The best journeys aren't built by adding destinations.
They're built by finding the right balance.
Start Planning Your Chile Journey
Most travelers begin by asking:
""Should we visit Patagonia, the Atacama Desert or Chile's Wine Country?"
Those are important questions.
But they usually aren't the first ones.
The first question is:
We don't design itineraries around destinations.
We design them around travelers.
Because the best Chile journeys aren't defined by how much you see. They're defined by how every region complements the next.
How do you want this journey to feel?
How We Build Every Chile Journey
Every journey is privately designed — shaped around how you want to travel, and what you want to feel along the way.
When travelers tell us what they'll remember about Chile...
They rarely begin with a hotel.
Or a vineyard.
Or a national park.
They remember how naturally everything came together.
The landscapes.
The people they met.
The conversations over long lunches.
The pace.
The feeling that someone had already thought through every detail.
Because when a journey is designed thoughtfully...
You stop thinking about logistics.
You simply experience Chile.
After the Journey
Different trips.
Different Travelers.
The same care behind the scenes.
Planning a journey through Chile usually begins with a conversation.
Once we understand how you prefer to travel — your pace, the landscapes that draw you in, and the experiences that matter most — we begin to shape the journey around you.
From the order of places to the lodges you stay in, every detail is thoughtfully arranged so Chile feels expansive, effortless, and deeply personal.
Begin with a conversation with Clara and Maria — we’ll help you shape the journey in a way that feels right for you.
Hi, we’re Clara and Maria — the Barciela sisters.
We founded Across South America to design journeys that feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to place.
We believe the best trips aren’t about seeing more — but about experiencing places well: the right pace, beautiful lodges, meaningful encounters, and the freedom to simply enjoy the journey.
And creating journeys that stay with you, long after you return home.

"This was a truly seamless experience."
Every detail was double checked, hotels recommended were excellent, each guide was terrific and all transfers happened seamlessly. They handled flight cancellations and provided alternatives and made sure that we had a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Across South America!

"The entire experience felt like dear friends doing me a favor."
Two weeks travelling around Chile and Argentina were filled not only with experiences that I was seeking, but opportunities to be immersed in ways I had not imagined. I feel enriched, leaving a little part of me behind in exchange for returning with wonderful memories and new perspectives.

"I hired this company because they are on the ground in South America."
If we had any trouble we only needed to send a quick WhatsApp message and there was an immediate reply. They really listened to what we wanted — the activities were well planned and the customer support above and beyond. This was the trip of a lifetime!
