Experience Chile’s Most Spectacular Natural Wonders
Begin your 15-day journey through Chile in the cosmopolitan capital of Santiago, where the Andes provide a dramatic backdrop to bustling neighbourhoods, leafy parks and historic landmarks. Beginning with your departure from the UK and concluding with your return via Santiago, this itinerary showcases the remarkable diversity of Chile’s landscapes and experiences.
From the capital, fly north to the extraordinary Atacama Desert and spend three nights exploring salt flats, flamingo-filled lagoons and lunar-like scenery shaped by wind, altitude and volcanic activity. Evenings are marked by fiery sunsets and some of the clearest night skies on Earth, while guided excursions reveal the region’s unique geological formations and remote beauty.
Continue into the Chilean Lake District, a region of snow-capped volcanoes, deep blue lakes and verdant forests. With its mix of outdoor activities, welcoming lakeside towns and spectacular scenery, it provides the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation during your stay.
Your journey concludes in the natural beauty of Torres del Paine National Park, the crown jewel of Patagonia. Spend three nights surrounded by soaring granite peaks, turquoise lakes and vast Patagonian plains, with opportunities to spot condors, guanacos and other native wildlife before returning to Santiago for a final night ahead of your flight back to the UK.
