New Tour Torres Del Paine

A new excursion for trekkig fans in Torres del Paine has been added.

Trekking to Condor & Cuernos Viewpoint is a full day excursion that starts in

Puerto Natales and will enter the park via Laguna Amarga. By vehicle we will

approach Salto Grande to start there an easy level trek up to Cuernos Viewpoint.

Box lunch will be carried and enjoyed at the camping area of Pehoé to later take

a medium level trek up to Cóndor Viewpoint. The excursion brings you back to

Puerto Natales at the end of the day.

Biking in Puerto Varas

Bike tours have since long became a trend. Therefore, we have recently added

a couple of excursions that start in Puerto Varas and involve cycling along the

Llanquihue Lake to either pay a visit to Playa Venado dairy farm, and continuing

onto Río Pescado, or the one to Chester Beer Brewery. Both available in private

and regular services.

Sundowner Tour

Our new additions to the excursions alternatives in Santiago are an

excellent way to relax and chill at the end of the day.

Our sundowner tours take our guests to visit the Nueva Costanera Neighborhood

in Vitacura, enjoy a stroll about the area, its galleries, park and sidewalks, a wine

sensory wine adventure at Vinolia, and dinner at Cuerovaca. The tour is available

with or without dinner.

Renewable Energy

In 2013, the Chilean government passed Law 20.698, or the “Non-Conventional

Renewable Energy Law”. Such law promotes all sources of clean energy, and

establishes Chile’s commitment to generate 20% of its electricity from

renewables by 2025. Following this path, in 2016 the largest photovoltaic plant

in Latin America opened in Vallenar, amidst Atacama Desert producing 500 GWh

of clean energy. Following that plan several have bloomed. One of them, El

Pelícano plant near Coquimbo, together with San Juan de Aceituno in

Antofagasta will generate power to move the Metro de Santiago (Santiago’s

underground train system), turning this mean of transportation into the first one

in the world operating with 60% of energy that comes from the sun and/or the

wind.

Along the same line, in the hotel industry, Tierra Atacama has applied a hybrid

photovoltaic/ diesel system that supplies a 100% of the energetic demand of their

complex during the day. The hotel located in the Atacama desert is not connected

to the electric grid, therefore the need to produce their own energy, originally with

diesel but gradually turning into solar since 2013. This effort has reduced their

carbon path as well as it has put them in the aim of the DENA (German Energy

Agency), entity that has rewarded them as a highly remarkable project and and

example for the industry.

Awa Hotel on the shore of the Llanquihue lake, at less than half hour from Puerto

Varas. Now, after slightly over a year since it started operations, has opened to

its guests their Private Villa, a 3229 sq. ft. modern cottage with an splendid “over

the lake feeling” and views. This two-story building has a living room, full kitchen

and dining room for ten diners on the ground floor, and a suite and two more

bedrooms on the top one.

New National Parks at Patagonia

5

President Michelle Bachelet has recently just signed into law the creation of five

National Parks that encompasses 1m acres land in Patagonia donated by

Douglas Tompkins posthumously via her widow, Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, and

another 9.3 acres of state controlled land provided by the Chilean goverment.

The president stated: "it is an invitation to imagine other form to use our land. To

use natural resources in a way that does not destroy them. To have sustainable

development - the only profitable economic development in the long term".

Rough Guides

recommended destination for 2018. This time, Rough Guide is pointing readers

on our direction based on outdoor adventure resource, and variety of sceneries.
