Tailor-made travel
Tailor-Made Trips Through Chile
Private itineraries of 7 to 15 days · From the Atacama to Patagonia · Local operator since 1992
Chile is 4,300 kilometres from north to south. That means a well-built trip isn’t a list of beautiful places — it’s a problem of distances, domestic flights, altitude and seasons, solved before you leave home. We solve it. We have been receiving travellers in Chile since 1992, and we design private itineraries of 7 to 15 days with transport, guides and accommodation coordinated end to end.
We don’t sell fixed packages. Every trip is built around what you want to see, how much time you have and the pace you travel at.
How we work
- You tell us what you’re after. Rough dates, how many are travelling, what interests you — nature, wine, culture, photography, hiking — and what pace suits you. You don’t need an itinerary in mind; that’s our job.
- We propose an itinerary. Within 3 to 5 business days you receive a proposal with a day-by-day route, suggested accommodation, the domestic flights needed and a full price breakdown.
- We refine it together. This is where it gets shaped: swap a destination, add two nights, move hotel category up or down, adjust the pace. Revisions are free.
- You confirm and we book. A 30% deposit secures hotels, domestic flights and services. The balance is due 30 days before departure.
- You travel with backup. You get a document with every detail and a direct WhatsApp contact. During the trip you have support on Chilean hours, every day.
Three sample itineraries
These are real starting points, not brochures. They show how the distances fall into place and what genuinely fits in each duration.
7 days · Santiago, central coast and the Atacama Desert
- Days 1–2 — Arrive in Santiago. City tour of the historic centre, Lastarria and San Cristóbal Hill.
- Day 3 — Valparaíso and Viña del Mar: UNESCO hills, funiculars and street art. Winery tasting in the Casablanca Valley on the way back.
- Day 4 — Fly to Calama and transfer to San Pedro de Atacama. Valle de la Luna at sunset.
- Day 5 — El Tatio geysers at dawn and the village of Machuca.
- Day 6 — Altiplanic lagoons, Piedras Rojas and the Atacama salt flat.
- Day 7 — Flight back to Santiago and international connection.
Our most requested itinerary for travellers with one week. It combines city, coast and the landscape that surprises people most.
10 days · Santiago, Atacama and Patagonia
- Days 1–3 — Santiago, Valparaíso and the Casablanca Valley.
- Days 4–6 — San Pedro de Atacama: Valle de la Luna, El Tatio geysers, altiplanic lagoons.
- Day 7 — Fly to Punta Arenas and transfer to Puerto Natales.
- Days 8–9 — Torres del Paine National Park: Base of the Towers lookout, Grey Lake, French Valley depending on conditions.
- Day 10 — Return to Santiago.
Chile’s two extremes in ten days. Demanding on domestic flights, but it covers the contrast most travellers come for.
15 days · Chile from north to south
- Days 1–3 — Santiago, Valparaíso, Isla Negra and the Casablanca vineyards.
- Days 4–7 — Atacama Desert, with time to acclimatise to the altitude.
- Days 8–10 — Lake District: Puerto Varas, Osorno volcano, Petrohué falls and a day on Chiloé.
- Days 11–14 — Patagonia: Torres del Paine with enough days to actually hike, not just look.
- Day 15 — Return to Santiago.
Fifteen days is the length at which Chile stops being a race. Easter Island can be added with four more days from Santiago.

Where we operate
We are direct operators in the Valparaíso and Santiago regions: our own vehicles, our own guides, and roads we have been driving for three decades.
For the Atacama, the Lake District, Chiloé, Patagonia and Easter Island we work with trusted local operators selected over years. You always deal with us — one quote, one contact, one invoice — and in each destination you are met by people who live there. We say this openly because it is the only honest way to cover a country this long: be sceptical of anyone claiming to operate all of Chile with their own staff.
When to travel
- November to March — The only window when the whole country is open at once. Essential if the trip includes Patagonia. January and February are the priciest and busiest months.
- April and October — Shoulder season. Fewer people and better rates; Patagonia works but with shorter days and changeable weather.
- May to September — Torres del Paine runs on reduced services. The north and the central region, on the other hand, are excellent, and it’s ski season in the Andes near Santiago.
- Atacama — Year-round. Bear in mind that nights at altitude are cold even in summer, and that January and February can bring brief altiplanic rains.
Why book with a local operator
- No middleman. We’re not an agency in your country subcontracting a Chilean operator. We are the operator. You notice it in the price and, above all, when something needs solving mid-trip.
- Knowledge that isn’t online. Which lookout is closed for works, which road takes twice as long in season, which hotel changed hands and is no longer what the reviews say.
- We’re in your time zone while you travel. If a domestic flight is delayed, the person rearranging your day is in Chile, not asleep ten time zones away.
- Sernatur registration 5353 and 34 years of verifiable operation.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
For travel between November and March, three to six months: hotels in Torres del Paine and lodges in the Atacama sell out well ahead. Outside high season, six to eight weeks is usually enough.
What does a trip like this cost?
It depends mostly on accommodation category and the number of domestic flights, which weigh heavily in Chile. We’d rather not publish a “from” price that means nothing: tell us what you have in mind and you’ll get a real figure in the first proposal, with no obligation.
Can we travel with children or with reduced mobility?
Yes, and it’s worth telling us early because it changes the design. With children we adjust distances and transfer times. For reduced mobility, some destinations are fully accessible and others are not; we’ll tell you straight before you book.
Does the guide travel with us the whole time?
It can work either way. The usual setup is a local guide in each destination — they know their own area best. If you’d rather have one guide accompanying the whole route, that’s possible and quoted separately.
Do you book international flights too?
No. You buy those yourself, with whichever airline or agency you prefer. Flights within Chile we do handle, because they’re woven into the itinerary and are best coordinated by whoever designed it.
