View This TourDiscover Chile
Hike through starkly beautiful desert, across dormant volcanoes in the north, and among pristine alpine vistas and glacier-carved fjords in the south. A walking tour of Chile gives hikers the chance to explore some of the most scenic routes across one of the world’s most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes.
Chile’s sweeping coastal beauty plays host to quaint seaside towns and sloping vineyards dotted with wine-making bodegas. Here the local vintage is paired with some of the world’s best seafood, hauled to port daily as it has been for centuries: fresh caught centolla (king crab), machas (razor clams) and erizos (sea urchin).
Walk through towering Chilean palm forests and down majestic Andean foothills that slope to meet the crashing Pacific surf, and observe Humboldt penguins scrambling upon giant boulders. Unwind in the coastal town of Zapallar, fashioned after the French Riviera and recognizable by its stucco and teak bungalows, where you can sprawl out on the broad beaches or swim in the gentle surf at sunset.

Country Highlights
- Learn about Charles Darwin’s voyage as you follow in his footsteps in La Campana National Park.
- Explore the beauty of Chile’s Victorian architecture as you stroll the brightly colored cobbled lanes of Valparaiso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Follow vineyard pathways and wooded trails that fan out from authentic wine-making bodegas in Tuscan-flavored Colchagua.

Wine
Sample the prized vintage at a family-run vineyard and discover how Chile’s biodiversity adds to the unique flair of its varied wines. Wineries appear not in one specific region, but in a series of valleys across the country, differing in elevation, annual temperature and soil composition, all of which play roles in making each Chilean vintage unique.

Valparaiso Reborn
Experience a guided walking tour of Valparaiso’s quaint cobblestone streets, through the brightly painted hodge-podge of houses stacked dramatically on its hillsides. Across the last two decades, the city’s dazzling renaissance has resulted in its rebirth as a cultural hot bed, complete with exceptional new restaurants, museums, and annual street art and music festivals.

Patagonia
Lush forests, emerald lakes, and jagged cliffs rising toward the sky—Torres del Paine National Park lies at the tip of the South American continent—a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The park’s numerous trails range from casual day hikes to advanced mountain treks, criss-crossing nearly a half-million acres of protected land inhabited by herds of guanacos, South Andean deer, and Magellan geese.
