Immerse yourself in some of Latin America's most dramatic landscapes
It may be narrow and small compared to some of its colossal neighbours, but Chile is home to some of South America’s most dramatic landscapes. It stretches more than half the entire length of the continent, and the variation from top to bottom is remarkable.
From the lunar-like Atacama Desert of the north, down through the central wine valley to the fjords, forests and ice fields of Patagonia, Chile is an absolute feast for the eyes. It is an outdoor lover’s dream and the best way to explore it is by hiking, cycling and horse riding through its remarkable terrain. Bound by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes mountains to the east, even across its comparatively narrow width, Chile is still incredibly diverse.
As well as its natural beauty, Chile is home to vibrant cities from the exciting capital of Santiago to the colourful sea port of Valparaíso, famous for its street art. And then there’s the wine. Chile’s central valley is well known for its full-bodied reds, but brilliant whites are also produced closer to the Pacific. These wineries are nestled in scenic valleys and are wonderful places to both explore and stay.
Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, sitting over 3,500km off the coast of Chile, feels like another world entirely, one full of mysticism and legend. It is one of the world’s most isolated locations and a trip here feels like a real old-school adventure.
Chilean culture is a captivating blend of Mapuche heritage and Spanish colonial influences intertwined with present-day creativity. You’ll see this culture at its finest during festivals, in the country’s rich literary tradition and not least, in the warmth of the Chilean people.
We plan every step of your trip, with hand picked accommodation, expert local guides and exclusive experiences to suit your travel style and interests. You can relax while discovering this beautiful country, knowing that Jacada is taking care of all the details.
