Essence of Chile

(13 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Santiago & Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Patagonia (Puerto Natales & Torres del Paine)

This in-depth luxury Chile tour combines the Atacama Desert and two destinations in Patagonia.

Begin in Santiago, one of our favorite cities in South America for its breathtaking views of the Andes mountains. While touring with your own private guide, gain an insider's perspective on Santiago highlights such as the Plaza de Armas, Mercado Central, La Chascona (Pablo Neruda's house), the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, beautiful colonial architecture, exclusive shops and historic neighborhoods.

One day, take an excursion to Valparaiso, stopping en route for wine tasting at a top winery in the Casablanca Valley, one of Chile's best regions for Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. Continue to Valparaiso, an unusual city built on hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the labyrinthine streets of the most colorful cerros (hills), visit notable museums, and perhaps take one of the funiculars that connect the upper and lower parts of the city.

Continue to northern Chile and the Atacama Desert, a vast region of remarkable landscapes, including salt flats, sand dunes, hot springs, geysers and volcanoes. Choose from daily excursions and activities such as seeing the Valley of the Moon, exploring different sections of the National Flamingo Reserve, walking on sand dunes, bathing in hot springs, stargazing in the incredibly clear and dark night sky, visiting traditional villages, seeing pre-Columbian fortresses, learning to identify ancient petroglyphs, mountain biking, horseback riding and venturing to the altiplano at dawn to watch the El Tatio geysers erupt.

Next, fly via Santiago to Puerto Natales in Patagonia, and stay in a luxury hotel that overlooks stunning fjords. Enjoy exciting lodge-based activities such as hiking on a private reserve in the Sierra Baguales mountains, visiting a working estancia (ranch), exploring archaeological and paleontological remains, cruising fjords and biking. One evening, Artisans of Leisure will make a reservation for you to enjoy an asado (barbecue) dinner.

Continue deeper into Patagonia to Torres del Paine National Park. One of the most spectacular landscapes in South America, the park is a wonderland of spiky mountains, blue glaciers, sapphire lakes and dense forests. Choose daily excursions according to your interests, such as scenic walks and hikes, wildlife viewing, bird watching, photography safaris, kayaking and boat rides on glacial lakes, visiting a typical estancia (ranch), barbecue lunches, mountain biking and horseback riding. 

Conclude with a flight to Santiago to connect with your onward flight.

All touring is flexible and tailored to your interests, and accommodation is in top rooms at Chile's leading luxury hotels and lodges.
