This 1.5-hour experience takes place at CasaPlan—a collaborative workspace for artists living in the city of Valparaíso and the wider Fifth Region of Chile. Located in El Plan (the flat part of the city), CasaPlan features a printmaking workshop, two galleries dedicated to contemporary Chilean art, and a cafe. Hosted by one of CasaPlan's resident mixed-media artists, Marcela Rodriguez, you will enjoy a private tour of the printmaking workshop, witness a lithography demonstration, and engage with creatives over their latest projects. 

Traditionally using limestone slabs, lithography is a printing technique that works on the immiscibility of oil and water. Marcela will also accompany you to the two visual art shows—explaining the concept behind each installation. In the instance that one of the artists exhibited is available in the workshop, Marcela will facilitate a cultural exchange with them. The experience includes coffee/tea and a slice of cake in the cafe and a print to take home.

CasaPlan is a cultural hub in Valparaíso that brings together art, food, education, and hospitality in a beautiful historic space. It was founded by the female artist Javiera Moreira and the architect Antonia Jarpa to serve as a printmaking workshop where established artists nurture emerging creatives through courses and residency programs. Being located on the periphery of Valparaíso's typical tourist trail means the venue retains a community vibe and is primarily visited by artists and local residents. 

Although cafe-goers glimpse the artists at work in the open-concept studio, Marcela's experience is the only means of interaction. As one one the few bilingual creatives, Marcela can facilitate conversations with the resident artists and lead a fascinating dialogue about Chile's modern art scene. Marcela will also escort you to the two art shows which often exhibit work by CasaPlan's resident artists. She will provide insightful commentary on the pieces, to be continued over coffee.

Marcela Rodriguez is a contemporary multi-media artist who grew up living in lighthouses with her lighthouse-keeper father along the rugged Southern Chilean coast. The vast Patagonian landscape and turbulent Pacific Ocean greatly influenced her. While in college, she discovered street theatre and performed with two important Santiago theatre troupes.

In 1992, Marcela moved to Minneapolis in the US and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and an MFA in painting and drawing. In 2001, she moved back to Chile and developed a passion for printmaking, focusing on lithography. Her artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout Chile, Mexico, Cuba, and the USA.

Marcela has completed two art residencies for printmakers, including a month-long one in Veracruz, Mexico, at La Ceiba Grafica in 2018 and with renowned artists from “Taller 99” in Santiago, 2019. She currently lives and works as a visual artist in Concon, Chile, and teaches at CasaPlan in Valparaíso.

Greece

Begin your day in Pyrgos, once the capital of Santorini, where winding alleys and whitewashed chapels unfold into views that stretch across the island. From this village perched on a hill, you’ll head to Megalochori, a lesser-known village carved into an ancient erosion bed. Here, cave dwellings and small artisan workshops offer a glimpse into everyday island life, layered with history and tradition.

The experience deepens with a live performance at Symposion, a cultural space set in a restored winery. Surrounded by mythological stories and the resonance of handmade ancient instruments, you’ll be immersed in a musical encounter that echoes the island’s distant past.

The day concludes back in Pyrgos with a relaxed farm lunch, where a local family prepares beautiful dishes made with ingredients nurtured by volcanic soil. Guided by Kostas, whose deep connection to Santorini infuses every step, this journey invites you to experience the island through its villages, voices, and flavors.

This experience invites you to engage with Santorini beyond the surface. Each stop becomes a moment of connection with land, music, memory, people. Kostas weaves narrative and presence, encouraging you to see through the layers and recognize what holds these places together.

You’ll explore places still lived in, not arranged for display. In Pyrgos and Megalochori, daily life unfolds in gestures and rhythms that haven’t been polished for visitors but remain grounded in habit and history. Conversations happen naturally as Kostas' relationships open doors to real encounters, offering space for exchange over observation.

At Symposion, rare ancient instruments and mythic storytelling come together in an intimate performance you won’t find elsewhere — one that will resonate long after it ends. Later, lunch is another kind of encounter — a meeting with the land and the people who grow, prepare and serve what you taste.

Portugal

Trace the full story arc of the Douro Valley’s wine heritage: how the region came to be one of the most significant wine landscapes in the world. 

