Hola Amigos!!!! Thank you for choosing Santiago as your holiday destination. I am Myriam and I have been working in the field of tourism since 1999 (hotels, restaurants and travel agencies) but I always wanted to be a tour guide. I made my dream come true in 2007, falling in love with my country, my city, its history and its charming and cute places. I also have been leading groups through Chile and Argentina. I am 100% Chilean and I have lived my entire life in Santiago but traveled abroad and through Chile extensively. I would be honored to have the opportunity to introduce my homeland to you. I love welcoming foreigners to the country I love so much and the city where I grew up. I like to share my knowledge about history, wine, people and culture. I will show Santiago and its surrounding areas with tours that I offer, as well as customized tours, tailored to meet your needs, both with a view as a local would see it. Including less crowded places - off the beaten path whenever possible. Since I will share so many stories, maps and images with you I prefer to hire a driver for our private van so I can focus on travelers, also it will give us more time and independence because we don´t need to look for parking space or go back to the same place where the car is parked, the driver will pick us up wherever we need as much as possible. Do you want to learn why are we called the British of South America? Why do we have a sweet tooth? Why people of almost every Latin American country make fun of the Chilean spanish? I invite you to learn this and much more with interesting and juicy stories of Chile. I am looking forward to meeting you in Santiago to give you the most unforgettable travel experience.

Overview of your Santiago tour

Portillo Hotel is the oldest ski resort in South America, located in the Andes mountains of Chile it is located 160 km or 100 mi away from Santiago, right in the heart of the Andes. The hotel sits at an elevation of 2, 880 m (9, 450 ft) above sea level. The Hotel sits on the stunning alpine Inca Lagoon surrounded by Andean peaks passing the 15,000 foot range. On the way, if we are lucky, we can spot de Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Andes. On the route to get to Portillo Hotel we will stop in Aconcagua wine district where you have 2 options of tour: 1- Have a hike of 30 minutes up on a 45 degrees slope where you can see some petroglyphs of the Incas enjoying a fantastic view of the valley If you can´t hike you have the second option: 2- Have a tour and tasting in a winery After this activity we continue our adventure to the Andes mountains, once we get to Portillo Hotel, time to have lunch at the restaurant of the hotel with a spectacular view of the Inca lake. After lunch we can explore the area.

At the last minute, we asked Myriam to change the tour from Andes Mountain to full day tour of Santiago. She did so and made financial arrangements for the reduction in the price difference. She arrived on time with a wonderful driver in a nice van. Myriam was able to give excellent commentary on the sites, history, and politics of Santiago/Chile and as a bonus Myriam is an expert on wine. The woman driver allowed us to easily be dropped off and picked up utilizing our tour time most efficiently..

Myriam is a wonderful guide and the Andes was an amazing tour. We stopped off for a visit to see petroglyphs (short but steep hike) Scenery was amazing in the Andes and the lunch at the ski resort was tasty Myriam is extremely knowledgeable and very flexible.
