What to do and see in Valle Central, Valle Central: The Best City Tours

December 18, 2021 Jana Sager

Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide

We were looking forward to this tour and visiting Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Tour guide arrived 1/3 late because of ‘traffic’. When we got on the bus only two single seats available. The old bus was too crowded with 15 people on board. The seats were fit for children, not adults. Patched up sun roof held together with tape. One person had to sit between the driver and tour guide! Very uncomfortable. We stopped at a roadside tourist wine tasting/cafeteria/gift store for 1/2 hr. This was 20 min into the trip. The tour of Valparaíso was good as we walked a lot of streets. We were taken to two places in Viña del Mar. One a little garden as you drive into town and the second a statue from Easter Island. We were dropped off at a restaurant for 1-1/2 hrs and then waited another 20 min for the driver and tour operator to return. Way too long and a waste of time for lunch (at our expense).

Enjoyed the scenery, and culture within the community. It missed out on the 4 star review because the hygiene and service could be improved drastically. To further enhance improvements, I would recommend that this is fit for a family of 4, as it depends on your tour. The tour around the city is spetacular, but the wine tours need to be further enhanced. Anyways, I enjoyed most of the experience.
