Chile Luxury Travel: A Sample Itinerary

Days 1 - 3

Your Chilean adventure begins in Santiago, where colonial architecture meets modern urban sophistication beneath the dramatic backdrop of the snow-capped Andes Mountains.

Your first day explores Plaza de Armas, the historic heart of Santiago since its founding by Pedro de Valdivia in 1541, featuring the Metropolitan Cathedral that has stood as the city's spiritual center through earthquakes and political upheavals. Day two ascends Cerro San Cristóbal, where a 1908 funicular railway carries visitors to panoramic city views, followed by café culture in Bellavista, the bohemian neighborhood that became Pablo Neruda's Santiago residence. Your third day ventures to Valparaíso, the UNESCO World Heritage port city famous for its colorful hillside houses and street art culture that emerged after the city's decline following the Panama Canal's opening in 1914, when artists transformed abandoned buildings into vibrant murals.

Days 4 - 7

The middle portion of your journey balances coastal relaxation with cultural exploration and wine country discoveries in valleys that produce some of the world's finest vintages.

Your fourth day explores Viña del Mar, Chile's elegant seaside resort since the 1870s, where beaches meet manicured gardens that earned it the nickname "Garden City." Day five returns to Santiago for the Museo de la Memoria, documenting Chile's military dictatorship period from 1973-1990, followed by the trendy Lastarria district where colonial architecture houses contemporary galleries and restaurants. The sixth day tours the Maipo Valley, Chile's oldest wine region where Spanish conquistadors first planted vines in the 1540s, now producing world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère. Your seventh day travels to Casablanca Valley, a cool-climate wine region established in the 1980s that revolutionized Chilean white wine production, particularly Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay that rival the world's best.

Days 8 - 12

Your final days venture into the Andes foothills and thermal springs, where mountain adventures and natural hot springs provide the perfect conclusion to your Chilean experience.

Day eight drives to the Andes foothills and Farellones village, a ski resort that transforms into a summer mountain retreat offering spectacular views of Santiago valley spread below. Your ninth day features hiking in Cajón del Maipo, a dramatic Andean canyon where the Maipo River has carved spectacular gorges through volcanic rock, popular with Santiago residents seeking mountain escape since the early 1900s. The tenth day visits Baños Colina thermal baths, natural hot springs at 3,000 meters elevation where geothermal activity creates therapeutic pools amid stunning Andean scenery. Day eleven returns to Santiago for shopping and market exploration, experiencing Chile's contemporary culture and artisan traditions that blend indigenous Mapuche heritage with European influences. Your twelfth and final day concludes with a farewell dinner and rooftop views, celebrating your journey through a country that stretches from desert to glacier while maintaining distinctive cultural identity shaped by geography and history.