After a scenic drive from Porto, you’ll begin at the region’s flagship museum, where interactive exhibits lay out the evolution of winemaking in the valley: from early agricultural practices, through the 1756 demarcation that formalized its boundaries, to the global rise of Port and the region’s current shift toward high-quality still wines.

You’ll then visit a prestigious estate to see firsthand how Douro winemakers are refining technique and identity in today’s climate, balancing tradition with innovation across both fortified and still wine production. Then, you’ll sit down to a private lunch at a family-run winery, where seasonal ingredients are paired with wines produced onsite. Finally, stop at a scenic viewpoint overlooking the valley before driving back to the city.

This experience is built around the Douro’s layered history. It’s a narrative arc, grounded in context. At the Douro Museum, a specialist brings historical depth to each phase of development—from terracing practices and trade logistics to regulation and export. This foundation gives meaning to the landscapes you’ll see and the wines you’ll taste later.

The visit to a top-tier estate will show how Port still defines the valley’s reputation abroad, but how still wines have become a space for creativity, climate adaptation, and terroir expression. 

Lunch at a small-scale winery brings the experience down to a human scale. You’re welcomed by producers whose work is shaped by local terrain, seasonal rhythms, and generational knowledge.

Before heading back to Porto, pause at a local miradouro once described by Portuguese poet Miguel Torga as “an excess of nature”—a final moment to take in the vast beauty of the Douro landscape.

Stand above the terraced vineyards and winding river at this literary and scenic highlight. A sacred viewpoint, praised by Miguel Torga—where nature’s geometry meets poetic reflection. 

São Leonardo de Galafura isn’t just scenic—it’s storied. The Portuguese poet Miguel Torga stood here and described the Douro as “an excess of nature.” 

Contemplate the valley from the São Leonardo de Galafura viewpoint.

Viewpoint Visit 

Midday, you’ll stop at one of the Douro’s most iconic viewpoints — for a slow lunch overlooking the valley. The meal is hosted outdoors or in the dining space, depending on season and weather, with sweeping views across vine-lined hills, river bends, and olive groves. Gather around a shared table for lunch prepared with local ingredients and paired estate wines. There's no rush. You’re in a place that belongs to the rhythm of the valley.

You'll experience the Douro through its food, wine, and engaging conversations.

The ingredients are drawn from the same soil you’ve spent the morning walking. What’s on your plate likely came from the next hill over. And the location matters. 

Savor a private lunch with estate wines and regional dishes at a boutique winery.

Lunch Above the Valley

Your day ends the way it began: with a private ride in the vintage electric Kombi—this time heading back to Porto. Whether you're returning to your hotel or continuing your journey from the city, your hosts ensure a comfortable ride all the way.

This final stretch often unfolds in thoughtful quiet. As the Douro landscape slips by outside the window, it feels more familiar—shaped now by the experiences of the day: the contours of vineyard terraces, the warmth of a shared meal, the rhythm of the river, and the stories of those who call this valley home.

If the morning was about orientation, the ride back is about integration—letting the day settle in as part of your own story. The hosts remain with you until the last stop, keeping the experience personal, consistent, and grounded.

Return by Kombi

Your day begins with private pick-up in Porto, where your hosts greet you in a fully electric vintage VW Kombi—restored with care and retrofitted for quiet, low-impact travel. From the city, you’ll head inland toward the Douro Valley, easing into the landscape as the urban edge gives way to vineyard-covered hills and winding river roads.

The Kombi becomes your moving base for the day—its open windows and unhurried pace invite you to take in the scenery as you cross through villages and viewpoints en route to each stop.

Along the way, your hosts—lifelong locals with deep roots in the region—share stories, context, and orientation to help you settle into the rhythm of the Douro before the day’s main experiences begin.

The Kombi is a deliberate choice for Carlos and Paulo. Quiet, fully electric, and locally restored, it reflects the balance this experience strikes between tradition and care for place. The open layout, slower pace, and flexibility allows for unplanned stops, impromptu photos, or a pause to admire the morning light over terraced hills.

This is where your connection with the hosts begins. Their relationship to the region shapes every stop that follows, and the Kombi ride allows that story to unfold naturally. 

Private pick-up from Porto to the Douro Valley in a 100% electric Kombi.

