Explore the fertile countryside of the Colchagua Valley at your own pace over two relaxing days of driving.

The rolling hills and sun-dappled vineyards of the Colchagua valley are a world away from urban Santiago. Quiet roads and gorgeous scenery make this ideal driving country, and within just a couple of days you can explore the region’s fertile valleys, small villages and peaceful wine estates to your heart’s content. In the evenings, retire to your accommodation in Santa Cruz, an attractive provincial town well-stocked with places to eat and drink.
