Chile Explorer

Land in Calama and meet your private driver for the scenic journey to Casa Solcor Boutique B&B, where you’ll stay for 4 nights on a bed & breakfast basis. Nestled in peaceful surroundings just outside San Pedro de Atacama, the hotel offers a rustic yet elegant atmosphere with a garden pool. After check-in, enjoy a relaxed afternoon exploring the adobe lanes of the town or unwinding by the garden pool. In the evening, why not sample traditional Chilean fare in a rustic courtyard restaurant or enjoy your first desert sunset from a nearby mirador?

These days are all about exploring the Atacama’s surreal landscapes with expert local guides. Begin with a sunset tour to the Valle de la Luna—its wind-sculpted dunes and craters turning gold and crimson in the twilight. Wake early for a full-day excursion to the Tatio Geysers, where steaming vents erupt from the earth at dawn. You’ll return via remote villages like Machuca, where llamas graze and mudbrick chapels stand frozen in time. Another day, visit the shimmering Salar de Atacama and the high-altitude lagoons of Miscanti and Miñiques, framed by snow-dusted peaks and home to Andean flamingos. On your free afternoon, relax back at Casa Solcor or browse the artisan shops and galleries in town.

Tailor it to you and add a half-day hike in the Rainbow Valley, known for its multi-coloured rock formations, or a moonlit stargazing session with a local astronomer—Atacama’s skies are among the clearest in the world!

Fly to Santiago and check in to Casa Bueras Boutique Hotel, your stylish retreat in leafy Lastarria for 3 nights on a bed & breakfast basis. On arrival, take a private guided tour of the city’s highlight:

• Plaza de Armas
• The neoclassical La Moneda Palace
• The Pre-Columbian Art Museum

Wander the bohemian Bellavista district or take the cable car up Cerro San Cristóbal for panoramic views. That evening, dine at a local eatery famed for its Chilean seafood dishes.

Today is reserved for wine lovers. Head into the heart of the Maipo Valley for a full-day private tour of two premium wineries, such as Viña El Principal or Santa Rita. You’ll stroll among the vines, visit barrel-filled cellars, and enjoy tastings of bold reds and crisp whites. A gourmet lunch with vineyard views rounds off the day before returning to Santiago. Prefer bubbles to bold reds? Ask us about swapping Maipo for the Casablanca Valley’s cool-climate whites.

Fly south to Puerto Montt and meet your driver for the short transfer to Casa Molino Hotel Boutique, your lakefront retreat on the shores of Llanquihue, where you’ll stay for 3 nights on a bed & breakfast basis. After check-in, enjoy the tranquil garden and stunning Osorno Volcano views. This afternoon, take a gentle walk into Puerto Varas to explore its German-influenced architecture and lakeside promenade, or enjoy a kayak outing right from the hotel.

Over the next two days, you’ll explore Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, Chile’s oldest protected area. Walk through native forest to reach the emerald Petrohué Falls, then continue to Lago Todos los Santos, where you can take a catamaran ride across pristine waters framed by towering peaks. Another day, tackle a guided hike on the slopes of Osorno Volcano or unwind in one of the region’s natural hot springs. Evenings are perfect for savouring local trout or lamb dishes by the fire. Ask us about private sailing trips, fly fishing, or a cooking class with a local chef.

Transfer to the Pacific coast for three nights at Casa Higueras, a chic hillside retreat with a tranquil pool and sweeping harbour views, staying for 3 nights on a bed & breakfast basis. Stroll through the maze of cobbled streets and colourful murals in Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción, browse art galleries tucked in restored mansions, and sip coffee at quirky cafés overlooking the port. Visit Pablo Neruda’s seaside home, La Sebastiana, and take in the city from atop its many funiculars. Or choose to upgrade to Casadoca Boutique Hotel in Viña del Mar for beach walks and quiet elegance. Love photography? Ask us to include a private street art or architectural photo tour.
