One country, five landscapes. Santiago’s cobbled barrios, Patagonia’s peaks, the Lakes District’s volcano-rimmed shores, the Atacama’s otherworldly skies, and Colchagua’s vine-covered hills.
One night in the cultural heart of Santiago — Neruda’s neighborhood, the Bellas Artes, the best rooftop bar in the city. A private half-day city tour sets the tone. The trip starts here, but Chile is already pulling you south.
A 19th-century working cattle estancia on 101,000 hectares, with the Paine towers on the horizon. Pumas, guanacos, condors, and the Grey Glacier — all accessed by horseback, 4x4, and on foot. The guides design each day around the weather and your heart’s desire.

AWA is at the threshold of Patagonia, and awesome in its own right. Designed by its architect owners on the shores of Llanquihue Lake with the Osorno Volcano filling every window view, it has 16 rooms, a spa, and food from the garden and local growers. Private guides facilitate hiking, biking, kayaking, and rafting, as well as heli or seaplane tours.
Salt flats, rust canyons, altiplano terrain, and 330 cloud-free nights a year. Explora moves you through five altitude zones, each with its own terrain. Evenings end with private stargazing sessions with a local astronomer.
Ten casitas on a 1,600-acre Relais & Châteaux estate at the foot of the Apalta amphitheater vineyards. A cooking class, a winery tour, biking through vineyards, and a four-course dinner with wine pairings from the estate. Chile ends the way it should — at a table, with a glass, with time to drink it all in.
“Land stays wild when the people living beside it are better off with the wildlife than without it.”
