Lieux incontournables

Chile: an unforgettable getaway between nature and culture.

Vast expanses backed by the endless Andes Mountains, which serve as the backbone of the country. Rocky landscapes of Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of Chilean Patagonia, desert and arid valleys in the north at Atacama, endless pampas in the center, but also fine sandy beaches, fjords at the end of the world, geysers, glaciers, multicolored lagoons, snow-capped volcanoes, extremes attract and meet in Chile. Not to mention Easter Island and its mysterious moai thousands of kilometers offshore in the Pacific Ocean. A wild nature where Magellanic penguins and other flamingos thrive, and which is imbued with the rich Chilean culture, a mix of ancestral traditions inherited from the Araucans and Incas and a certain "Westernization" brought by Spanish settlers.

A Journey of a Thousand Faces and Landscapes

Your tailor-made journey to Chile will take you on a long and narrow strip of land 4,300 km long and 200 km wide. Chile condenses a unique variety of wild panoramas into a breathtaking immensity.

The Must-Sees of a Trip to Chile

The Atacama Desert, the driest in the world, and the Valley of the Moon await you in northern Chile, between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. This inhospitable vastness is bordered by snow-capped volcanoes and populated with geysers and deep blue lagoons. Four hours by plane from Santiago, Easter Island rises in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is the most isolated inhabited island in the world, known as Rapanui by its first inhabitants. It is famous for its thousands of basalt statues, the moais. Lovers of trekking and nature head to Punta Arenas, the capital of Chilean Antarctica, before moving towards Torres del Paine National Park. This wild park is the kingdom of pumas, condors, vicuñas, and flamingos.

Discovering Chile Differently

Nestled at the foot of the Andes, in the heart of the country, the Colchagua Valley is the most favorable wine region for wine tourism. A bucolic itinerary through the Chilean pampas allows you to taste, from vine to vine, the most renowned grape varieties of the Latin American continent. 400 km south of Santiago, there is a succession of turquoise lakes, dense forests, powerful rivers, and snow-capped volcanoes. These landscapes are the starting point for marvelous ascents above the clouds, with sled descents on the Villarica volcano. In contrast to modern Santiago, the port city of Valparaiso enchants the 45 surrounding hills with its brightly colored buildings and remarkable street art on every corner. A true cultural capital of Chile.

A Safe and Stable Country

By following the safety rules that everyone adheres to in their daily life, nothing should happen to you. Santiago, like any capital city, and the large cities of the country may present some minor delinquency issues. However, one does not expect to be assaulted or kidnapped at the first intersection. You will be surprised by how easy it is to travel in Chile, which has very high-quality infrastructure.
