CHILE
The pick of the region.
Chile's 10 most-booked tours, with the real story on each one and what it costs to go.
Cajón del Maipo to Embalse del Yeso van trip: Andean towns, Tinoco Tunnel scenery, and a wine-and-cheese picnic by the lake.
“Diego was great in his explanations and skill of driving. Very welcoming and patient with the group. The sights were worth it and a good way to get you interested in the Andes mountains”
Full-day Santiago coast tour: Valparaiso art, Viña del Mar gardens, Casablanca tastings, Reñaca beach, and Route 68 views.
“Alexis and James were great guides, especially Alexis. Learned so much about the geology and ecology, and all our questions were answered! Great food recommendations too and got to enjoy a bottle of wine and some cheese at the very end!”
Small-group Cajón del Maipo day trip from Santiago to Embalse El Yeso, with mountain scenery, a picnic, and wine, plus a lot of roadside charm.
“We were scheduled to go to Cajon de Maipo, however, the guide canceled on us 45 minutes after we were supposed to be picked up in the morning. They have not yet given us a refund for the day trip. Very disappointing.”
Santiago coast day trip with Valparaíso street art and cable cars, Viña del Mar sights, Caleta Portales seafood, and Casablanca wine tasting.
“It was great. Kudos to Esme! She shared her historical knowledge and news from Chile and the surrounding area. Her stories accompanied us during the bus journey and while visiting the sights. It was really great. I Highly recommend this trip!”
Wake before dawn in San Pedro de Atacama to watch El Tatio steam glow at sunrise, then enjoy breakfast and flamingos.
“A slur was a very nice guide, created all the nice atmosphere in the group by explaining manny things and telling the stories. Had a fantastic breakfast with geysers view”
Early trip from Santiago to Farellones Park with a bilingual guide and round-trip transport from Parque Arauco. Great for first-timers.
“Let me start by saying that our tour guide Sebastian and our driver were really good. Nonetheless, the process of getting the snow gear could be significantly improved. It felt like we were cattle rushing to get outfits in min time record. Terrible!”
A 10-hour Santiago day trip to Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, and Casablanca wine country. Murals, funicular views, and a guided tasting for $63.
“It was an amazing day of colour and surprises. Having a local guide made the experience more unique, we got to see the sea lions playing, learned about the history of the region and overall it was a great day. Finishing off at the vineyard with wine tasting was a bonus!”
Small-group Andes day trip from Santiago to Farellones and Valle Nevado, with gondola views, ski-resort time, and hotel pickup.
“Great trip, great guide, it was an amazing experience!”
One day from Santiago to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and Casablanca Valley. Walk the art hills, ride a funicular, taste Chilean wine.
“This was a well-rounded tour and our guide Ignacio was great, he knew a lot about the history of the places we visited, and told us many interesting stories. I would highly recommend 😊”
10-hour small-group tour from Santiago to street-art Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Reñaca Beach, ending at Quinta Vergara.
“Friendly and engaging tour guide. very much enjoyed the walking tour.”
