AN OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS DREAM
Acclimatize in its cosmopolitan capital city Santiago – with its palm-tree lined streets, the leafy Plaza de Armas square - home to historic buildings including a neoclassical cathedral and a fascinating National History Museum. Just south of Santiago is Chile’s premier wine region – Colchagua Valley, which is home to a number of beautiful vineyards backed by rolling countryside – a perfect setting to enjoy an exceptional drop of Chilean wine.
Valparaiso has a distinctly bohemian feel and is the preferred home to a number of artists, writers and musicians. The narrow, steep streets are filled with brightly coloured houses and are best explored by foot or one of the many funiculars which offer excellent views overlooking the port.
The Atacama Desert is considered to be the driest desert on earth. Marvel at the contrasting landscapes, from white salt flats to turquoise lagoons and striking volcanoes to spewing geysers. The unique rock formations in striking Moon Valley is best explored from the popular town of San Pedro de Atacama.
Heading south, Chile’s Lake District offers picture-perfect scenery, with a number of stunning lakes, sparkling rivers and dramatic volcanoes. The nearby town of Puerto Varas sits on the edge of picturesque Lake Llanquihue, and is a great base to enjoy a number of outdoor activities including kayaking, hiking and birdwatching.
Head to deepest Patagonia and specifically the Torres Del Paine National Park - Chile’s most popular national park – where towering granite peaks loom over impossibly blue lakes and waterfalls. Home to fascinating wildlife such as condors, guanacos and pumas - this land can be explored through a number of fantastic hiking trails, with breathtaking scenery guaranteed at every corner.

Take a 5-hour flight from mainland Chile to Easter Island – one of the most remote places in the world. Covered in volcanic carvings known as Moai, these human-like stone figures are dotted across the island and their origin is still largely unknown. The scenery here is stunning with a rugged coastline, striking volcanoes and brilliantly blue waters of the Pacific Ocean – a trip here is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
