Extra days - Culture & Nature

Duration:
1 Day

Description

Half day horseback ride
The horse continues to be an important means of transportation in rural areas of Central Chile. The rural Chilean horses are usually small, sturdy, used to daily work and easy to handle. So they are well suited to beginners. This is the most enjoyable way to discover the Chilean countryside.
Price: 170 EUR

Half day City tour around Talca
The city was founded in 1742. The name is derived from a Mapuche term meaning "site of thunder". The "Plaza de Armas" is shaded by exotic species like jacarandas, cedars, palms, magnolias and various conifers. Around the square are the main public buildings; the commercial street is 1 Sur. At the market you can find handicrafts and inexpensive food stalls offering the regional specialities. We are going to visit as well the O´Higginiano Museum, where the Chilean Independence Act was signed. This old colonial-style house is well preserved, with two inner courtyards housing valuable collections of art.
Price: 110 EUR

Wineries & Colonial Villages
Central Chile is famous for its top-notch wines. It is especially worthwhile visiting the old vineyards with their adobe cellars and landscaped parks. Many winemakers are within a couple of kilometers of "Casa Chueca". Some traditional-style vineyards lure their guests with their tasty treasures such as "Casa Donoso", "Casanova", "Balduzzi" or "Calina". Sleepy villages with cobblestone streets, tree-lined boulevards, and cheerfully painted adobe houses tell of by gone times. The reserved charm of these places, their slow beat and the inhibited friendliness of their inhabitants will often only be appreciated at second glance. Villa Alegre and Yerbas Buenas belong to the most beautiful villages in Central Chile. In Rari we are going to see local handicrafts made from horsehair.

Rafting
Descending rivers like Teno, Maule, Corel, Lircay, Lontué, Maule or Achibueno, which depending on season are grade 3+, will be a great experience, even for beginners. Please note that we need a minimum of four people.
Preice: 180 EUR

Siete Tazas National Park
There are seven "tazas" or round basins that Claro River has carved into the black basalt rock of the Pre-Cordillera. This narrow gorge in the midst of green virgin forest is an impressive sight to behold. There are several pretty places for taking a dip in this clear, green-shimmering river. From the Conaf building, a trail leads through the awe-inspiring Southern Beech forest to Valle del Indio.
