Overview

Your journey begins with a private transfer to Sewell, the legendary “City of Stairways”, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Once a thriving copper mining town high in the Andes, Sewell now stands as a remarkable open-air museum that preserves the spirit of Chile’s mining heritage.

On this guided tour, you’ll walk through restored colorful buildings, visit historical facilities, and uncover the fascinating story of how thousands of workers built their lives in one of the most extreme environments in South America.

Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the Sewell Foundation, this unique place allows visitors to relive the origins of Chile’s copper industry while admiring the resilience and ingenuity that shaped its history.

A journey back in time — where culture, history, and mountain landscapes come together to honor Chile’s industrial legacy.

Activity itinerary

Santiago
  • 1h
We’ll begin with a private pick-up from your hotel in Santiago, heading south toward the city of Rancagua — a pleasant drive of about one hour through Chile’s Central Valley. Upon arrival, we’ll check in at the designated office, where the official Sewell tour bus will be waiting to take you up into the Andes Mountains.
Sewell Mining Town
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Located high in the Andes, Sewell is an uninhabited mining town that tells the story of Chile’s copper legacy. Founded in 1905 by the Braden Copper Company, it became the first large-scale mining settlement in Chile and home to generations of workers from all over the country. Known as the “City of Stairs”, Sewell’s colorful wooden buildings and steep alleyways were built on the mountainside at over 2,000 meters above sea level. As you explore its streets, museum, and former social buildings, you’ll learn about the life, challenges, and community spirit that flourished in this remote industrial enclave — now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical and cultural significance. During the visit, you’ll also enjoy a lunch included in the program, giving you time to relax and take in the unique atmosphere of this mountain town.
Rancagua
  • 1h
In the afternoon, the official bus will take you back to Rancagua, where your private driver will be waiting to transfer you comfortably back to your hotel in Santiago — concluding a memorable journey through one of Chile’s most fascinating industrial heritage sites.