Pick up from Porto

The first stop is the Douro Museum in Peso da Régua — a cornerstone for understanding the region's identity. Housed in a restored 18th-century warehouse once used for wine storage, the museum offers a visual and tactile history of the valley's evolution as a wine-producing region.

You'll walk through exhibits on early agricultural practices, the creation of terraced vineyards, the 1756 demarcation law that defined what could be called “Douro wine,” and the rise of the Port trade. A local expert brings these pieces into focus. This will be the foundation for everything you’ll see and taste later in the day.

Most Douro wine tours start with tastings. This one starts with insight and context. The museum visit ihelps you see the landscape differently. You learn how geography, politics, and trade shaped which hills were planted, which families prospered, and how the river dictated what moved, when, and where.

This is the contextual spine of the experience, grounding the valley’s beauty in its layers of labor, law, and land. It's also an emotional journey into the region's heritage, shaped by community voices and items used over the centuries. 

From this point forward, every terraced slope, every varietal, every vineyard name means more — because you’ve seen where the story begins.

Start at the Douro Museum for a guided look at the valley’s winemaking, geography, and legacy.

Inside the Douro Museum

Here, you’ll experience a working vineyard that reflects the full range of Douro winemaking today. Still family-run after generations, the estate is known for its balanced approach to tradition and experimentation — producing both classic Ports and increasingly celebrated still wines.

You’ll walk through the vineyards and cellars, guided by someone directly involved in the work. Learn about local grape varieties, aging methods, and the impact of microclimates across the property. The tasting includes a curated lineup that reveals the estate’s depth.

This Quinta is a serious producer that opens its doors to those who care about how wine is made, not just how it tastes. The focus here is on how growing conditions, varietal blends, and cellar decisions shape what ends up in the glass.

You also see the shift happening in real time. While Port built the estate’s name, their still wines speak to where the region is going — more nuanced, more varied, more expressive of place.

With a strong commitment to authenticity and sustainability, they craft each experience to be personal, reflective, and immersive.

In this cultural journey, Carlos and Paulo guide you through museum collections, literary viewpoints, and renowned wine estates with the insight only lifelong locals can provide. From thoughtful conversations with winemakers to contemplative moments overlooking the valley, every detail is shaped by their knowledge and respect for the region’s heritage. 

Argentina

This full-day experience from Mendoza takes you high into the Andes for what can only be described as the ultimate feast with the ultimate view. You'll travel through breathtaking mountain landscapes, stopping first in Potrerillos for local treats—tortitas and facturas (savory and sweet pastries)—served with mate (a caffeinated herbal beverage) or coffee. From there, the journey continues to a stunning viewpoint at the entrance of the Uspallata Valley near the Chilean border.

Next, you'll ascend to a high-altitude estancia at 2,000 meters, where a traditional Asado a la Llama awaits. This open-fire meal is paired with wines from the estancia and El Enemigo—a remarkable match. Weather permitting, you’ll dine outdoors with sweeping views; if not, the fire indoors sets a warm tone. You'll eat, toast, share stories, and soak up the quiet magic of this extraordinary place. After coffee and dessert, you'll begin the slow descent back to Mendoza—with a full belly and a full heart.

This is a special soulful day in the mountains, curated for food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and curious wanderers alike. You’ll drink, eat, laugh, and learn in equal measure while bonding with your charismatic host, Julieta, who will explain the cultural significance of the cuisine. 

Slow-cooked over an open flame and rooted in Indigenous traditions, asado a la llama is as much a social ritual as it is a meal. The hours spent around the fire, tending the meat, are filled with stories, shared over mate and wine. As you watch the fire dance, toast local wines, and connect with the people who call this remarkable place home, your senses will come alive. The tempo of this rural culinary experience is relaxed, intimate, and real. The meal honors time, place, and shared tradition.

As the icing on the cake, Julieta is also a professional photographer. She’ll help you capture high-quality images of the landscapes—souvenirs that, along with the memories, will last long after the day ends.

Trace the evolving skyline of contemporary Milan through the lens of Emanuele, a professional photographer. This experience leads you through Porta Nuova, a district that has redefined the city’s skyline with its futuristic towers and bold urban design. Starting in the afternoon, you’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Unicredit Tower—the tallest skyscraper in Italy—and the award-winning Bosco Verticale, where vertical gardens transform residential buildings into living ecosystems.

