Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point, a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Chile experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect holiday to match.
Focusing on the spectacular landscapes of the vast Atacama Desert, this adventurous ten day trip will allow you to see the highlights of Santiago and Chile's desert region in a relatively short space of time. The trip begins with a few days to catch your breath in a leafy neighbourhood of Santiago, a cosmopolitan city full of fascinating architecture and history, set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. Spend a day exploring the city on foot, and the following day take a trip to the colourful port town of Valparaiso, where you'll learn about the history and former grandeur of this once prosperous town. Next fly up to the small town of San Pedro de Atacama to experience one of the driest desert landscapes in the world, with its sweeping dunes, eerie geological rock formations and active geysers, which spurt columns of steam up to twelve metres into the desert sky.
Here’s a summary of what you might get up to day-to-day on this Chile holiday. As always, this is just an idea. Every single day of your trip will be tailored to suit you
