You definitely won't run out of things to explore throughout your time on this Valle Nevado tour. Farellones, the other resort town you'll visit, is much older than Valle Nevado. In fact, it's the birthplace of skiing in Chile. Dating back to the 1930s, Farellones has come a long way from when Europeans first brought over their wooden skis to promote the sport; the first ski lift in Chile was built right here on this resort. Although skiing is the main attraction here, Farellones has a storied past that goes beyond just the early 20th-century skiing anecdotes; the site has been frequented by archaeologists seeking ancient Incan treasures and ruins. For a scenic escape to the Andes, put on some snowshoes and check out this Farellones tour that begins in Valle Vevado and ends with lifelong memories. Tour requires a minimum of 2 guests to operate.