As you move through the area, your guide will share tips on composition, perspective, and light, helping you capture the contrast between glass, steel, and greenery. Piazza Gae Aulenti becomes the stage for the final part of the experience, just as the lights come on and the atmosphere shifts. The fountain’s reflections, the interplay of shadows and neon, and the golden hour create the perfect setting to explore the visual rhythm of Porta Nuova’s architecture with a trained photographic eye.

It’s in Porta Nuova that Milan’s transformation comes into focus—mirrored surfaces, sharp verticals, and unexpected voids that shift with the light and the time of day. This district tells a story of transformation, best understood not through facts, but through observation.

Emanuele shares a way of seeing shaped by over a decade of photographic work and by years spent reading urban spaces through his lens.  With him, architectural photography becomes less about documentation and more about atmosphere, rhythm, and intent.

You’ll slow down, frame what you might have overlooked, and notice how reflections bend perspective or how a single passerby can alter a composition. What sets this experience apart is the encounter between a cityscape still evolving and a visual approach rooted in curiosity, detail, and storytelling—ending, like any true Milanese evening, with an aperitivo.

Photo Walk in Milan’s Porta Nuova, exploring modern architecture, reflections and urban geometry.

The Edges of New Milan

Expert guidance through the walk, photographic tips, a Milanese aperitif. During the experience, you’ll be photographed and receive high-resolution images.

Comfortable shoes, your camera, an extra battery and memory card.

You’ll meet Emanuele in Piazza Gae Aulenti, in front of the Feltrinelli bookshop.

Emanuele Dello Strologo lives between Genoa and Milan and has been photographing with passion for over 12 years. His journey began as a self-taught photographer and quickly evolved into professional collaborations, first with Corbis and then with Getty Images. Through these experiences, he shaped the visual language that defines his work today. Emanuele focuses on reportage, portraiture, street and black-and-white photography—genres that continue to inspire him deeply. He often carries his camera with him, always on the lookout for meaningful moments in everyday life. His images reflect a keen eye for detail and a quiet curiosity about the world around him.

Athens is a place where ancient history and everyday life meet at every corner. From marble ruins to modern murals, the city is layered with memory, myth, and movement. This three-day itinerary invites you to experience Athens not as a checklist of monuments, but as a living conversation between past and present. Through guided encounters, sensory discoveries, and sacred pauses, each day opens a different door to the city’s many lives.

DAY 1 – HISTORY IN GRAFFITI AND STONE | Begin in Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, where the streets pulse with creativity and protest. The Urban Canvas of Athens takes you through layers of mural, message, and meaning, ending with a hands-on workshop and a piece of your own to carry home. Then head to the National Museum of Contemporary Art to explore bold works that question the narratives of history. End the day at the Acropolis, but from a different angle: walking the lesser-seen paths of the hill that shaped the Western world. As the sun sets, dine at Point A with the Parthenon glowing above.

DAY 2 – MEALS, HILLS, AND MOONLIGHT | Start your morning at the Varvakeios Market for a cooking class with a Greek local, learning to craft gyros and taste your way through spices, olives, and cheese. After lunch, wander through the hidden village of Anafiotika and climb Filopappou Hill for sweeping views of the city. Let the evening unfold with Under the Athenian Sky, an open-air cinema experience filled with conversation, food, and the quiet glow of Athens by night.

DAY 3 – RITUALS AND REVERENCE | Your final day brings you into rhythm with something older. In Ilioupoli, Cultivating Gratitude offers a guided ritual rooted in Demeter’s myth, the harvest, and the practice of reflection. Later, pause in the shade of the National Garden and witness the changing of the guards at Syntagma Square. End in Piraeus with Rebetiko, Red Lights, and the echo of old sailor songs. Between bites and melodies, you’ll feel the weight of memory, celebration, and time.

This journey is not about rushing ruins. It’s a curated immersion, shaped by texture, taste, silence, and spark. You’ll leave Athens not just with photos, but with a piece of the city imprinted on your pace, your palate, and your way of seeing. Three days in Athens. One city. Countless echoes.

