Modern, cosmopolitan, vibrant, and boasting world-class infrastructure, Chile is one of the most delightful countries to travel through in Latin America. Yet convenience and ease of travel are certainly not the reasons you should be planning Chile tours.

To say that the country’s landscapes are out of this world would be an understatement. Chile boasts the world's driest desert, the most eclectic region of Patagonia, and—hear us out—the most sensational setting of a capital in all of Latin America. Yes, when it comes to visual feasts, Chile is overwhelmingly greedy.

What we love most about Chile tours, however, is the overwhelming sense of adventure served on silver platters every single day. 

The best Chile holidays will see you explore the otherworldly valleys and rock formations of the Atacama Desert in the north, where stargazing, landscape photography and horseback riding are part of everyday life.

In the vibrant capital of Santiago, further south, you can immerse yourself in the bustling streets, where colonial architecture blends seamlessly with modern skyscrapers. Delve into the country's history at the Pablo Neruda Museum or savour the flavours of Chilean cuisine at local markets and restaurants. Venture beyond the urban sprawl to explore the fertile wine regions of the Central Valley, where vineyards yield some of the world's finest drops. Wine-tasting Chile tours to the Maipo Valley and Casablanca Valley are a must for avid connoisseurs. Or simply anyone who cherishes a good drop.

Keep travelling south and you’ll discover the enchanting beauty of the Lake District, dotted with crystalline lakes, lush forests, and snow-capped volcanoes. For the ultimate adventure, journey to the wild reaches of Patagonia, with its towering peaks, sprawling glaciers, and pristine fjords. Luxury lodges set in the best regions of Patagonia can take your Chile holidays to a whole other level.

Whether hiking through Torres del Paine National Park, cruising the icy waters of the Beagle Channel and Chilean Fjords or discovering the giant statues of remote Easter Island, Chile trips promise unforgettable experiences at every turn.

The magic of Chile awaits! Let Viva Expeditions take you there.
