Chile
From the iconic granite spires of Torres del Paine in Patagonia to the otherworldly lunar landscapes of the Atacama desert, Chile will amaze and astound you with its endless options for exploration in jaw-dropping landscapes in some of the most pristine parts of our planet.
Chile is an active adventurer’s paradise, with something for all ability and comfort levels. Hike to geysers or hot springs in the Atacama Desert, ride on horseback across the vineyards of the winelands, or enjoy various dayhikes amidst the stunning glaciers and peaks of Torres del Paine National Park.
For wildlife aficionados, Chile’s unique geography and diverse ecosystems offer distinctive wildlife-viewing opportunities. Spot desert-adapted vicunas (a type of wild camelid) and Andean cats in the Atacama, visit the thousands of Magellanic penguins who breed on Isla Magdalena each year, or head south to Patagonia to track ever-elusive Andean pumas, Chile’s largest land carnivores.
Opportunities for cultural encounters abound. Visit family-run wineries and indulge your taste buds in some of Chile’s finest cuisine in the winelands of central Chile. Explore the colorful streets of the Bohemian city of Valparaiso on the coast or browse the markets and museums of the lively capital city, Santiago. Discover the unique Polynesian culture of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island while pondering the mysteries of the stately maoi statues that punctuate the landscape of this remote island retreat.
The most popular way to experience Chile is to fly into Santiago and catch internal flights to your desired destinations from there. Chile is a large, diverse country with unlimited opportunities to customize a bespoke adventure that meets your every desire.
