This full-day bus tour from Santiago lasts about 10 hours and includes lunch at Hotel Portillo. The tour begins at Parque Arauco mall, where participants meet at the Turistik Parking area near Ripley's store. The guide and group then travel through the Andes Mountains toward the Chile-Argentina border. Along the way, the tour stops at the Salto del Soldado viewpoint for about 30 minutes to see a rocky formation where the Aconcagua River flows through. This spot is named after a patriot soldier who reportedly escaped pursuers by jumping across the rocks. The route continues along the Chile-Argentina border, the longest international land border in South America, with a brief stop to observe the area. The main destination is the Portillo Ski Center, a well-known winter resort favored by many professional skiers. Visitors spend about four hours here, including time to see Laguna del Inca, a lagoon noted for its intense blue color amid the snowy landscape. The tour provides opportunities for photos and a chance to enjoy the mountain scenery. Included in the price are lunch at Hotel Portillo, a bilingual guide, round-trip transfers exclusive to the group, and vehicle air conditioning. Snow gear and ski activities are not included. The return trip ends back at Parque Arauco mall, where participants can explore shops and restaurants on their own.
