From Pacific to Desert: A Journey Through the Andes
Crossing three countries, this 18 day journey moves from the Pacific coast of Peru into the high Andes before reaching the vast landscapes of northern Chile.

Travel onwards through the Altiplano, passing lagoons, rock formations and cactus forests before arriving in the Atacama Desert. Here, explore flamingo-filled lagoons and volcanic landscapes with your own guide and vehicle. The journey ends in Santiago, with time in colourful ValparaÃso and among the vineyards of the Casablanca Valley.