WHERE TO STAY IN ATHENS | When it comes to where to stay, Athens offers neighborhoods for every travel style. Plaka is charming and close to ancient sites, while Psyrri and Exarchia are full of life, street art, and cafés. For a quieter stay with Acropolis views, Koukaki is a great base. And if you’re looking for sea breeze and space, consider Piraeus for a local feel near the coast. Choose what fits your rhythm.

A Passage Through Morocco

A Morocco 2 week itinerary from Fes to Marrakesh with culture, coast, and Atlas Mountains.

In Kyoto, time slows down but never stands still. Over three days, this journey weaves together the city’s delicate layers — paper, stone, scent, and taste — to reveal a Japan of quiet mastery and daily grace. From handmade washi to temple gardens, from incense rituals to standing bars, you’ll see how centuries of craft and contemplation still shape life today. Each day balances guided encounters with moments to wander, leaving space for reflection and discovery in your own rhythm.

DAY 1 – PAPER AND PEOPLE | Begin in the calm of the Kyoto Botanical Gardens for Washi, The Texture of Kyoto, a guided tour led by craft researcher Emilie Even. You’ll trace the journey of handmade paper from plant to page, meeting artisans whose quiet skills hold a thousand years of continuity. In the evening, shift from tradition to conviviality with The Social World of Tachinomi, a bar-hopping experience that opens Kyoto’s after-dark culture. Guided by Eric Luong, you’ll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with locals, tasting small plates and sake in the city’s most authentic tachinomi bars — a reminder that craftsmanship lives as much in the art of conversation as in the handmade.

DAY 2 – STONE AND TEA | Head west to Arashiyama for The Kyoto of Small Things, a meditative cultural walk with Edgin Ticzon. Amid moss temples, folk sculptures, and family craft shops, you’ll feel Kyoto’s humility and humor, where beauty is found in imperfection and the stories of everyday life. In the late afternoon, join Eric Luong again for Zen & the Art of Tea in Kyoto, an encounter that begins at the Jotenkaku Museum and continues to a machiya townhouse for a private tea ceremony. Through art, ritual, and conversation, you’ll glimpse the profound simplicity at the heart of Zen.

Begin with Dashi: Japan’s Hidden Elixir led by Chef Toshihiko Yamamoto, a cooking experience revealing the delicate broth that anchors Japanese cuisine. In his intimate kitchen, you’ll prepare and taste your own dashi, discovering how one essence can hold centuries of culinary philosophy. In the afternoon, continue with The Kyoto Way of Kōdō & Chadō guided by Ayumi Ikushima — a dialogue between scent and tea, where incense, aroma, and taste merge into a single art form. It’s a graceful conclusion to Kyoto: a city that speaks softly through its senses.

WHERE TO STAY IN KYOTO | Stay in Higashiyama if you want to walk between temples and teahouses, wrapped in Kyoto’s historical calm. Choose Downtown or Kawaramachi for easy dining and transport connections after evening tours. For slower mornings and garden views, Arashiyama offers serenity at the city’s edge — a place where the rhythm of Kyoto still feels timeless.

Taste and Tradition in Kyoto

3 days in Kyoto exploring crafts, rituals, and cuisine rooted in centuries of flavor and tradition.

This 3-day Santorini itinerary invites you to experience the island slowly, through light, taste and texture. From quiet swims along the Aegean coast to hands-on Greek cooking, artisan visits, winery tours and a sunset boat trip, each day is crafted for travelers who value intention over itinerary. You’ll move between volcanic landscapes and village kitchens, caldera views and underground wine cellars, with time to pause, savor and connect. It’s a journey rooted in the senses — perfect for those drawn to authenticity, beauty and the quiet charm of the Cyclades.

DAY 1 – MONOLITHOS TO MEGALOCHORI | The first morning begins on the island’s eastern coast, where Monolithos Beach offers a quiet start beside calm waters and soft black sand. It’s a gentle stretch of coast, ideal for slowing down after arrival. By late morning, you’ll head inland to the village of Megalochori for a guided cooking class held in a cave kitchen. The afternoon unfolds in rhythm with local flavors, stories, and shared plates, all crafted by hand. As the sun fades, the caldera becomes the backdrop to a peaceful evening along the island’s edge.

