This immersive journey through Chile begins in its lively capital, Santiago, where colonial heritage blends with modern charm. A city tour introduces key landmarks before heading to the Maipo Valley to sample Chilean wines. From there, we travel south to Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres del Paine. The days that follow are filled with breathtaking scenery—glacial lakes, soaring peaks, and windswept valleys—as we explore this iconic national park by foot and boat, including a cruise to the face of Grey Glacier. Afterward, we fly north to the Lake District, home to snow-draped volcanoes and lush forests. A day trip to Lago Todos los Santos and the volcanic landscapes near Osorno offers a contrasting view of Chile’s fertile, temperate heartland. Continuing north, we fly into the Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, where surreal landscapes await. We witness the sunset over the Valley of the Moon, explore high-altitude lagoons in the Andes, and visit salt flats teeming with flamingos. The tour concludes with a sunrise visit to the El Tatio geysers and a return to Santiago for a final night. Along the way, there's time to savour local life, observe wildlife, and appreciate Chile’s remarkable diversity of landscapes and cultures.
