The stunning beauty and diverse scenery of Chile is among the best in Latin America. This very long, narrow country includes the mighty Andes mountain range, complete with volcanoes and glacial capped peaks; incredibly scenic and remote fjords; coastal beaches; dense ancient forests; powerful rivers, and sparkling lakes.

Santiago is a wonderful cosmopolitan city and a great introduction to the culture of the country. Spend an afternoon visiting some of the famous Chilean wineries located nearby, or increase your tour to several days by adding in the beach towns of Vina del Mar or Isla Negra, with accommodations at local haciendas.

For some of the most pristine beauty, head south to the Lake District towns of Pucon and Puerto Montt, or to the very remote National Park of Torres del Paine. Adventure travelers will find world class white water rafting, sea kayaking, mountain biking, horseback riding, trekking, hiking and mountain climbing all with-in easy reach. We have recently revised our trekking programs in Torres del Paine to include new deluxe campsites that offer large domed tents with cots, down comforters and heat, as well as adjacent shower & bathroom facilities. Truly luxury camping in an unforgettable setting!

Sailing options include trips through the fjords to the San Rafael Glacier, or an overland trip into Argentina via the famous "Lake Crossing"--a series of 4 buses and 3 boats ending in Bariloche, or cruising through the Magellan Strait to Tierra del Fuego--viewing impressive wildlife and scenery along the way.

Easter Island is a special treat for history and archaeology buffs--nothing can surpass the isolated and remote feeling as you land on Rapa Nui. Traditional sightseeing, trekking and diving trips are all available.

And to the far north is the fascinating Atacama desert, one of the driest places on earth and home to geysers, salt flats, exquisite landscapes, impressive national parks and archaeological sites.
