Ruta del vino de Curico invites you to discover El Planchon as a new touristic destination for the lovers of the mountain and wine.

On January 22nd, Ruta del Vino Curico Valley organized a hiking trip for wine and food journalists and tourism journalists to the volcanic lagoon “El Planchon” at 2.500 meters high (8200 ft high) over the sea level.

The idea was to discover this new touristic destination and to enjoy of the beautiful valley. In this opportunity after a two hours hike, guests were delighted with the sight, this was stamped on pictures as well as on the memory of the hikers. Guided by Patrick Pellet, a French professional hiker, who knows this place as his own hand.

The goal was to show this new destination that complements the touristic offer of Ruta Del Vino de Curico. And also experience and live the nature and the adventure through multiple related activities- Winery tours, wine tasting gastronomy, sports, culture and well been.

With a picnic and a wine tasting at El Plancho’s lagoon, ended this hiking trip. On our way back we enjoyed a traditional lunch made with products from the region, through Camino la Montana on la Querencia Natural Reserve.
