Discover Chile’s highlights on this 10-day Chile vacation, taking you from the vibrant capital, Santiago, to the captivating Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and the serene San Pedro de Atacama.

Enjoy Santiago’s exciting array of dining experiences, museums, parks, and historic neighbourhoods before venturing south of the city to the scenic Pérez Cruz Vineyard, nestled at the foothills of the Andes. Embark on an informative journey across the vineyard’s 550 hectares of grapevines and enjoy a delicious tasting of the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Cot, Carménère, Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot.

Venture off Chile’s Pacific coast to Rapa Nui, one of the world’s most intriguing yet secluded destinations. Uncover the island’s rich history and vibrant Rapa Nui culture from dawn to dusk. Witness the extraordinary sunrise over the 15 moai of the ceremonial Ahu Tongariki complex in Hanga Nui Bay and enjoy a delicious breakfast on location as you unravel the site’s cultural significance. Continue your adventure with a trek to the peak of the Ma’unga Terevaka Volcano, hiking through a lush eucalyptus forest to unparalleled island and ocean views. Marvel at the volcanic cones, basins, and crater lakes as you descend the volcano to Ahu Akivi, where you’ll find the island’s only moai looking outward toward the Pacific. Conclude your unforgettable trip to Rapa Nui with a serene sunset experience at the Ahu Tahai before flying back to Santiago en route to San Pedro de Atacama.

Settle into your charming and luxurious accommodation in San Pedro de Atacama before travelling to the small town of Toconao. Marvel at the town’s 18th-century San Lucas Church and Bell Tower before searching for beautiful handmade crafts, including alpaca fabrics and volcanic stone objects. Continue to the Atacama Salt Flat and marvel at flamingos scattered across the Andes’ reflection across Chile’s largest salt flat. Return to San Pedro after your sunset cocktail at the Atacama Salt Flat and prepare for your journey to El Tatio Geysers at the world’s highest geothermal field.
