The Andes mountain range, this mythical chain of mountains, transports travelers to a whole different world. Between the beauty of the landscapes, the small town of Uspallata, and the desert mountains like Cerro Siete, you will be amazed!

Moreover, towards the northwest, you will find the small town of Jujuy as well as the Quechua villages and their culture. In the south of the valley, the multicolored rocky slopes of the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores dominate the village of Purmamarca.

Tailor-made trip to Chile

For an authentic trip to Chile, you absolutely must visit the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world! It is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes. This vastness is bordered by gigantic snow-capped volcanoes and populated with geysers and deep blue lagoons.

Torres del Paine National Park is the largest in the country. It has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO! What could be more typical for your personalized vacation? This park is at the heart of Patagonia, with the majestic peaks of the Andes, lakes, and several glaciers.

The capital, Santiago de Chile, is also a must-see stop in the country. Rich in culture and bustling with cafes, restaurants, and museums, you won't get bored! Be sure to visit Bellavista (the bohemian part of the city) and the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. Don't miss the Pre-Columbian Art Museum or the Metropolitan Cathedral and Plaza de Armas.

The Carretera Austral connects Puerto Montt to Villa O’Higgins. This panoramic road of 1,240 kilometers winds through Patagonia and offers visitors spectacular scenery. You will see magnificent fjords, crystal-clear water, lush forests, and glaciers!

Finally, the Futaleufú River, also called Rio Grande, is an exceptional site for rafting. The inhabitants of the region, the Mapuche Indians, gather to go down the river by boat. Traditionally, they practice trout fishing, but for pleasure: the fish caught are always released.
