2 Biking in Puerto Varas Bike tours have since long became a trend. Therefore, we have recently added a couple of excursions that start in Puerto Varas and involve cycling along the Llanquihue Lake to either pay a visit to Playa Venado dairy farm, and continuing onto Río Pescado, or the one to Chester Beer Brewery. Both available in private and regular services. Sundowner Tour Our new additions to the excursions alternatives in Santiago are an excellent way to relax and chill at the end of the day. 2

3 Our sundowner tours take our guests to visit the Nueva Costanera Neighborhood in Vitacura, enjoy a stroll about the area, its galleries, park and sidewalks, a wine sensory wine adventure at Vinolia, and dinner at Cuerovaca. The tour is available with or without dinner. Renewable Energy In 2013, the Chilean government passed Law , or the Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Law. Such law promotes all sources of clean energy, and establishes Chile s commitment to generate 20% of its electricity from renewables by Following this path, in 2016 the largest photovoltaic plant in Latin America opened in Vallenar, amidst Atacama Desert producing 500 GWh of clean energy. Following that plan several have bloomed. One of them, El Pelícano plant near Coquimbo, together with San Juan de Aceituno in Antofagasta will generate power to move the Metro de Santiago (Santiago s underground train system), turning this mean of transportation into the first one in the world operating with 60% of energy that comes from the sun and/or the wind. Along the same line, in the hotel industry, Tierra Atacama has applied a hybrid photovoltaic/ diesel system that supplies a 100% of the energetic demand of their complex during the day. The hotel located in the Atacama desert is not connected to the electric grid, therefore the need to produce their own energy, originally with diesel but gradually turning into solar since This effort has reduced their carbon path as well as it has put them in the aim of the DENA (German Energy Agency), entity that has rewarded them as a highly remarkable project and and example for the industry. 3
