OFFER ID 1721537

A slither of land running half the length of South America’s Pacific Coast, Chile is a country of topographical extremes and dazzling hues: the rainbow murals of artsy Valparaíso, the russet reds of the Atacama Desert at dawn, the emerald vines of the Maipo Valley, the icy whites and blues of Patagonia’s jagged peaks and glaciers.

See it all on a series of extraordinary journeys via the capital, Santiago, sat amid Andean peaks at the country’s heart. With experienced A&K guides at the helm, you’ll gain insights into Chile’s colonial and revolutionary history; its culinary and viticultural heritage; and the sublime elemental forces that shape this rugged Andean nation.

Itinerary Details

1 Arrive Santiago, Chile
Encircled by snow-capped peaks, Santiago is known for its colonial charm and historic landmarks, but surprises with vibrant neighborhoods buzzing with cutting-edge restaurants and bars. At the heart of the old town lies the grand Plaza de Armas and the presidential palace of La Moneda, both central to Santiago’s story of conquest, dictatorship and revolution. Here, a walking tour weaves through the capital’s most fascinating highlights, culminating in a cable car ride to the summit of San Cristóbal Hill for views across the city. Then, join a renowned chef and art collector in their private home for an intimate meal, fine wine pairings and firsthand insights into Chilean life.

Meals:

2 Santiago | Valparaíso And Viña Del Mar
Journey to the coastal city of Valparaíso, where colorful houses served by funiculars cascade down hillsides towards the Pacific port; here, your tour includes La Sebastiana, the house museum of poet Pablo Neruda, and the nearby “Garden City” of Viña del Mar.

Meals:

3 Atacama Desert | The Valley Of The Moon
Pitted, ochre valleys evoke the surface of barren moons around San Pedro de Atacama, a high-altitude town of adobe buildings, dirt roads and Colonial-era plazas clustered upon an important oasis. But don’t let this time-warp facade fool you: contemporary comforts await in exquisite hotels and high-end shops showcasing the earthenware crafts of the indigenous Atacameños.

Meals:

4 Atacama Desert | Choose Your Own Adventure
Despite being the driest desert on Earth, the Atacama teems with life, from the flamingoes scattered across Chaxa Lagoon in Los Flamencos National Reserve to the endemic camel-like vicuñas spotted en route to the steaming geysers of El Tatio. Bathe in geothermal waters, cycle or ride a 4x4 across otherworldly salt pans and take telescopes deep into the desert at night for unrivalled visions of the firmament above.

Meals:

5 Atacama Desert | Explore Your Way
Complete your sojourn in this beautiful region, perhaps setting out on a rock art excursion to explore caves and view the mineral-colored hills and cliffs of the Rainbow Valley or visiting the picturesque town of San Pedro de Atacama.

Meals:

6 Maipo Valley | Wine Country
While the Casablanca Valley to the west of Santiago has the ideal conditions for Sauvignon and Chardonnay, the Maipo Valley to the capital’s south is the place for tasting rich, fruit-driven wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, the snow-capped Andes filling the view around you.

Meals:

7 Maipo Valley | Historic Villa
Explore the magnificent Casa Real, the century-old former home of Santa Rita winery founder Don Domingo Fernandez Concha, built in the style of a Roman villa and filled with surprises, including a Gothic chapel and a museum of pre-Colombian art. Dine in this elevated setting, pairing courses with premium estate wines.

Meals:

8 Puerto Natales | Into The Wild
The Chileans have a word reserved to describe the country’s untamed south: indómita. Nobody can truly claim dominion over Patagonia, they claim — not the rugged gaucho cowboys found in and around the main adventure hub of Puerto Natales nor the hikers that flock to nearby Torres del Paine National Park. Sculpted by violent tectonic forces and the ravages of the last ice age, this is a land of soaring granite spires and fairy tale forests of twisted, lichen-daubed trees.

Meals:

9 Puerto Natales | Patagonian Adventure
Heed the call of the wild with horse trails, mountain biking routes and glacier cruises catering to every level of ability — all guided by experienced local guides.

Meals:

10 Puerto Natales | A Parting Glimpse
Set out on another day of Patagonian adventures, choosing from kayaking, hiking, trekking, horseback riding, cultural excursions and more.

Meals:

11 Santiago | A Parting Glimpse
Today finds you back in Santiago, for another opportunity to sample its enthralling culture and equally irresistible food and wine.
