Chile HOLIDAYS

Travelling in Chile or even a honeymoon in Chile will always involve covering large distances.  It has affectionately been tagged ‘the thin country’, the longest and narrowest on the continent, with a length of 3,230 miles and an average width of only 120 miles. It is land of extremes, both in terms of geography and climate. It has a long tradition of democratic government, a strong economy and a solid infrastructure; it is one of the most stable in Latin America.

OUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN Chile

TREKKING

The national park of Torres del Paine, located in the far south of Patagonia, is a trekking paradise. Whether you are after a 5 day trek – known as the W Trek, a full day hike alongside glaciers or shorter, half day walks around azul coloured lakes lined with icebergs, you will find it here.

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

The central part of Chile is a land of volcanoes and lakes.  Linking them all are a network of backroads that will take you through some of the most untouched parts of the country, allowing you to truly discover what the Chileans are all about.

STARGAZING

In the far north of the country lies a small town called San Pedro de Atacama. A town located in the middle of the Atacama Desert with little or no light pollution. Here you will find some of the largest telescopes in the world, allow you to see beyond our borders.

WINE TASTING

Chile is now one of the world’s leading wine producers of both white and red wines.  With no real coastline to have your ‘downtime’ at the end of a holiday, we recommend spending 3 or 4 nights here, sampling the best that Chile has to offer

SIGHTSEEING

Chile is fairly thin on the ground when it comes to colonial towns, though it does have one, Valparaiso. This UNESCO world heritage site is where you will find multi coloured houses and buildings scattered over steep hills linked by a succession of funicular railways.

HORSE RIDING

You can ride almost anywhere in Chile, whether it be through strange moon like landscapes, below soaring volcanos, around alpine like lakes, or a gallop to see some of the Inca worlds southern-most ruins situated in eerie windswept canyons, you’ll find it here

AN OVERVIEW OF Chile

The North has the Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth, scattered with a lunar like landscapes and home to the ancestral indigenous Inca and pre-Inca civilisations. Central Chile is similar to the Mediterranean, containing the nation’s capital Santiago, a city surrounded by fertile wine producing valleys and world-class ski resorts.

Continuing south takes you through Chile’s Lake District, 12 beautiful lakes create a line running north to south surrounded by lush green forests, rapids, waterfalls and active snow capped volcanoes that dominate the landscape.From Puerto Montt Chile’s land has been broken up into a land of glaciers and fjords, with access to the south being solely by boat or plane.

Chilean Patagonia is almost a separate country, and at one time even had its own government. Offering unrivalled views, untouched wide-open spaces, and the spectacular Parc Nacional Torres del Paine, it is one of the world’s last true wilderness retreats.

Deep into the Pacific Ocean lies Easter Island, the worlds largest ‘open air’ museum, and home to over 600 Moai – giant stone statues thought to be over 800 years old. It is one of those places that stir the imagination.
