Experience

Highlights
  • Enjoy an 9-hour private tour with free hotel or airport pickup
  • Interact with alpacas and learn about wool production
  • Stroll along a stone path following the coastline to have a glimpse at Humboldt penguins
Full description
After your hotel pick up, venture towards the Pacific Coast. You will visit the largest privately-owned alpaca farm in the world where you can interact with these beautiful animals up close. See the entire alpaca wool production process and enjoy a broad selection of exclusive creations and handmade art crafts. Afterwards, you will continue up the coastline on the Ruta del Pacifico to the town of Cachagua, a stone's throw from Penguin Island. Try to catch a glimpse of penguins by the naked eye or using binoculars. Walk along a beautifully carved pathway to a small cove with gorgeous views of the ocean. Afterward, stop for lunch in the quiet seaside resort town of Zapallar. Penguin sightings from the shore are most common during the summer months of November to March. During these months there are several hundred penguins on the island. Between April and October, the penguin population reduces to only a dozen or so. Therefore, please be aware that during these months it may not be possible to see the penguins on the island from the shore. However, you will have the option of joining a private boat tour for an extra fee. This option is available throughout the year.

We debated on whether to take this tour, and we are so glad we did! We got up close and personal with the alpacas, feeding them and even holding a baby. The information provided about weaving the wool was interesting, and the fabric created was very soft and high quality. For penguin island, we took the optional boat ride, and we recommend doing it. We got very close to the penguins by being on the boat, and the pictures were excellent. In addition to penguins, there were many other types of birds, but we particularly liked the pelicans. Daniel from Chile Dream Tours is an excellent guide, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone!

I would like to thank Mr. Sean our multilingual tour guide for the Santiago : Pacific Treasures Private tour. I was able to visit all the locations as listed in the tour itinerary with ease as Mr Sean planned and coordinated the movement between places really well. He was very knowledgeable about Chile’s culture and history which gave us interesting insights as he drove through a very scenic and enjoyable routes. The alpaca farm was the highlight of the tour as we got a chance to interact with a pioneering entrepreneur in alpaca wool production process. If we had more time at Santiago we would have engaged Mr. Sean for other day trips. Our comfort was his utmost priority throughout the trip. I highly recommend his private tour services around Santiago and Chile to all.
