A low coastal wind pushes salt and eucalyptus across the path as you step into Parque Tricao’s gated reserve: hundreds of birds wheel overhead in an aviary so large flight feels natural again. The air smells of wet grasses from the Giverny wetland and richer, older earth near the botanical collections; later the road climbs into Undurraga’s ordered rows of vines where centuries-old cellar walls hold the cool memory of oak barrels.

A low coastal wind pushes salt and eucalyptus across the path as you step into Parque Tricao’s gated reserve: hundreds of birds wheel overhead in an aviary so large flight feels natural again. The air smells of wet grasses from the Giverny wetland and richer, older earth near the botanical collections; later the road climbs into Undurraga’s ordered rows of vines where centuries-old cellar walls hold the cool memory of oak barrels.
Parque Tricao preserves more than 100 hectares of coastal forest, wetlands and a free-flight aviary that houses 52 species. The Giverny-inspired wetland borrows French garden aesthetics but rests on Chilean coastal alluvium—sandy soils overlaying marine terraces carved by past sea level change. Undurraga, founded in 1885, sits in the Maipo Valley’s cooler fringes; its estate gardens and cellars reflect the region’s long viticultural history and encounters with Mapuche culture.
Expect mostly flat, accessible paths at Tricao, with short boardwalks through marshy ground; bring footwear that tolerates damp soil. The winery portion is leisurely—garden walks, an interpretive cellar tour, then a guided tasting of four reserve wines paired with light brunch fare. Guides typically speak English and Portuguese, and transfers make this a straightforward full-day outing from Santiago.
Practical tips: aim for morning light in the aviary for best bird activity, hydrate between tastings, and carry a light layer for coastal breezes. This itinerary suits nature lovers who also want a measured taste of Chilean wine and culture in one day.

Undurraga winery dates to 1885 and played a role in modernizing Chilean winemaking; Tricao is a private conservation reserve protecting coastal habitats and species.
Both sites emphasize conservation: Tricao manages habitat restoration for coastal birds while Undurraga practices vineyard management that balances production with heritage-landscape preservation.
