| 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. |
| Easter Island (5 Hotels options in Easter Island) |  | Eastern Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is the most isolated island on earth. It remains an enigma how the island's descendants could design and sculpt hundreds of colossal Moai head sculptures from hard volcanic tuff, transport them to great distances, and erect them on great stone platforms (Ahu). Three volcanoes gave rise to this island, creating dramatic landscapes. Ancient inhabitants had an organized society, a written language, wonderful building techniques, and a complex religion.
|
| 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.
|
| Punta Arenas - Straits of Magellan (5 Hotels options in Punta Arenas - Straits of Magellan) |  | Today, Punta Arenas reflects a great mix of cultures, from English sheep ranchers to Portuguese sailors, and it remains an utterly fascinating testament to the Chile's rich history.
It is found on the western edge of the Straits of Magellan, which join the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, offering great views over the colorful roofs of the city of Tierra del Fuego.
It's privileged location has made of this port the gateway to initiate an amazing experience in Torres del Paine National Park, or a beatiful cruise towards Cabo de Hornos or the Antarctica. |
| 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.
|
| Explora in Torres del Paine |  | Explora Lodge is designed to bring you into intimate contact with the magnificent natural world of the remote Patagonia, a magical region where nature is still virgin, and the heart of this land - Torres del Paine National Park- exemplifies this overwhelming scenery.
Located on a remarkable location on the shores of Lago Pehoe in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, the Explora's architecture combines perfectly with the environment and is notable in its simplicity.
