Add an ExtensionIn a land of freewheeling condors and Andean peaks, grand visions are everywhere.
Pampas stretching as far as the eye can see, ancient caves where prehistoric animals left their bones—Patagonia has a timeless, boundless feel unlike anyplace else on earth. With horizons this vast, it’s hard to know where to turn your gaze. Fortunately, your expert guides know just how to direct you. Above tower the imposing stone sentinels of Torres del Paine, while across the way dozens of condors wheel in flight, and a solitary guanaco stands silhouetted on the ridgeline. Whatever your pursuit—sharing a gaucho-style asado with your hosts on a 100,000-hectare working estancia; watching pink clouds of flamingos rise from a lonely lakeshore, or listening to the roar of ice slabs crashing down from the Perito Moreno Glacier—this Patagonia hiking tour delivers unforgettable visions of grandeur.

Begin your adventure by departing from a convenient gateway city in the United States or Canada. Spend your first night aloft..br>
Upon arrival at Santiago’s International Airport, a representative holding a Country Walkers sign meets you as you exit the baggage claim area. Please note that there may be up to a 45-minute wait if there are other guests arriving within the same time frame. A complimentary small-group transfer is provided to your city center hotel approximately 20 minutes away. The remainder of the day is at your leisure (no meals included).
If you are going to be delayed meeting our transfer representative for more than 15 minutes due to delayed or lost luggage, please let our Airport staff or representative know by calling the hotel at + 370 527 70000. Our drivers are generally able to wait for up to 45 minutes from the time your flight lands, after which you would be responsible for your own transfer. You may also contact Allianz Global Assistance, to advise of your delay and they will contact our transfer service.
Country Walkers provides you with City Information that includes recommendations on what to see and do in Santiago during your stay.
Modern Santiago has shrugged off its old-guard coat and transformed into a vibrant metropolis with a burgeoning arts and culture scene. Its famously clean and orderly streets are a pleasure to explore. Begin your day at the Central Plaza de Armas, surrounded by glorious colonial and neoclassical buildings. Then perhaps head over to the artisans’ village, the Centro Artesanal de los Dominicos. Here, you’ll find alpaca shawls, lapis lazuli, black pottery, and more. You might spend the afternoon amid the quirky architecture of the atmospheric Barrio Brasil or stroll the traditional cobbled streets of the well-preserved Barrio Lastarria. Choose from any of the city’s renowned restaurants for dinner, but be sure to sample the local favorite, a pisco sour, or one of Chile’s many delicious wines. If you’d like to catch a tango performance this evening, the Tango Porteño dinner theater is convenient to your hotel.
Included Meals: Breakfast
Morning is the best time to explore the Mercado Central, the beating heart of traditional Santiago. The earlier you arrive, the more locals you’ll see scrambling for the freshest produce, meats, and fish. It’s a pleasure to simply stroll among its stalls and take in the many sensory delights. Later this morning, transfer to the airport for your flight to Punta Arenas, where your Patagonia walking adventure begins!

Take today to stroll to the city center, the Plaza de Mayo, to admire the gleaming white Cabildo, the former house of the viceroyalty; the Casa Rosada, the Presidential Palace; the fantastic classical Metropolitan Cathedral; and the stately City Hall. Your front desk staff will be happy to recommend dining options. Grilled meats such as beef ribs and chorizo and desserts like sweetbreads and cakes filled with dulce de leche are on most menus.
Included Meals: Breakfast
Spend today exploring the scintillating city on your own. Perhaps you’ll begin in the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place of many of Argentina’s top-echelon leaders and, ironically, the woman who challenged them—Eva Perón, the celebrated First Lady known as “Evita.” After paying your respects to this regaled heroine, stroll to the Palermo district to peruse the Museo Evita, where her love of the people shines through in fascinating exhibits. Next, head to the National Fine Arts Museum, a former water pumping station and now home to the largest collection of Argentine art in the world, as well as the inspiring work of European artists. For an equally rewarding outing focused on Latin American artists, visit the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, or MALBA, featuring work by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and contemporary Argentine artists. For dinner, treat yourself at the renowned Café Tortoni, founded in 1858. Its bronze accents, stained-glass ceiling window, gorgeous wood bar, and bow-tied waiters epitomize its long history and tradition of fine food and hospitality.
Included Meals: Breakfast
