Hiking
Colchagua Valley is home to rolling hills and scenic views that are perfect for day hikes. The valley is surrounded by mountains including the Andes and sprawling vineyards.
Some of the vineyards have an ideal landscape perfect for hiking which is recommended in the morning because of the intensity of the sun.
Here are some of the wineries that offer trekking programs.
