Carved like a slender ribbon between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, Chile is a country defined by dramatic contrasts. Stretching 4,300 km from desert to glacier, its landscapes shift from the lunar silence of the Atacama to the lush valleys of its celebrated wine regions, and the wind-brushed steppes and jagged granite peaks of Patagonia. Few places on earth offer such extraordinary diversity within a single journey.

This signature 14-night Aracari itinerary celebrates Chile’s extremes, cultural, geographical, and sensory. Wander Santiago’s bohemian districts and the colorful hills of Valparaíso. Sip world-class wines in Casablanca and Cachapoal. Venture deep into Torres del Paine, staying at the park’s only luxury eco-lodge as you explore forests, pampas, glaciers, and the iconic Paine Massif with specialist guides. Then trade Patagonia’s icy blues for the ochre palette of San Pedro de Atacama, where days are filled with private explorations of volcanoes, geysers, canyons, and salt lakes.

Finally, unwind in the rolling vineyards of the Millahue Valley, staying at one of Chile’s most acclaimed wine estates, a retreat that blends avant-garde architecture, art, gastronomy, and exceptional vintages.

Designed for travelers seeking a rich blend of nature, culture, wine, and world-class hospitality, this journey reveals Chile at its most magnificent. And, as always, every detail can be tailored to your pace, interests, and style, whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends.

Highlights

  • Explore Santiago with a private guide, uncovering its history, architecture, and thriving bohemian neighborhoods.
  • Taste exceptional cool-climate wines in the Casablanca Valley before wandering the colorful, UNESCO-listed streets of Valparaíso.
  • Stay at Patagonia’s most iconic eco-lodge on Lake Pehoé and explore Torres del Paine’s dramatic landscapes with expert guides.
