A three-week itinerary that takes you to some of the most unique and special parts of Chile, exploring the varied indigenous cultures.
The itinerary starts with a night in Santiago in a luxury, boutique hotel. The next day, you will take a flight to Easter Island, located far off the coast of Chile, in the Pacific Ocean. Easter Island is a very special place with a fascinating Polynesian influence, spectacular scenery and great seafood. Spend three nights here, exploring the island with your guide. Next you will fly back to Santiago for a night before taking a flight the following morning to the beautiful Chiloe Island. You will spend three nights here, experiencing a different but equally fascinating culture, steeped in folklore. The scenery is stunning in this part of Chile and the itinerary continues along the Carretera Austral as you visit this part of Patagonia. You will travel along the Carretera with your private guide, staying in cosy Patagonian lodges and experience a warm welcome in a beautiful part of the world.

I will never forget waking up to the sight of dolphins feeding right in front of our room... what a way to start the day! I have been lucky enough to travel to a lot of incredible places in my life but Chiloe Island, specifically Tierra Chiloe, is now my favourite place in the world.
