An excellent additional feature to our Northern edition of Chile or a destination by itself, there is more than plenty to offer. As a first stop, get acquainted with Santiago’s southern hospitality and vibrancy, through the eyes of friendly locals and with our best destination experts.

LAND OF ICE

After a swift stop-over in Santiago we will whisk you southwards to Chile’s classic and mesmerizing lakes and glaciers. Settle down in Puerto Natales, near the edge of South America, soak in the natural and historical pleasures of this quaint fishing town for a day or two, and get ready for your intrepid adventure. We will take you deeper into Chile’s most iconic destination; Torres del Paine where sprawling ice-fields clash into snow-capped mountains. Next to the striking landscapes the icing on the cake is your valiant hotel for your retreat in the nature wonders, a contemporary lodge that blends seamlessly into the natural environment. From here you can get out and experience the great outdoors from kayaking your way past looming icebergs in the open ocean, to trekking deep into the heart of the natural reverse with an expert guide at hand.

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Rapa Nui is a great volcanic cone that was pushed up from the ocean floor to 500 meters above sea level. This tiny triangle of land was the birthplace of a fascinating civilization. Hundreds of moai-giant statues sculpted from rock-play silent witness to this fascinating history. You can interact with the descendants of this culture, who for generations have maintained their ancestor’s habits and have kept their traditions alive. Our expert guide will tailor make your island itinerary, from trekking, biking to explorations in the ocean (snorkelling, fishing using traditional methods and boat trips), enable you to gain an in-depth understand of the culture and geography of Rapa Nui, its ancestral, megalithic figures, the moai and the special idiosyncrasies of its people.
