A Journey Designed Around Chile's Most Extraordinary Contrasts
Start Planning Your Journey
From the Atacama Desert
to Chile Wine Country
SUGGESTED: 12 DAYS, 11 NIGHTS
This is for you if...
You want to experience Chile without feeling like you're constantly moving.
This journey has been designed for travelers who enjoy spectacular landscapes, good food, boutique hotels and enough time to truly experience each destination.
Rather than trying to visit every famous destination, we combine four places that show completely different sides of Chile.
You begin in Santiago, continue north into the silence of the Atacama Desert, fly south to the dramatic landscapes of Torres del Paine and finish among the vineyards of Vik, where long lunches and slower days become the perfect ending to the trip.
It's a journey designed around rhythm as much as destinations.

day by day itinerary
Santiago: Every great journey needs the right beginning
Santiago is often seen as a gateway to the rest of Chile, but we think it's worth slowing down for a moment. It's the perfect place to recover from your flight, adjust to the rhythm of the country and enjoy your first taste of Chilean food and wine.
Whether it's a relaxed walk through Lastarria, a rooftop overlooking the Andes or an unhurried dinner paired with local wines, today is about arriving—not just in Chile, but into the journey itself.
Highlight: Your first taste of Chile.
Discover Santiago Like a Local
It's the kind of experience that travelers remember long after the trip—not because of the recipe, but because of the connection.
Bonus: Learn how to make an authentic Chilean Pisco Sour to recreate at home
Atacama Dessert: A Different World Awaits
Within just a few hours, bustling streets give way to dramatic volcanoes, endless salt flats and the quiet beauty of the world's driest desert.
Over the next few days, you'll explore this extraordinary landscape with expert local guides, discovering hidden lagoons, colourful valleys and unforgettable sunsets—all at a pace that feels right for you.
Local Insight : The Atacama Desert offers some of the clearest night skies on Earth, making it one of the world's best places for stargazing.
Where Every Landscape Feels Like Another Planet
With your guide, you'll venture into landscapes that seem almost impossible: shimmering salt flats, emerald lagoons surrounded by volcanoes and valleys sculpted by millions of years of wind and time.
No two days in the Atacama feel the same. Every journey reveals another side of this remarkable desert.
Bonus: After a day of exploring, unwind at the spa before sitting down to a dinner inspired by the flavors of northern Chile
One Last Day in the Desert
There's time for one more adventure, one more breathtaking landscape and one more unforgettable sunset. But there's also time to simply slow down—to enjoy the comfort of your lodge, the peaceful silence of the desert and the feeling of being completely immersed in one of the world's most remarkable places.
Tomorrow, another side of Chile awaits.
Bonus: End the day the Atacama way: a soothing spa treatment, a glass of Chilean wine and dinner beneath an endless canopy of stars.
Chile Changes Again: Welcome to Patagonia
Today, you'll travel from the world's driest desert to the wild landscapes of Patagonia—a place where towering peaks, glaciers and crystal-clear lakes create an entirely different side of Chile.
As you settle into your lodge in Torres del Paine, you'll quickly understand why this national park is considered one of the most spectacular places on Earth.
Explore Torres del Paine at your own pace
Today is yours to experience Patagonia your way. Set out with your expert guide on a scenic hike, explore turquoise lakes and waterfalls, ride horseback across the pampas or simply take in the incredible views that surround your lodge.
However you choose to spend the day, you'll quickly understand why Torres del Paine is considered one of the most breathtaking landscapes in South America.
Good to know: Patagonia rewards those who slow down.
Keep an eye out for guanacos, condors, foxes and, if luck is on your side, the elusive puma
Moments You'll Never Forget
It's the unexpected moments: spotting a herd of guanacos crossing the plains, watching a condor glide overhead or standing quietly beside a glacial lake with nothing but the sound of the wind.
Today is another opportunity to experience those moments that make Torres del Paine unforgettable.
Bonus: Every meal celebrates the flavors of Patagonia.
Return to your lodge to enjoy locally inspired cuisine, regional wines and a cozy evening overlooking one of the world's most breathtaking landscapes.
Saying Goodbye to Patagonia
Whether you choose one last guided excursion, a peaceful walk with views of the mountains or simply a quiet breakfast overlooking the park, it's the perfect opportunity to reflect on everything you've experienced in this extraordinary corner of Chile.
Tomorrow, the pace slows once again as you head to Chile's renowned wine country for the final chapter of your journey.
Bonus: One journey. Four completely different Chiles.
From Santiago's vibrant culture to the Atacama Desert, the wild beauty of Patagonia and, next, the vineyards of VIK—each destination reveals a different side of the country.
A Slower Pace Awaits: VIK Chile
After days of exploration, this is your chance to slow down, reconnect and enjoy another side of Chile, where exceptional food, world-class wines and beautiful landscapes come together.
Local Insight: More than a winery, VIK is a destination in itself.
Discover award-winning wines, contemporary art, remarkable architecture and one of Chile's most celebrated luxury retreats
More Than a Wine Tasting
Explore the vineyards, discover how the wines are crafted and enjoy a private tasting that brings together the unique character of the region. Between experiences, take time to admire the striking architecture, contemporary art and peaceful landscapes that make VIK unlike any other wine destination.
Here, every glass tells the story of the land it comes from.
Bonus: Wine is just the beginning.
Long lunches, local ingredients and spectacular vineyard views are all part of the experience
A Journey You'll Remember
They stay with you in the conversations you shared, the landscapes you explored, the meals you enjoyed and the people you met along the way.
As you leave Chile, we hope you take a little of the country with you—and that this is only the beginning of your South American story.
From desert skies to vineyard sunsets, you've experienced Chile at its very best
