Your itinerary in brief —

DURATION: 9 - 13 night tour

BEST FOR: Once in a lifetime

PACE: Moderate 

 

 

Explore Chile

Uncover Chile’s most iconic highlights on a journey designed to showcase its extraordinary diversity. Begin in Santiago, where modern city life meets the backdrop of the Andes, before heading north to the vast, mineral landscapes of the Atacama Desert. There, the early morning cold at the El Tatio Geysers contrasts sharply with the dry heat of the desert, while the small village of Machuca offers a quieter, more traditional rhythm of life. The journey then shifts dramatically to the far south, in Punta Arenas, where strong winds, open landscapes, and the proximity to Patagonia create a sense of isolation at the edge of the world.

 

For those wishing to go even further, the itinerary can be extended to Rapa Nui, adding a final, remote chapter shaped by ocean, history, and mystery.

Your destination —

Chile

Chile is a captivating and diverse land, stretching 4,300 kilometres (2,670 miles) from north to south. Known for its rugged beauty, this country offers a unique blend of dramatic landscapes, from the parched Atacama Desert to the lush southern valleys. Chile promises an exceptional journey into nature’s untouched heart, where vast natural wonders await.

 

 

Must-sees:

  • The Atacama Desert is home to salt flats and colourful lagoons.
  • The stunning Andes Mountains, are perfect for hiking and exploration.
  • The picturesque lakes of the Altiplano, are surrounded by volcanic peaks.

 

 

Culinary culture:
Chile's culinary culture reflects its diverse geography and rich heritage. Coastal regions boast exquisite seafood, with dishes like ceviche, while the northern regions offer hearty stews. Chile’s renowned wines, particularly from the central valleys, provide a perfect complement to the country’s flavours. Be sure to indulge in local delights such as empanadas and mote con huesillos, a traditional summer drink.

 

 

Dive deeper:

To truly understand Chile, immerse yourself in its rich cultural history. Visit the quaint Mapuche villages in the south to experience the indigenous heritage or explore Santiago’s vibrant arts scene, where contemporary galleries meet traditional crafts. The mystical moai statues on Easter Island are a must-see, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic Rapa Nui culture.

 

 

Good to know:

The local currency is the Chilean Peso (CLP). While December to March is the peak travel season, visiting in Autumn brings stunning foliage in Patagonia, winter offers top skiing in the Andes, and spring unveils blooming landscapes with fewer crowds. Chile has an efficient domestic transport system, with frequent flights between major cities and buses reaching even the most remote areas.
