Chile Holidays
south & central america
In northern Chile, the lunar landscapes of the Atacama Desert awaits with bubbling geysers, dramatic sand dunes and turquoise lagoons. Approximately 2,000 miles south lies one the highlights of South America, the wild Torres del Paine National Park, where the dramatic mountains and sparkling glaciers are simply breathtaking.
The cosmopolitan capital of Chile, Santiago is well worth a few days, while nearby coastal Valparaiso’s maze of cobbled streets and colourful buildings delights visitors. In the picturesque Chilean Lake District, majestic volcanoes and forest fringed lakes await.
Far out at sea lies the mysterious and isolated Easter Island – discover the giant Moai statues and the rugged coastline of this fascinating, remote island.
Trailfinders offers a range of holidays to Chile and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore Chile on a private touring holiday, a fly drive holiday or an adventurous guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine Chile with another South American country – they are the perfect people to ask.

Chile Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Michelle Tachon
Chile's scenery varies from mountains and lakes to deserts and beaches! One of the most fun ways to experience the great outdoors is to incorporate some active tours in your itinerary. Whether it's kayaking in the beautiful Lake District, hiking in the incredible Torres del Paine National Park or a cycling tour in Santiago there are lots of options for all interests and abilities.
Carrie Hawes
On Easter Island, climb up Rano Kau, sit on the crater's edge as you look out to sea and I'll swear you can see the horizon curve. It totally reinforces that you are truly on one of the most remote places on the planet.
Victoria Akers
The Atacama Desert is incredible, so much variety in scenery and a huge amount of things to see and do. The actual town of San Pedro is small and backpackery, but with a really great vibe and lots of funky bars and restaurants. Worth going out there one evening after an excursion.
