Chile holidays 2020 & 2021
Travel in times of uncertainty
With practical guidance, our flexibility promise and inspirational tools for travel planning, you can book with confidence with Audley.
The Atacama — the highest, driest desert on Earth. The uninhabitable icefields of Tierra del Fuego. The inscrutable moai of Easter Island. On a tailor-made holiday to Chile with Audley, you’ll see the scenic highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Chile specialists know the country inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook.
Debate the merits of local cabernet sauvignons over carmeneres, Chile’s foremost red wines, at a chic vineyard retreat in Chile’s central winelands. Lose yourself in the higgledy-piggledy streets of Valparaíso and admire their artistic murals. Explore the island community of Chiloé with its troll-infused mythology. Strap on your spikes to hike a Patagonian glacier, or nose your kayak into vaulting caves of marble.
Stargazing in Elqui Valley. Horseback riding with gauchos on pampas trails. The granite spires of Torres del Paine, and the toothy peaks of the Argentine Lake District. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.
