Santa Cruz, Chile means Wine, Wine, and More wine. Santa Cruz is located at the heart of the Colchagua Valley, one of the most traditional wine valleys in Chile. Vineyard surround the town, and the tourism industry has taken off in recent years as the vineyards have turned to international marketing through tourism. This is also one of the destinations of the wine train in Chile, that pumps tourist from Santiago directly to the vineyards. Santa Cruz is located south of the capital Santiago about five hours by bus. It is about 40 mins by car to the Pichilemu, beach resort.

We would like to show you the way to do a budget wine tour of the Colchagua Valley, that you may find far more enjoyable than the prepackaged options.
