Portillo
One of the world’s most iconic and well-loved ski resorts, famous for its sunny yellow lodge and location perched above the stunning Inca Lake in the heart of the Andes. The resort is located about 2 hours northeast of Santiago and is run as a multiday, package-based resort with a maximum of 450 guests, so runs are uncrowded and lift lines non-existent. Enjoy the view of Inca Lagon and their history Legend tells that the spirit of the Inca, Illi Yunqui, that haunts the watery tomb in which he buried his soul-mate, the Princess Kora-Illé, who had tragically fallen from a cliff during a royal mountain banquet (a nascu). The Inca Yunqui, whose grief shook the mountain, believed that no earthly grave could compare with this lake. Shrouded in white linen, she was lowered into the blue depths in the presence of the grief-stricken imperial court. From that moment, the waters were tinted with the emerald shade of the beautiful eyes that the heir of the sun could awaken no more.
