A Family Adventure in Portillo

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can bring us closer together while exploring the world. When I heard about the Ski Resort Tour in Portillo, Chile, I knew it was something we had to try. The idea of visiting a ski resort surrounded by the stunning Laguna Inca, with its rich history and breathtaking views, was too tempting to resist.

Our journey began with a scenic drive through the Andes Mountains, a sight that left us all in awe. The kids were glued to the windows, pointing out the snow-capped peaks and the winding roads that seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon. It was a perfect start to our adventure, setting the tone for the incredible day ahead.

Discovering the Beauty of Laguna Inca

Upon arriving at the resort, we were greeted by our friendly guide, who immediately made us feel at home. The tour began with a visit to the Chacabuco Monument, a significant site in the history of Chile and Argentina’s independence. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the region’s past, making it an educational experience for the whole family.

Next, we made our way to the highlight of the tour: Laguna Inca. The lagoon’s turquoise waters, surrounded by the majestic Andes, created a postcard-perfect scene that took our breath away. We spent time soaking in the views, snapping photos, and simply enjoying the tranquility of the place. It was a moment of pure family bonding, one that we’ll cherish forever.

A Day to Remember

The tour continued with a visit to the Portillo ski center, the oldest in South America. Our guide shared stories of the resort’s history, its role in the world of skiing, and the dreams and achievements of those who have visited over the years. It was inspiring to learn about the passion and dedication that have kept Portillo a unique and beloved destination.

As the day came to an end, we reflected on the incredible experiences we had shared. The Ski Resort Tour was more than just a day trip; it was a journey through history, nature, and family connection. It reminded us of the joy of exploring new places together and the memories we create along the way.
