Discover the Heart of Chilean Agriculture: A Half-Day Immersion
Chile is a global leader in food production and exports, renowned for its avocados, cherries, kiwis, nuts, hemp, and more. Nestled in the heart of the country, Santiago thrives within a dry Mediterranean climate, surrounded by Chile’s most fertile lands. On this immersive half-day agricultural tour, we invite you to connect with local producers, explore their farms, and uncover the secrets behind their exceptional practices.
You’ll have the unique opportunity to choose between two distinct experiences, each offering a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of Chile.
Option 1: A Family-Run Permaculture Farm
Step into the world of a family-operated permaculture farm, where tradition meets sustainability. Your host will guide you through their compact yet incredibly productive property, showcasing a remarkable variety of crops and innovative management techniques. From free-roaming horses that enrich the soil to fire-guard cacti, this farm exemplifies the timeless wisdom passed down from one generation to the next.
Many of the species cultivated here are heritage varieties, with seed conservation playing an integral role alongside seasonal production. As you wander through lush fields, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry of sustainable farming and the heartfelt dedication of your hosts. This experience offers a blend of natural beauty, valuable insights, and authentic connections.
Option 2: A Historic Dairy Farm on a Colonial Estate
For a step back in time, visit a working dairy farm set on a sprawling colonial country estate. Gustavo, your gracious host, will introduce you to the animals, lead you through the corrals, and provide a hands-on look at the art of cheese-making.
Your visit doesn’t end there—explore the estate’s charming house, chapel, and gardens while learning about colonial Chile, Gustavo’s family traditions, and the rich history of the Chilean countryside. This tour is perfect for history buffs and food enthusiasts alike, offering a harmonious blend of agricultural insights and cultural heritage.
