Santiago de Chile

Santiago de Chile is a major metropolis that rests in a valley between the snow-capped Andes rising dramatically to the east and the coastal cordillera rolling gently to the west. Founded in 1541, the city pulses with the rhythms of both colonial and contemporary Chile. You will see ancient churches with weathered stone facades standing beside glass towers in the financial district, and street vendors selling sopaipillas in plazas where protests and celebrations have shaped the nation’s turbulent history. The air carries the scent of empanadas from corner bakeries while street musicians play cueca and cumbia along the sidewalks. On clear days, the Andes appear so close you could reach out and touch them, their peaks turning shades of pink and gold at sunset. Ride a funicular up San Cristóbal hill, where the white statue of the Virgin Mary watches over the sprawling metropolis below. Visit bohemian neighborhoods such as Bellavista which is brimming with colorful murals, book shops and wine bars. From here, you could venture to Valparaíso on the Pacific coast, the vineyards of the Maipo Valley, or the otherworldly landscapes of the Atacama Desert to the north.

Easter Island

Anchored in the southeastern Pacific Ocean some 2,300 miles off the coast of Chile, Easter Island, known to its indigenous Polynesian people as Rapa Nui, is one of the most remote inhabited islands on earth. Settled by Polynesian voyagers centuries before European contact, the island carries a cultural and archaeological legacy that draws scholars and travelers in equal measure. Volcanic slopes roll toward black-rock coastlines where waves break against the shore. Across the island, at intervals, massive stone Moai figures rise from the ground and stand watch. These statues have been carved from compressed volcanic ash by the early Rapa Nui people and erected across ceremonial platforms called ahu. Each one commands the landscape and nothing adequately prepares you for your first sight of them. To protect its unique culture and fragile ecosystem from the effects of mass tourism, Rapa Nui has embarked on a path toward a sustainable future. The focus today is on regulated, low-impact tourism. While here, gain insight into how the locals survive this harsh landscape and engage with the mystery of how the Moai figures were carved, transported and erected during ancient times.

Wine Valleys of Chile

Chile’s wine region extends along the length of the country and is known for producing some of the finest wines in the world. Casablanca Valley, tucked between the capital city of Santiago and the Pacific Coast, is home to some of the country’s leading wineries. The cool morning mists and low average temperatures make the valley conducive to growing grape varieties used to produce excellent white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Located close to Santiago, Maipo Valley has hot and dry summers and cold, wet winters that make it ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon varietals. There is also the Colchagua Valley, surrounded by the Andes and Coastal Mountain Ranges. The area is dotted with diverse vineyards and topnotch wineries specializing in Cabernet, Carmenere, Syrah, and Malbec. Nearby, you will find Millahue where the combination of fertile volcanic soil and an arid Mediterranean climate nurture a variety of grapes. In the distinctive wine-producing regions, you could visit the wineries to learn more about viniculture, sample house wines and enjoy leisurely strolls around the lush vineyards.

Torres del Paine

Rising from the southern reaches of Chilean Patagonia, Torres del Paine National Park is one of South America’s defining wilderness landscapes. Ancient glaciers carved the terrain over millennia, leaving behind a dramatic tableau of granite spires, turquoise lakes and sweeping golden steppe that stretches toward the horizon. The park’s signature towers, the three sheer columns of pale rock that seem to pierce the Patagonian sky, anchor the landscape visually and spiritually. Below them, the Grey Glacier calves into a lake of electric blue. Guanacos move in unhurried herds across open grasslands, while Andean condors ride the fierce thermal winds overhead. The elusive puma also inhabits this territory, moving quietly through the scrub and rocky outcrops. What draws discerning travelers here is the ability to experience the raw wilderness while accessing comfortable accommodations. Eco-lodges position guests directly within the landscape, their floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Cuernos del Paine as the last light fades. Expert local naturalists guide each day, turning every trail and shoreline into a deeper encounter with one of the planet’s great wild places.
