See Do Stay
Celebrate the sights of Santiago
In Santiago, you can spend the morning skiing
on the Andes and head down to the beaches
in the afternoon, but the city itself is full of
culture to explore. Spend your time getting
acquainted with the city’s museums, events,
theatres, restaurants and bars.
The Atacama Desert
It’s home to a huge range of rare sights, from
dramatic geysers which shoot high into the
air to salt lakes stretched out along the plains
soaking up the sun. It’s also home to many
unique and fascinating cultures.
Spot puma in Patagonia
Full of dramatic scenery that showcases the
drama of the region, the southernmost tip
of the country is teeming with life. While
exploring the Patagonian national parks,
look out for armadillo, guanaco, many
species of bird and even an occasional puma.
Ask an A&K travel specialist about
combining your Chilean holiday
with a visit to Easter Island.
Camp in the Moon Valley
Sleep in ultimate comfort under the stars in
Atacama’s Moon Valley. A local astronomer
will guide you through the night sky, which
shines with unparalleled clarity in this desert
wilderness. No experience will take you so
close to such a tranquil and untouched setting.
Drive the Carretera Austral
The Carretera Austral is the name given to
Chile’s Route Seven. This lengthy road cuts
through some of Chile’s most spectacular
scenery. As you go at your own pace, stopping
where you please, gawp at the dramatic drops
and soaring peaks. This is a chance to see the
country at its most rugged.
Hike the Torres del Paine
Trekking to the base of the world-famous
Torres del Paine is one way to get up close and
personal with the natural beauty of Chile. The
higher you climb, the more arresting the views
of Patagonian golden pampas grasslands and
the granite towers of the surrounding peaks.
The Singular Patagonia
Set on the shores of the striking Last Hope
Fjord, this hotel is also close to the Torres del
Paine National Park. It’s the perfect base for
seeing the many dramatic sights of the region
without missing out on luxury and comfort.
Alto Atacama Desert Lodge
The interior of this lodge is decorated with
old Aguayos tapestries of the Altiplano, lamps
made of Brea, and sculptures and weavings by
local artisans. Outside, the natural beauty of
Atacama abounds. Here in the Catarpe Valley,
you’re right in the heart of the wild.
Explora Rapa Nui’s Posada
de Mike Rapu
This peaceful hotel is located on the remote
Easter Island. Discover the moai (or stone
heads), the petroglyphs (rock carvings) and
other ancestral traces which give Easter Island
its mystery. After exploring the archaeology,
enjoy the hotel’s swimming pool, solar-heated
Jacuzzi and sun terraces.
