About Larus & Our Team
We create boutique, tailor-made journeys in Chile, led by experienced guides and crafted with care at every stage.
Agency
Larus
Larus is a Latin word meaning "seagull." We believe this is no coincidence. The seagull symbolizes freedom, movement, and an innate sense of direction. It is always moving forward and is always aware of its surroundings. This reflects our approach to travel. Larus is a creative project and boutique tour operator founded by two experienced guides. We design private tours in Chile and collaborate with local guides who are passionate about their country to create tailor-made journeys. Our guests are curious travelers who value a personalized approach and thoughtful care at every stage, from the initial consultation to returning home with lasting memories.

Wine Tour in Maipo Valley
Great tour of the wineries! Leo was our lovely guide who was very happy to translate at any of the wineries that didn't speak English and gave us lots of interesting information. The wineries were beautiful. Car was big and comfortable. Planning was thorough and they even made a quick reschedule for us the day before after we messed up our dates! So grateful. Highly recommend!

Santiago Full Day Tour & Valparaiso, Viña & Concón
There were six of us, and everyone came away with their own WOW moments. Panoramic views of Santiago from different, history-filled viewpoints helped us truly absorb the vibe and power of this vibrant, energy-filled city surrounded by the mighty Andes. And today’s mind-blowing meeting with Angela Mochi at the Attilio & Mochi winery was something truly special.

3-Day Excursion Program from Santiago
We had an interesting city tour in Santiago on Day 1 with our guide Elena, stopping at the main points of interest. On Day 2, we visited Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Reñaca, and the ConCón dunes. We then finished Day 3 in the Maipo Valley wine region and were pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable our guide was about wine.

3 Days in Torres del Paine
Thank you to Anna for organizing our two wonderful days in Torres del Paine National Park. We had a kids-friendly hiking day with children aged 7-10 along the Lago Sarmiento - Laguna Amarga route, and a scenic day with a boat trip to Grey Glacier. On the second day, our guide was Juan — an amazing and very charismatic guide. Highly recommended!
