    Good excursion to see two thousand-year-old larches, but it must be clarified that it is not the Grandfather.

    Jorge was a great guide who introduced us to the local culture and natural heritage of Valdivia in a very enjoyable way. With his recommendations about the places we were able to make the most of our time and enjoy the craft beer and gastronomy. I recommend him.

A Brief Look into its Past

Founded in 1552, Valdivia is one of the oldest cities in Chile. Over centuries, it became a strategic port, witnessing earthquakes, floods, and even pirate attacks. A strong German influence remains today, dating back to 19th-century immigration, visible in the architecture, cuisine, and traditions throughout the city.
