The majority of the restaurant’s produce is grown on-site and the sleek wine bar champions the very best in Chilean grapes. Spend the day hiking the Moon Valley or soaking in the hot springs of Puritama, followed by a desert-herb facial and volcanic-mud treatment to ease muscles sore from exploring.
