| Information about this itinerary: |
| Santiago (22 Hotels options in Santiago) |  | Santiago is an architectural collage of old Spanish colonial charm, European elegance, and North American suburbia, populated with five million amiable Chileans. However, the city lacks the Indian markets prevalent in other Andean countries. In the city's center there are pedestrian malls with cobblestone walkways lined with shopping galleries, fountains, cafes, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and banks. There is an intense activity in the arts and also an exciting nightlife. |
| Atacama Desert (13 Hotels options in Atacama Desert) |  | The town resembles a cross between a Pennsylvania mining town and an old frontier town of the Western US. San Pedro de Atacama was the most populated town in pre-Columbian times. Visit the outstanding Archaeology Museum, a must see in Chile. The Valley of the Moon is a mysterious valley, which turns brilliant colors and shimmers in the moonlight. The Pukara is a mountainside stone fortress built by the Atacama Indians. |
| Puerto Varas - Puerto Montt (10 Hotels options in Puerto Varas - Puerto Montt) |  | Puerto Varas is a nineteenth century port, situated at 12 miles north of Puerto Montt, on Lake Llanquihui, that faces the white cone of the Osorno Volcano. Renowned as one of the most beautiful trips in the area, Puerto Varas sits at the banks of the lake crossing from here to Argentina (Bariloche), sailing through emerald lakes and winding roads across the Andes mountain range.
|
| Torres del Paine (6 Hotels options in Torres del Paine) |  | Torres del Paine National Park, declared Reserve of the Biosphere by Unesco in 1978, is the most important and internationally renowned highlight of the Chilean Patagonia.
In this beautiful, unspoiled and remote place of 181,000 hectares, the granite torres (towers) and cuernos (horns) have given world-wide fame to the Park. It also offers seclusion and adventure with spectacular scenery of mountain range, lakes, rivers and the pampa, which is home to the graceful guanaco (a relative of the llama) and the speedy ņandu (a variety of ostrich), while high above circles the ubiquitous condor.
The best season to visit the park is from October to April, which is Spring and Summer in the southern hemisphere. This season has more sunny days with less rain. |
| Vina del Mar - Valparaiso (10 Hotels options in Vina del Mar - Valparaiso) |  | Vina del Mar, just north of Valparaiso, is a combination of a garden city, a Pacific resort, and a cosmopolitan city with a spicy mix of beaches, lush gardens, and nightlife. It explodes in the summer, when thousands arrive to laze the day away on the beaches and crowd the expensive nightspots in the evening. It houses the Casino Municipal, South America's premier gambling house on the Pacific. Vina is a clean, attractive and progressive city.
