Chile tours

The sheer size and diversity of Chile’s landscapes means it can be challenging to cover everything you want to see and do in one visit. Our specialists, however, are lucky enough to regularly travel to Chile and have used their expert first-hand knowledge to create some itinerary ideas to assist you when planning your bespoke tour.

Our tour suggestions include both well-known attractions, such as the stunning Lake District and Patagonia regions, and lesser-visited places that our specialists have come to love. We can also incorporate any specific interests you have into your route such as golf, wine tasting or skiing.
