Chile’s Coastal Vistas & Vineyards

Sweeping coastlines rise to Andean hills. The spectacular Route of the Sea leads to quaint fishing villages. And lush vineyards produce world-renowned wines. The snow-capped Andes preside over this magnificent itinerary, from the elegant estates of Zapallar and dramatic setting of seaside Valparaíso to the pastoral viniculture of the Casablanca Valley. From Pacific byways where penguins and sea lions reside, to inland foothills, you’ll discover the passionate Chilean spirit – in the warm hospitality you’ll experience as you set out to sea with a local fisherman, create your own wine blend with an expert sommelier, visit a fifth-generation winery and savor seaside spas, an historic wine hacienda and comfortable inns. This is a Chile bike tour like no other!