DAY 2 – VLYCHADA TO THE CALDERA | Morning light casts long shadows over the sculpted cliffs of Vlychada Beach, a place known for its otherworldly rock formations and stillness. After time by the water, the late morning brings a quiet brunch with sea views before the guided experience begins. The rest of the day is a curated passage through Santorini’s villages and outlooks, led by a local expert who knows how to read the island’s moods. It all culminates on the water, with a private sunset cruise along the caldera where cliffs glow gold and the sea softens to silence.

DAY 3 – EXO GONIA TO MESARIA | The final day begins in Exo Gonia with a creative experience that blends art and landscape. You’ll visit local studios and a volcanic winery, meeting artists and winemakers whose work is rooted in the geology and stories of the island. A hands-on creative session invites you to slow down and make something of your own before the journey continues. In the late afternoon, a visit to the Santorini Wine Museum leads you underground into the history of vine-growing on this volcanic land. A quiet close to a day shaped by color and craft.

WHERE TO STAY IN SANTORINI | Fira is a convenient and dynamic base, with easy access to transport, guided experiences, and caldera views. For travelers seeking a quieter rhythm, Imerovigli offers serenity just above the sea, while Pyrgos and Exo Gonia provide a slower village atmosphere closer to the creative heart of the itinerary. Choose your stay based on how much you’d like to move — and how much you’d like to stay still.

Santorini in Quiet Rhythm

3 days in Santorini with Aegean coast swims, Greek cooking, winery visits and a sunset boat tour.

A rhythm of sand, salt, and sky unfolds across three elemental days in the Atacama Desert. This journey takes you from grounded, hands-on moments to vast desert panoramas — from the intimacy of a ceramics workshop to the stillness of floating lagoons and the dazzling clarity of the high-altitude night. Designed for travelers drawn to light, texture, and time, it pairs immersive photography with meditative moments of pause. You’ll begin slowly, then ascend into the surreal landscapes of the altiplano before closing among geysers, wetlands, and warm springs.
DAY 1 – CLAY, FLOATING, AND STARS | The journey begins gently in the Salt Mountain Range, where you’ll be welcomed into the adobe studio of a local ceramic artist. Using a clay unique to the region, shaped by ancestral Licarantai traditions, you’ll create your own piece while learning how reverence for Pachamama lives on through craft. In the afternoon, take time on your own to visit nearby Laguna Cejar — a salt-rich lagoon where the water suspends you weightlessly in its mineral grip.
DAY 2 – FLAMINGOS AND THE ALTIPLANO | Wake early to head deep into the Chilean altiplano. This is a day of altitude and scale, where pastel lagoons stretch beneath volcanoes and flamingos lift off from mirror-still water. As you travel across remote salt flats and highland valleys, your guide helps shape the light into story through photography. There’s time to pause, to breathe thinner air, to notice shadow and color shift by the hour. After returning to town, the evening invites rest and reflection after a day spent far above sea level.
DAY 3 – GEYSERS AND WATERS | Before sunrise, set out north toward El Tatio, where steam rises from the earth in silence. As the first light filters across the geysers, capture the raw power of fire meeting water at 4,000 meters. Descend slowly through villages and wetlands, where llamas and flamingos move between grasses and mineral pools. The day ends in thermal springs tucked inside a desert canyon. Let your body ease back into warmth as your time in the Atacama comes to a close.
WHERE TO STAY IN SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA | Most travelers base themselves in San Pedro, a walkable adobe town that serves as the region’s gateway. For easy access to experiences, stay near the center where pickups and drop-offs are seamless. If you prefer quiet evenings, choose a boutique lodge just outside the plaza. Accommodations range from rustic guesthouses to high-end eco-hotels, many designed with local materials and open-air courtyards perfect for desert stargazing.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ARRIVE | The desert rewards those who arrive slowly. Because much of this journey takes place at altitude, we recommend arriving in San Pedro at least one or two days before your first experience. This extra time helps you adjust to the dry air, shifting light, and elevation changes that define the Atacama. It also offers space to settle into the desert’s rhythm — walk the quiet streets, explore the artisan market, and watch the color drain from the sky in the evenings. Let the landscape meet you gradually.
