Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Day 1 - Santiago
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Chile. Your adventure begins in Santiago – with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, this is the perfect gateway to Chile’s varied landscapes, whether you’re headed for snow, sea or desert. You’ll be collected from the airport and transferred to your hotel for a free evening to explore at your own pace. Santiago’s centre is compact, with Plaza de Armas at its heart. For a quieter side of city life, head to Barrio Bellavista, Santiago’s ‘Paris Quarter’ and ride the cable car up Cerro San Cristobal. On a clear day, you’ll enjoy stunning views over the city and the Andes.
Day 2 - Santiago
This morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel for a city tour that combines walking and driving. Learn about the history of Santiago, founded in 1541 by the Spaniard Pedro de Valdivia and originally settled by the Picunche Indigenous people. The city has a turbulent history, marked by native wars, floods and earthquakes. You'll visit Plaza de Armas, home to the Royal Court Palace, the Natural History Museum and Central Post Office. Stroll through the streets and neighbourhoods around the Government Palace, then head to Cerro Santa Lucia – the hill where de Valdivia established the settlement. Today, it’s a park with fountains and a fort, offering one of the best views of the city. After, return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day as you wish. Maybe dine at one of the city's famous restaurants, where you can try ceviche (seafood dish) or pastel de choclo (meat corn casserole).
Day 3 - Casablanca Valley - Valparaiso - Santiago
This morning, travel west towards Valparaiso, passing through the Casablanca Valley, known for its exceptional wines. Here, you’ll visit a world-class winery to learn about Chilean wine production and enjoy a tasting of its signature wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Continue to Valparaiso – a port city where residents have creatively built colourful homes on every patch of land. Known for its street art, the historic quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can explore art galleries, cafes and local breweries. If you want a good view of it all, hop in the funicular railway. Later, you’ll head back to Santiago for a free evening.
Day 4 - Santiago
There are no activities planned for today, so you can depart the accommodation any time before checkout.
