Testimonials

We had a great day, hiking in Cascada de las Animas in the foothills of the Andes, had a great lunch of traditional Chilean food, stopped at San Alfonso and San Jose, and ended with a visit to the winery. Super easy communication with Francesca who helped us customize the day to our interests.

What a great evening! Yes, it is a bit more expensive than some of the other tours you can do in the Santiago region, but so worth it. Damaso and his colleague Franco describe themselves as “romantic astronomers”. You spend the evening in their garden on the outskirts of Santiago. The garden is a quiet paradise full of telescopes of all shapes and sizes. You start of watching sunspots and solar flares on the setting sun, then move to the planets in the evening light and finally to the stars/satellites after dark. Throughout you will be plied with charcuterie board, snacks, ceviche and endless wine while entertained by the hosts.

Francisca at Chile Off Track was super helpful in getting all the logistics sorted for this evening.

What amazing adventures I had with Chile Off Track! I can honestly say this vacation changed me. The tour through Colchagua Valley was fantastic. The winery operators had so much passion for their products, took the time to take us through the vineyard in a horse-drawn carriage and offered an impressive array of varietals and wine education – truly a comprehensive experience. The Santiago walking tour provided a fascinating look at the history, art and culture of this bustling city.I learned so much about the country as a whole. What made both of these tours so enjoyable were the 2 guides; Constanza and Francesca. They were so enthusiastic and charming, I learned so much from both of them and really enjoyed my time and certainly made some new friends.

We planned a day trip from Santiago with Francesca, who was very helpful in customizing the trip to our interests. We hiked in Cascada de las Animas, had a lovely lunch of traditional Chilean food in a local restaurant, and stopped by the chocolate house at San Alfonso. We also had the visit to the winery planned, but we were too tired to make it 😂. Overall, a really fun day and easy communication from A to Z.

Fabulous star party with local experience. Thank you for a new perspective on ancient astronomy and Chilean culture.

Highlight of our trip

We had an INCREDIBLE ride through the Andes, made even more memorable by our wonderful guide Janine! She was so friendly and easy to communicate with- answering questions and confirming pick up locations over WhatsApp before our tour even started.

Talking with Janine was like talking with an old friend, and on the drive to the ranch she pointed out landmarks and neighborhoods.

We were greeted at the ranch by horses, cats, dogs, and a handsome ranch hand! We went riding almost right away. Janine chatted to us easily about the landscape and surrounding area while gently guiding our horses and as well as encouraging them to pick up the pace!

We had so much fun riding up an down the steep hills while Janine took numerous photos so we could have pictures to remember the experience.

After the ride, Janine set up a delicious picnic for us complete with local wines and cheeses while we played with the 6week old puppies! If you love animals and nature-this is the trip for you. We were in puppy, cat and horse heaven!

Chile Off Track was professional and fun especially because of our wonderful guide! This adventure was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Santiago!

Day Trip to Portillo in Summer

Great bilingual guide, great organization, really personal touch from this boutique agency. This is the third time I’ve had them organize a day trip for my visitors. They are really great at tailoring a trip to meet your requests!

We took an amazing drive up to Portillo, worth a visit even in summer because of the beautiful lagoon and the spectacular mountains. At their recommendation, on the way, we visited the Von Siebenthal boutique vineyard and were treated to a tour of this beautiful property. It was a treat to hear the owner’s very personal and passionate take on the production of fine wines. Next, lunch at an amazing French restaurant hidden in the Aconcagua valley, Le Maison de France, (also at their recommendation). Finally up to Portillo itself. A full day trip with no rushing.

Sunset Horseback Ride

This was a wonderful tour. Janine picked us up and she was extremely pleasant. She made us feel comfortable and her and Orlando took us on a great ride (we had very little experience). The scenery is beautiful and we had a lovely picnic after the ride. would highly recommend this tour.

Our group of three had a great time with Chile Off Track, and would highly recommend! Their friendly and inviting staff made this experience enjoyable for all!

We had a great time hiking in the Yerba Loca area. Our guide, Gaston, was very knowledgeable. We are avid hikers and he adjusted the pace and the trajectory to suite our interests and abilities. The park is beautiful and you get good views of glaciers in the Andes. We enjoyed our lively discussions with Gaston on a range of topics. After the hike we had a very lovely lunch in the shade. All in all a delightful trip.
