Combine two classic Chilean experiences in one day: a guided rafting run on the Maipo River followed by a tour and tasting at Concha y Toro winery. Expect guided whitewater, a local lunch stop, and a historical vineyard visit — all in an eight-hour door-to-door outing from Santiago.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens with the Maipo River pushing at your raft, its whitewater daring you forward while the Andes hold a cool, stony silence behind. You meet your guide in an air-conditioned van and drive out of Santiago, the city shrinking as scrubby slopes and terraced vineyards take over.

History
Maipo Valley’s viticulture expanded in the 19th century with European techniques; Concha y Toro became a defining estate that exported Chilean wine and built historic cellars now open to visitors.
Conservation
River flows depend on Andean snowpack; practice leave-no-trace on riverbanks and respect vineyard boundaries — many wineries now employ water-efficient and sustainable viticulture practices.
