Classic Chile 13 days
13 days
Wild Chile: Volcanoes, Islands & Patagonia
Chile’s landscapes shift dramatically as you travel south, from the volcanic peaks and lakes of the Lake District to the forests and coastline of Chiloé, before reaching the wild scenery of Patagonia. Start this 13 day experience in Santiago, then head to Puerto Varas, where days can be spent hiking, kayaking, cycling or exploring the region’s food and culture beneath Osorno Volcano. On Chiloé, discover wooden churches, fishing villages and forested shores by boat, kayak and on horseback. Further south, Torres del Paine brings granite peaks, glacial lakes and the chance to track puma. Return north to finish among the vineyards of Casablanca Valley.
