Overview

Chile from south to north, across three different landscapes. It starts in Santiago, with the historic centre and Santa Lucía Hill, and a day on the Pacific coast among the colourful houses of Valparaíso and the seafront of Viña del Mar.

Then Patagonia: from Puerto Natales, a day in Torres del Paine National Park, among lakes, waterfalls and granite towers, and a boat trip up the fjord to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. Finally you fly north to San Pedro de Atacama, for the high Andean lagoons, the Valley of the Moon at sunset and the El Tatio geysers at dawn.

Private trip with private transfers, private guides and breakfast; flights not included.

Good to know

  • Italian citizens need no visa for short tourist stays in Chile; you need a valid passport.
  • San Pedro de Atacama lies at about 2,400 metres and the El Tatio geysers above 4,000: take it easy in the first days and drink plenty.
  • In Patagonia the wind is strong and the weather changes quickly, even in summer: bring layers and a windproof jacket.
  • The glacier boat is a scheduled trip shared with other passengers.
