Let's begin the day with a visit to one of the city's most remarkable landmarks: the Bahá’í Temple of South America. This stunning structure is not only a masterpiece of modern architecture but also a gateway to discovering the fascinating principles of the Bahá’í faith. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes, the temple offers a serene setting and breathtaking panoramic views of Santiago — an experience that blends culture, spirituality, and natural beauty in one unforgettable stop.

Stop 2

Explore century-old historic cellars where wine was crafted in the late 19th century, all nestled within the capital. During the tour, you’ll dive into the rich legacy of the Cousiño family while also learning about the vineyard’s cutting-edge sustainable practices.

Led by a professional guide, the experience includes a tasting of four carefully selected wines that perfectly blend tradition and innovation. As a special keepsake, you’ll also receive a complimentary wine glass featuring the winery’s logo.

Discover the semi-precious blue stone found only in Chile and Afghanistan: lapis lazuli. Be welcomed with a sampling of Chilean pisco sour. Explore a variety of crafts and jewelry made with this and other Chilean materials like copper, silver, and more. The perfect spot to buy souvenirs.

It´s almost 17:30 PM and you can decide between us driving you back to your hotel or being dropped off at Patio Bellavista in the nearby night-live district.
