  • Morning arrival in Santiago where you will be met and taken to your hotel.

  • Today, you will fly south to Puerto Montt, where you will pick your car up and drive to your hotel on the shores of Lake Llanquihue.

  • Have the day to explore. You could visit Villarrica National Park or, if you are feeling adventurous, climb the volcano.

  • This morning, you will begin your journey to Argentina. Once border formalities are complete, you will drive for around one hour to San Martin de los Andes.

  • Enjoy a day exploring San Martin de los Andes. Your time today can be devoted to leisurely spending time on the shores of Lago Lácar, or if you're feeling more energetic, an intrepid hike in Parque Nacional Lanín can be undertaken.

  • Travel south today along the famous route of the Seven Lakes to Villa La Angostura.

  • Explore the area in your own time. An example activity could be driving around Nahuel Huapi Lake to Bariloche for lunch.

  • Explore the area around Bariloche. If you haven't already, you can complete the 'small circuit' drive which takes in many of the area's highlights.

  • Drive back over the border today to Puerto Varas via the Puyehue National Park.

  • Visit Frutillar, drive down to Chiloé or head to Petrohué Falls.

  • Make your way to the airport and drop off your hire car before flying to Santiago for the final night of your trip.
