This morning, after breakfast at your hotel you’ll enjoy a tour of Santiago. You’ll visit the city’s historic center where you’ll find the Plaza de Armas, the main cathedral, and the Presidential Palace. You will also have the chance to view the city from the top of Cerro San Cristobal. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at your leisure.

Today you’ll visit two of central Chile’s most popular coastal cities: Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. Valparaiso is a vibrant, colorful collection of hillside houses overlooking the bay. Here you’ll visit the eminently quirky summer house and now museum of Pablo Neruda, one of Chile’s most prolific poets. You’ll then continue to the tranquil Viña del Mar, a popular beach retreat for the Santiago elite.

Welcome to Patagonia, one of the most remarkable landscapes in all of South America. You'll land in Punta Arenas where a guide will meet you and escort you to your luxury lodge located within the icy wonderland of Torres del Paine National Park.

Although your daily excursions are fully customizable, we recommend you spend your first day acquainting yourself with your Patagonia surroundings by taking a full-day tour of Torres del Paine. Setting off from your lodge, you'll get to experience the park's highlights, including Lago Grey and Glacier Grey. Enjoy a picnic lunch during your excursion but you’ll be back at your lodge for dinner.

Patagonia is famous for its frontier and gaucho lifestyle. Get a taste of the Patagonian outback by taking a horseback riding excursion across the valley and to some spectacular lookout points. Trips are available for all skill levels, and if you prefer you can spend the day trekking (or even relaxing at the lodge) instead.

With dozens of half-day and full-day excursions to choose from, you're free to customize your final full day in Torres del Paine however you desire. Spend it looking for wildlife, learning about local flora or relaxing at the lodge.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your lodge and perhaps indulge in a luxurious spa treatment (or two!) before meeting your transfer for the trip back to Punta Arenas. There, you'll catch your flight back home or to your next South America travel destination.
