Information about Chile

Discover the wonders of Chile with Viventura's small group tours Chile, a country of remarkable contrasts, offers an unparalleled travel experience where you can explore almost every climate and ecosystem in South America. This slender country stretches over 4,100 kilometers from north to south, while averaging less than 200 kilometers in width from west to east. Despite its narrow breadth, Chile boasts dry deserts, lush subtropical forests, ice caps, and glaciers.

Geographical marvels: from deserts to glaciers Chile's geographical diversity is nothing short of extraordinary. It is the world's southernmost country, serving as a gateway to Antarctica and the remote Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui. Easter Island, one of the most isolated places on Earth, is located over 2,000 kilometers from the nearest inhabited land. Here, you can marvel at the giant statues, known as Moai, which stand as silent sentinels over the island.

The Atacama desert: a land of extremes One of Chile’s most iconic landscapes is the Atacama Desert, renowned as the driest desert in the world. A circuit Chile in small group through this region offers an unforgettable journey. Visit the Moon Valley (Valle de la Luna), a surreal landscape resembling the surface of the moon, and witness the pink flamingos at the Salar de Uyuni. The desert's unique terrain and vibrant colors create an otherworldly experience that’s perfect for adventure seekers and photographers alike.

Patagonia: nature's masterpiece Traveling further south, you reach Patagonia, home to the breathtaking Torres del Paine National Park. This UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve is part of the Andes Cordillera and is famous for its stunning mountains, glaciers, and turquoise lakes. An organized trip in Chile and particularly in this region allows you to explore some of the most picturesque landscapes on the planet. Trekking through the park, you will encounter a variety of wildlife, including guanacos, condors, and possibly even pumas.

The end of the world: Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn At the southernmost tip of Chile lies Tierra del Fuego, a wild and windswept archipelago that feels like the edge of the world. Here, you can explore Cape Horn, the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. This remote and rugged area offers a glimpse into the sheer power of nature, where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet in a tumultuous embrace.

Vibrant cities and cultural riches Chile’s cities offer a vibrant mix of modernity and history. Santiago, the bustling capital, is a city of contrasts where skyscrapers stand alongside colonial buildings. For ideas on what to do in Santiago, check out our top 10 list. Santiago is also a gateway to Chile's renowned wine country, where you can tour vineyards and sample some of the world's best wines.

Valparaíso, a colorful port city, is another must-visit destination. This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its steep hills and vibrant street art, has long inspired artists and poets, including the famous Pablo Neruda. Wandering through Valparaíso's labyrinthine streets, you’ll discover hidden gems around every corner.

The clear skies of San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama, located in the heart of the desert, is known for its otherworldly landscapes and crystal-clear night skies. This town is a haven for stargazers and astronomers, offering some of the best stargazing conditions on the planet. The nearby El Tatio geyser field and the ethereal beauty of the Altiplano lagoons make San Pedro de Atacama a must-visit destination on any small group circuit in Chile.

The enchanting Lake District Further south, the Lake District offers lush forests, sparkling lakes, and snow-capped volcanoes. This region is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and fishing. The town of Puerto Varas, with its charming German architecture and stunning views of the Osorno Volcano, serves as a great base for exploring the region.

Exploring the fjords and glaciers Chile’s southern fjords and glaciers are a true natural wonder. Cruising through these icy waters, you’ll witness towering glaciers calving into the sea and dramatic fjords carved by millennia of glacial activity. The remote beauty of this region is best experienced on a organized trip in Chile, where you can explore hidden bays and untouched landscapes.

South Lipez: a hidden gem One of the highlights of any trip to Chile is visiting the remote and beautiful region of South Lipez. This less-traveled area offers striking desert landscapes and vibrant salt flats. The colorful lagoons, with their flamingos and dramatic mountain backdrops, create a surreal and unforgettable experience.

The wonders of Easter Island Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is one of the world's most mysterious and remote destinations. The island is famous for its Moai statues, which were carved by the Rapa Nui people centuries ago. A visit to this UNESCO World Heritage site provides a fascinating glimpse into the island's unique culture and history. The island's rugged coastline and volcanic landscapes add to its enigmatic beauty.
