Begin your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before embarking on a tour of Santiago. First, discover the city’s rich history as you visit the historic center, featuring landmarks such as the Plaza de Armas, the main cathedral, and the Presidential Palace. Then, gain a unique perspective of the city by taking in the breathtaking views from the top of Cerro San Cristobal. Finally, in the afternoon, feel free to explore and spend your time as you please.

Today you will explore two of the most renowned coastal cities in central Chile: Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. Valparaiso boasts a lively atmosphere with its hillside homes, each painted in vibrant hues, that offer breathtaking views of the bay. Your tour will include visiting the former summer home and museum of Pablo Neruda, a renowned Chilean poet known for his unique and quirky style. Afterward, you will travel to the serene Viña del Mar.

We start the day by heading to Santiago airport for your flight to Calama. On arrival, our transportation service will take you to an all-inclusive lodge in the desert oasis of San Pedro de Atacama. Immerse yourself in the desert experience with an afternoon excursion to the breathtaking Moon Valley, named for its moon-like terrain. Marvel at the stunning sunset that casts its warm glow over the distinctive rock and salt formations and multi-hued mountains. Get ready to be awed by the beauty of the desert.

Let’s go on an expedition to explore the Salar de Atacama, a sprawling salt field in Chile and the largest of its kind in the country. This rough, white landscape lies atop a vast underground lake and is home to a wealth of minerals and salt. At the Chaxa Lagoon in the National Flamingo Reserve, be amazed by the three species of flamingos – the James, Andean, and Chilean – that thrive in this stunning environment. In the afternoon, bask in the serenity of Laguna Cejar, where you can float effortlessly in its highly concentrated salt water.

Rise before the sun to journey to the towering heights of the Tatio Geysers, a geothermal field formed by volcanic activity. Admire the high columns of steam that reach nearly 40 feet, and for the brave, take a dip in the 17-degree Fahrenheit waters. A picnic-style breakfast will be served after your excursion, and along the way, you may encounter vicuñas, vizcachas, and a variety of birds as you stop in a small village. Finally, soak in the beauty of the Puritama hot springs in the afternoon with a relaxing dip in its scenic warm water pools.
