Santiago, Chile Vacation Packages

Explore centuries of history by walking around the city’s Art Museum District or Central Historico’s many parks and cultural activities. Tour Santiago on a bicycle along gourmet routes or follow the footsteps of national poets. Climb to the top of the San Cristobal Hill or the Sky Costanera, the highest lookout in Latin America. Chile is also perfect for a family vacation. Take the kids to the Metropolitan Zoo, learn about art at the Artequín Museum or discover science at the Mirador Interactive Museum.

Santiago is just the beginning of your Chilean adventure. Lose yourself in the hills of the port city of Valparaiso, then cool off on the beaches of Vina del Mar or Renaca. Be mesmerized by the immensity of the desert in the north, marvel at the salt flats of the Atacama Desert, and fall in love with the freshness of the forests in southern Chile.

In Patagonia, visit the breathtaking Torres del Paine National Park, where you can enjoy snowy peaks, glacial lakes, immense ice fields, and even check off one of the most beautiful hikes on earth — the world-famous W Trek.

Some of the best wines in the world are just a few miles from the capital. Pirque and Maipo Valleys await you with activities that are well worth doing.
