The regions
Chile stretches more than 2,600 miles from north to south, so most journeys combine a few regions linked by domestic flights. We plan the route, the connections and the lodges so you spend your days exploring rather than in airports.
A lively capital framed by the Andes, with museums, markets and wine valleys within an hour’s drive.
A UNESCO-listed port city of painted hillsides, historic funiculars and street art, near the beaches of Viña del Mar.
Salt flats, geysers, flamingo lagoons and the Valley of the Moon around San Pedro de Atacama.
Torres del Paine National Park, with granite spires, glaciers and turquoise lakes at the southern end of the continent.
Rapa Nui, a remote Pacific island famous for its giant stone moai, about five and a half hours by air from Santiago.
Desert stars, granite towers and the edge of the world.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Some of the clearest night skies on Earth, with private astronomy sessions in the Atacama.
Flamingos in the high lagoons, guanacos in Patagonia and penguin colonies in the far south.
Day hikes and multi-day routes in Torres del Paine, with lodges and guides arranged in advance.
The moai of Rapa Nui, the poet Pablo Neruda’s homes and the colonial heart of Santiago.

Timing
Chile’s seasons are the reverse of ours. Patagonia is best from November to March, the Atacama can be visited all year, and the wine valleys celebrate harvest from March to May.
September to November brings wildflowers, green valleys and the start of the Patagonia season.
December to February is peak season in Patagonia, with long days for trekking.
March to May brings harvest season in the wine valleys and golden colors in the south.
June to August brings skiing in the Andes near Santiago and clear desert skies in the north.
Questions
November to March is best for Patagonia and Torres del Paine. The Atacama Desert can be visited all year, and March to May is harvest season in the wine valleys.
Nonstop flights from New York to Santiago take about 10 to 11 hours, often overnight. Santiago is only one or two hours ahead of the East Coast, so jet lag is mild.
Ten to fourteen days allows time for Santiago, the Atacama and Patagonia. Add three or four days for Easter Island.
U.S. citizens can generally visit Chile for up to 90 days without a visa. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
Both are reached by domestic flights from Santiago, to Hanga Roa on Easter Island and to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales for Patagonia. We arrange the flights and transfers to your lodges.
Yes. Many travelers pair Chile with Buenos Aires, Mendoza or Argentine Patagonia. We plan the border crossings and flights between them.
