Itinerary
Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Santiago.
On arrival you will be transferred to your hotel in Santiago. Afternoon at leisure.
This morning go you will explore the city with your guide. Over recent years Santiago has worked hard to change its image from a smog covered conference centre to a cultural capital city and the effect has been incredible. Once you have finished the tour you can expl...
This morning you will transfer to the airport for your flight to Calama. Here you will be met and taken to your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. Once settled in you will head out on your first Atacama excursion, to explore the stunning Moon and Death Valleys.This excursion ends just after sunset, leaving you time to explore the restaurants of San Pedro town.
Today you will travel out of the town to explore the Altiplanic Lagoons and local salt flats, home to countless flamingos and a surprising amount of other wildlife too.
An early rise will see you head up to approximately 4,000m above sea level where, before dawn, it will be below freezing. From here you will witness the sun rise over the Andes as the Tatio Geysers spurt around you.An early start means you will be back at your hotel at lunch time leaving you free to relax by the pool or visit the wonderful museum in San Pedro.
Transfer back to the airport in Calama for your flights south to Puerto Montt in the Lake District where a driver will be waiting to take you to your hotel in the lakeside town of Puerto Varas. Explore the town this afternoon and perhaps have dinner over looking the lake with views of the mighty Osorno Volcano.
Enjoy a full day excursion the Osorno Volcano and Vincente Perez national park. Or, if you are bit more active, we can arrange for you to go rafting, kayaking or cycling in the region.
Something a little different today will see you visit Senda Romahue. This is a family run ecological centre that show cases local flora and acts as a rescue home for local fauna as well. You will be shown around by a family member and your visit will contribute to maintaining the slice of tranquility.
Transfer back to Puerto Montt for your flight to Punta Arenas (or possibly Puerto Natales if schedules allow) from where you will travel north to the breathtaking mountains that make up Torres del Paine National Park.
Excursions from your lodge in Torres del Paine National Park are all included in your stay. Each evening you will meet with your guides to discuss the option for the following day. This may not be the most economic way to see the park but we believe that it is the best value and ensures that you get the very best out of your time there.
Excursions from your lodge in Torres del Paine National Park.
Travel back to Puerto Natales in time for your flight to Santiago, where you spend the night. As flights often arrive late we do make use of the airport hotel, but this may well depend on the times of your onward journey.
