Detailed luxury journey through Chile Itinerary
Day 1-2: Santiago
Santiago is a wonderful city to start your luxury journey through Chile and is a perfect place to explore independently. We’ve chosen a luxury boutique hotel in a wonderful location to explore the best of the city and test out some exceptional restaurants.
Meet your guide and enjoy a private culinary tour, starting in the vibrant seafood market, tasting delicious local bites, before creating your own dish with an expert chef. Ask our experts for some top recommendations for places to eat, and wonderful rooftop bars for a sunset cocktail.
Day 3-6: Atacama Desert
Your holiday of luxury and contrasts really begins, with a flight north to The Atacama Desert. Officially the driest desert on earth, the Atacama is incomparable when it comes to vivid scenery, stark red-rock formations and moon-like landscapes. Each day choose from a wide selection of exciting private excursions, from a range of hikes, cycling tours through epic gorges, horse riding across the desert and witnessing flamingos on high plateau lagoons.
Stay in one of the most luxurious lodges in South America, with world-class food, delicious fine wine and views that will form lifetime memories.
Day 7-10: The Lake District
After your adventures in the desert comes the fresh, green region of the Chilean Lake District. Your time here will be spent at an award-winning hacienda, with incredible service, delicious cuisine and views of the Liucura River and Villarrica Volcano.
Your daily activities are all included and offered on a private basis with expert guides who will talk you through your daily preferences. Choose from well-established hiking routes, shorter walking trails, white-water rafting to get your adrenaline pumping or even try your hand at fishing.
There is something for all nature and adventure lovers here and if you’d like to learn more about the history of the Mapuche people, Chile’s largest indigenous group, we also recommend the cultural excursions.
Day 11-13: Winelands
The next stop on your luxury journey through Chile is the wine region, a short drive from Santiago following your return flight.
This award-wining vineyard is the perfect place to sample some incredible wine, enjoying lazy days relaxing in the vineyards, or get your active hat back on for hiking, horse riding and biking.
Stay in a gorgeous boutique hotel set to the backdrop of the mighty Andes Mountains. Sit by the pool while sipping a wine, a perfect end to your luxury Chile holiday.
Day 14: Santiago
Check out of your vineyard hotel and catch your flight back to Santiago. Spend one final night in the city and relax in your 5* hotel before you head home. Interested in adding on some time in Patagonia to your luxury Chile holiday? Take a look at our Patagonia holidays for inspiration.
