The Highlights of Chile

The Highlights of Chile 

 
12 Nights / 13 Days

Beautiful Chile is a destination of prized contrasts with dramatic landscapes that vary from the starkness of the Atacama Desert, the world’s driest, in the north and the Patagonian ice fields in the south to fertile valleys, forests as old as time, temperamental volcanoes and unspoiled beaches. These regions are set along with the incredible geography of Chile, which is a wonder in itself. 

The country has been hailed as the world’s longest, whilst its width of just 175 kilometers, defies logic in its slenderness. Stretching from the centre of South America right to its base, Chile is home to a vibrant melting pot of cultures.

Trip Highlights: 

  • The Atacama Desert, in the north of Chile, the driest, most desolate and arid in the world.
  • San Pedro, the archaeological capital of Chile, continues to be a silent witness of the passage of time
  • Volcanoes, salt flats, and lagoons, bodies of water that emerge in the middle of the desert, thermal pools, geysers and marshes
  • Patagonia and Lake District 

Day 1 – 4: The south of Patagonia is home to Chile’s iconic Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, renowned for its rugged horn-shaped peaks of the Cuernos del Paine and pristine sand-colored lowlands where the Huaso countrymen, or Baqueano, practice age-old cattle herding traditions. In the north, enormous ice fields flank brilliant blue glaciers whilst fjords and deep channels usher penguins to their waters. Not only does this breathtaking region feature a rich entanglement of rainforest and mountain ranges that stretch across the horizon, but it is also the official gateway to Antarctica, the earth’s southernmost continent. Strap on your boots for various scenic hikes in the Atacama Desert. Discover the Moon Valley, walk along a river through a beautiful canyon, and venture to the hot springs of Puritama to relax weary muscles. Explore the Los Flamencos National Reserve, home to flamboyant flamingos. Gaze up to the skies and spend an evening stargazing with an astronomer. Visit the famous El Taito Geysers, bypassing the Alto Plano lakes which provides an excellent birdwatching opportunity. Hop onto the saddle for a bicycle excursion in the desert.

 

 

Day 4 – 6: Your first evening will be at leisure, allowing you to explore the barrio (neighborhood). Enjoy a full-day, themed exploration of vibrant Santiago. Choose from a culinary, art, sculpture or architecture tour. This fascinating tour is an exploration of Santiago’s thriving barrios.

Day 6 – 10: Discover Patagonia’s renowned French Valley on an awe-inspiring hiking adventure that unveils the region’s iconic landscapes or, for the more adventurous, trek to the base of the towers in Torres del Paine National Park. Ride through Patagonia on an extraordinary horseback adventure. Set out on a guided walk in search of the elusive puma. Embark on an excursion to the Grey Glacier, a massive natural ice construction.

 

Day 10 – 13: Be spoilt for choice with myriad adventures hosted by knowledgeable and engaging guides at Vira Vira, including horseback riding, trekking, fly fishing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, skiing, and scenic helicopter flights. The list is seemingly endless with fly fishing, mountain biking, and a variety of water sports. All excursions are specifically tailored according to your interests and fitness levels. Dine on sublime cuisine with the ‘farm-to-table’ concept of producing everything required for the award-winning restaurant at Vira Vira. Gain insight into the fascinating local Mapuche people. Gaze up at the magnificent blanket of stars whilst relaxing in one of the two lodge hot tubs, enjoy wellness retreats, therapies, and massages in the spa, and balance your chakras with daily yoga classes. Curl up with a good book in the library, and for a spot of retail therapy, peruse beautiful items in the shop.
