Sharing Our Passion for Chile
We believe that travel is about more than just seeing new places—it’s about connection, discovery, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Welcome to Pasion del Sur
Pasion del Sur was born from a simple, powerful idea: to share the authentic, vibrant soul of Chile with the world. Our founders, a team of seasoned tourism professionals with decades of combined experience, saw a need for experiences that went beyond the standard routes. They wanted to create tours that were as enriching and seamless as they were breathtaking.
Our mission is simple: to offer the most unforgettable day trips from Santiago, led by guides who aren't just experts, but are true storytellers.
Whether you're exploring the colourful hills of Valparaíso, tasting world-class Carménère in the Maipo Valley, or marvelling at the sheer scale of the Andes, we're here to make your Chilean adventure seamless, authentic, and truly special.
