Chilean Patagonia
Patagonia possesses a beauty that shocks the senses and defies expectation. In the northern Lake District the landscape is dotted with dense forest, verdant countryside, snow-capped volcanoes and glacial lakes. There’s a wealth of activities to incorporate into our Chile tours including hiking, volcano-climbing, rafting, fly-fishing and horse riding. Complementing it beautifully, the south is dramatic and elemental. Astonishing scenery of jagged rocky spires and milky blue glaciers combine with exceptional hiking, climbing and pioneering puma conservation programmes to create unforgettable adventures woven into luxury holidays in Chile.
Easter Island
Easter Island (known as ‘Rapa Nui’ to its Polynesian inhabitants) is another option for the explorer searching for an adventure of their own. It lies 3,700 km west of Chile and the destination is worth the journey. Mystery surrounds its original settlement and the culture here is defined by myths and legends, and Easter Island is generally accepted as the most isolated permanently inhabited place on earth. The ancient language and many traditions endure, while enormous carved stone moai speak of a mystical, distant past. These silent stone figures, together with the history, geology, archaeology and the fiery sunsets, active adventures and friendly local Rapa Nui make Easter Island a spellbinding option for those looking to curate one-of-a-kind luxury holidays in Chile.
