Expeditions in Chile

What makes Chile so special?
There is nowhere quite like the long, narrow country of Chile. With one of the most diverse landscapes in the world, Chile is home not only to the driest place on earth, but also a portion of Antarctica. With wide desert plains, vineyards, bustling cities, countless museums, crystal lakes and snow-capped volcanoes, Chile has something for every adventurer! If you’re looking to craft your own adventure in the incredible country of Chile, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

The largest and most populated city in Chile, and one of National Geographic’s “places you need to visit in 2018”(opens in a new tab), Santiago is a beacon of activity. Flanked by the Andes mountain range to the East and the coast to the West, Santiago is one of the most beautifully located cities in the world! There is something to do on every corner in this city, from countless museums (from the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, to Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, and Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art, to name a few!) to quirky bars, world-class restaurants and of course hundreds of friendly street dogs, Santiago is a city where the sun is almost always shining and where you will never grow bored. Speaking Spanish is not an easy feat here – Chileans use a particular dialect difficult even for native speakers! – so take advantage of the opportunity and practice your understanding (it is not difficult to find a chatty local eager to have a chat)! Whether you choose to tour the countless vineyards outside the city, learn more about Chilean culture, or if you simply want to practice your Spanish, there is never a dull moment in this bustling city!

Sharing its border with Argentina, Patagonia is Chile’s southernmost point and home to an incredible array of glaciers, soaring mountains, and one of Chile’s largest and most impressive national parks, Torres del Paine. With breathtaking lakes and soaring peaks it is no wonder the park was chosen as the fifth most beautiful place in the world by National Geographic and the 8th Wonder of the World by TripAdvisor. Get away from daily life and immerse yourself in pure, untouched nature. Trek, hike, kayak, camp, take a boat tour, observe wildlife, breathe the crisp, fresh air, and engage the senses in this otherworldly environment! As this region is a hotbed for tourism, there are countless tours on offer, taking you to glacial lakes, up icy mountains, and through the national park itself which is a fantastic opportunity to witness geographical and biological wonders!

Among the world’s longest mountain ranges, The Andes are a haven of biodiversity.
Chile’s Andean mountain range has some of the world’s largest active volcanoes and without a doubt offers some of the most picturesque hiking trails in Chile, and most likely the Americas. The clear, unpolluted sky makes for out-of-this world star gazing opportunities at night – perfect for camping out in the fresh mountain air, far away from the smog of the city. In the winter months, the snow capped mountains host countless ski resorts and in the summer months there are fantastic horseback riding opportunities. Whatever method you choose to explore this vast mountain range, you are guaranteed to encounter a plethora of biodiversity that will stay with you long after you leave!
