Things to do in Chile

Boat trip to Glacier Grey

Guests are transferred from their hotel to Lago Grey where you will enjoy a boat excursion to the stunning Glacier Grey.

Base of the Towers guided hike

This is one of the most iconic treks in Patagonia. The granite towers soar majestically thousands of metres into the air creating the centrepiece of the whole park.

Atacama Desert astronomical tour

Join a shared excursion to observe the vast night skies of the Atacama Desert. The altitude of the town as well as the remote location makes this one of the best spots for astronomy, for both amateurs and experts alike.

Laguna Cejar & Salar de Atacama

The day begins by heading south from San Pedro de Atacama to Cejar Lagoon (the floating lagoon). This small lagoon has impressive white edges of crystallised salt and is intensely turquoise in colour, providing a home for flamingoes and tagua birds.

In the footsteps of Alexander Selkirk

Follow in the steps of Alexander Selkirk, the famous Scottish sailor who was stranded here alone for four years and four months in the early 1700s.

Valparaiso & Viña del Mar

Travel out of Santiago toward the coast, past the vineyards and orchards of the Casablanca Valley.

Visit the Marble caves

Located on Lago General Carrera these amazingly vibrant blue and grey, partially submerged, cave chambers have been formed by over 6,000 years of erosion.

French Valley trek

Leaving the Paine Grande Mountain Lodge, follow signs for Camping Italiano. You will reach the campsite after around 1½ hours walking along the base of the Torres Massif, along Lago Pehoe and across small streams and valleys.

Australis multi-day cruise

The Ventus Australis and her sister ship Stella Australis were built specifically for cruising the waters at the very tip of the South American continent.

Maipo Valley wineries excursion

The Maipo Valley lies to the south of Santiago with the nearest wineries just an hour away from the capital. A guide and driver will take you to some of the best in the area where you are able to taste their products and learn about their techniques.

Private stargazing at Elqui Domos

With the absence of light pollution and favourable climate, the Elqui Valley provides fantastic opportunities to view the night-time sky.

Villarrica Volcano climb

Snow capped Villarrica looms majestically over Pucón at 2,840 metres (9,318 feet) above sea level. You will be able to look into the crater of an active volcano perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Pisco culture of the Elqui Valley
