Chilean culinary anthropology in the Andes
This is one of the most exclusive and unique experiences in Escapada Tours Chile's portfolio. Chef Sebastián Aracena Ukrow is a Chilean chef passionate about the relationship between culture, territory, and food. In his concept of “culinary anthropology,” each dish tells a story: that of the people who cultivated that seed, the land that nourished it, and the tradition that transformed it into a recipe.
The menu is crafted exclusively with local, endemic, and seasonal Chilean ingredients. The chef personally selects products from local producers, valuing Chilean biodiversity: native herbs, quinoa, ancestral seeds, Pacific coast seafood, Cordillera mushrooms, and much more. Each meal is an exploration of Chile's authentic flavors, prepared live, with explanations about the origin of each ingredient.
The experience can take place in two distinct settings, based on availability and preference: in the Andes Mountains, in a pure nature environment with views of the snow-capped peaks, or at one of the region's partner wineries. In both cases, the setting is specially prepared to create an intimate and memorable atmosphere.
The gastronomic experience is fully customizable: the menu can be adapted for dietary restrictions, preferences, and number of participants. With groups of maximum 8 people, Escapada Tours Chile — with over 26 years of tourism experience and operating in Chile since 2015 — ensures an unforgettable reception.
This experience is ideal for couples, groups of friends, special celebrations, and those who want to discover Chile through taste — a unique gastronomic immersion that goes far beyond an ordinary dinner.

In the Andes or at a partner winery
“Our private group of 6 felt like we were inside a film — the kind where you dine up in the mountains with a spectacular Chilean chef who turned a simple cabin into a gorgeous setting and served us dishes bursting with flavor, aroma and detail. … Imagine a couple who unite tourism and cuisine!”
Translated from Portuguese
“If you want a truly different kind of service, this is the place. If you just want a guide and a transfer, look elsewhere. … Sebastian was a lovely surprise too, taking us comfortably and safely to Cajón del Maipo and then treating us to a feast designed especially for our outing (I have some dietary restrictions)… All of it framed by spectacular mountains.”
Translated from Portuguese
“Escapada Tours is the perfect marriage of Tourism and Gastronomy, of Brazil and Chile, Karina and Sebastian! They don't do mass tourism. … It's a rewarding experience in little-explored corners of Chile, with a very Brazilian eye… Add to that the wonderful food prepared by Chef Seba… I recommend any tour with them — it will be unique, specialized, exclusive, personalized.”
