THE SPIRIT OF CHILE

Land of extremes.

Discover the world’s longest, narrowest country – a ribbon of land that squeezes an astonishing range of worlds into one.
From the moonscapes and star-filled skies of the Atacama in the north to the wild granite peaks of Patagonia in the south, Chile is a land of dramatic contrasts. Between them lie the sophisticated capital of Santiago, the bohemian port of Valparaíso, and lush valleys of world-class wine.
Wander salt flats dotted with flamingos, hike beneath the towers of Torres del Paine, gaze at the mysterious Moai of Easter Island, and toast to it all with a glass of Chilean red. Few countries offer this much variety in a single journey.

Come, feel it for yourself.

Santiago & Valparaíso

Where Chile begins

Start in Santiago, one of South America's most modern and sophisticated cities, cradled by the snow-capped Andes. Explore its museums, markets, and culinary scene before heading to the coast, where the UNESCO-listed port of Valparaíso tumbles down steep hills in a riot of colour, street art, and bohemian charm — two very different faces of the country, side by side.
