Overview

An easy-going trip through Chile will take you to some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes on the planet.

Starting in Santiago, you'll be introduced to Chile through a little of its history and sampling of the wine and food. You'll have the option to explore further before you journey down to Lake Llanquihue, a tranquil vista that will show you the verdant greenery near the coast where stilt houses and a more simple life characterise the region.

You'll finish your Chile tour in one of the most impressive national parks in the world in the Patagonia region. From your luxury accommodation, you'll choose from a mix of challenging and relaxing tours with hiking and horseback rides to admire the glacial lakes and snowcapped mountains of Torres del Paine!
