Land in Santiago for a welcome lunch with the Andes in full view, then drive up to Farellones for first light on the mountains.
Your first full day on snow above Santiago — long, quiet runs and a slow après as the peaks turn gold.
Another day on the hill, then a hands-on pisco-sour class as the sun drops behind the cordillera.
Drive to the central valley for a cellar-door lunch and tasting, ending among the surf and cliffs of Punta de Lobos.
The long, beautiful drive south — windows down, the trip playlist on — landing in Las Trancas with a soak in the hot springs on arrival.
Ski an active volcano by day, tree-lined powder at your own pace, steam and stars by night.
Another full day chasing the region’s famous powder, with time to simply be in the mountains.
Drive deeper south to Corralco, tucked in an araucaria reserve on Lonquimay volcano. Afternoon turns on empty slopes.
Wide, uncrowded volcano terrain by day; an open-fire alfresco dinner at the lodge — river view, hot tub, no rush.
One more day on the volcano, then a night out in the snow — music, drinks and the whole group under the stars.
Follow the lakes to Pucón, Villarrica smoking on the horizon. The Huerquehue trek, then the village at dusk.
A day on Villarrica, then the Geométricas hot springs after dark — warm water, cold air, deep quiet.
A last day on snow, then a long open table by the river to close the trip — the crew, the fire, the stories.
A morning surprise to send you off, then transfers to Pucón airport for the flight back to Santiago — until the next one.









































“I’m Pepa. I’m Chilean, I spent years in Australia — and I built Do Local to bring my two homes together.”
I grew up skiing these volcanoes. I know the hidden tracks, the quiet lodges, and the family that lights the fire when we arrive. I host every trip myself — and I’m the one you’ll speak to before you book.
María Jesús ‘Pepa’ Vives — Founder & expedition lead
