Trips to Chile

Discover Chile on your vacation to South America in 2025

Stretching like a ribbon for 4,200 km between the Andes and the Pacific, Chile is a land of extremes: driest desert on Earth in the north, fertile wine valleys and vibrant Santiago in the center, and glacier-studded Patagonia at its southern tip. Add vivid street art in Valparaíso, the mystique of Easter Island, and world-class stargazing under pristine skies, and you have one of South America’s most diverse adventures.

History of Chile

From pre-Columbian cultures and Inca incursions to Spanish conquest (1541), Chile declared independence in 1818. The 20th-century saw socialist reforms, the 1973 Pinochet coup, and a return to democracy in 1990. Today Chile is a stable, export-driven economy with deep cultural pride.

Diving into Chile's Nature

Otherworldly Atacama salt flats, fertile Central Valley vineyards, the lake district’s volcanoes, and Patagonia’s fjords and glaciers testify to Chile’s staggering ecological range.
