Latin Excursions introduces a new 10-day, eco-oriented, Chile tour program is for nature lovers that combines two of Chile’s most stunning natural regions: the Atacama Desert and Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia.
Begin your Chilean adventure in Santiago, the capital city, with a city tour to highlights of this major South American capital. Then, continue north to the Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world, and home to stark desert landscapes and interesting wildlife and history. Your home base for explorations into the desert and Altiplano will be the village oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, which has been inhabited for centuries. Stay at a luxurious lodge, with daily excursions to El Tatio Geysers, the Valley of the Moon, pre-Columbian ruins, high altitude lagoons, salt flats and more!
After spending four or five days in the Atacama, you’ll fly back to Santiago for an overnight, before continuing your adventures in Patagonia.
Torres del Paine National Park is home to ancient forests, imposing glaciers, fjords, and the torres (towers) that overlook the park. You’ll stay in Patagonia Camp, a unique way to experience Patagonia. Your luxury yurt tent overlooks Lake Toro, and the camp is just outside the National Park. Excursions are planned each evening with expert guides, depending on guests’ preferences, and take you around the region.
End the trip with a flight back to Santiago, and overnight before your international flight home. Ask us for details on planning this trip, and other accommodation options.
