, located just 45 minutes away from Santiago. Placed in the foothill zone of Alto Jahuel, in Buin, the vineyard is surrounded by an extraordinary natural environment. The tour will reveal the characteristic wines produced here.

Afterwards, you will pause for lunch at Restaurant Doña Paula. This national monument honors Paula Jaraquemada, who owned the main house of the Santa Rita Estate more than 200 years ago.

The estate was the setting for significant historical occurrences associated to Chile’s independence. General Bernardo O’Higgins and 120 soldiers took refuge there after a battle against the forces of the Spanish crown. The winery’s Santa Rita 120 line of products was named to honor those 120 patriots.

After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Santiago. The evening will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

Day 3

After breakfast, you will enjoy a scenic drive towards the Andes mountain range for a tour of Portillo, which is considered one of the best ski resorts of the world. Along the way, you will pass through the fertile Aconcagua Province and stop briefly at the monument to the Battle of Chacabuco, which signifies the independence of Chile.

As you begin your journey into the Andes, weather permitting, you may be able to see Mount Aconcagua in the distance. As you climb higher, you will surely be impressed as the mountainous scenery unfolds and the guide explains the natural history of the Andes.

Portillo is located at high above sea level next to the Laguna del Inca with its emerald green waters. The World Ski Championship was held here in 1966 – the only one held in South America until 1990. You will stop at the lake for photos and to enjoy lunch at a restaurant before returning to Santiago.

Back at the hotel, the evening will be at your leisure with dinner is on your own.

Eighty meters high and 3 kilometers wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

The Iguazú River Delta is located in the center of a sub-tropical forest spanning 457,000 acres and possesses unique characteristics that have made it an important economic and ecological reserve for its neighboring countries. The area is inhabited by over four hundred different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.

On this overland adventure you will have the opportunity to view the falls from both the Brazilian and Argentinian parks.

Special Notes: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery.

Walking through the low circuit catwalks, discover part of the falls from a unique view, getting close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water.

Enjoy a buffet lunch inside the National Park and after lunch, take a ride on the Iguazu Eco-Train to visit one of the wonders of the world, the impressive Garganta Del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). This is where the Iguazu River crashes down almost 80 meters forming rainbows and is a stunning sight to see.
