Trips to Chile

Tour Chile on your South America 2025 trip

Stretching like a ribbon for 4,200 km between the Andes and the Pacific, Chile is a land of extremes: driest desert on Earth in the north, fertile wine valleys and vibrant Santiago in the center, and glacier-studded Patagonia at its southern tip. Add vivid street art in Valparaíso, the mystique of Easter Island, and world-class stargazing under pristine skies, and you have one of South America’s most diverse adventures.
