Chile Holidays

It might be skinny looking, but Chile stretches for 4300km from the world’s most arid desert to the gigantic fields of glaciers. In between that you will find the most amazing beaches, volcanoes, rivers, lakes and islands. The only problem you may encounter is deciding which of the many sights you will be able to fit into an itinerary on your holiday. Consider Chile holidays for unforgettable time of life.

Set between the Pacific Ocean and Andes peaks, Chile is not just about its breath taking backdrops; it has loads of flair and character to offer. The bustling multiethnic capital, Santiago, is overlooked by the mountains and is home to exquisite properties and the stunning gardens boast a variety of bars, galleries, shops and restaurants. Travel south of the city to Maipo Valley and you can enjoy some of the finest wines in the world.

In southern Patagonia lies the country’s most famous national park, Torres del Paine which has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The park’s mountain range makes for supreme scenery. Also in the area is the Chilean Lake District that boasts the bluest lakes and rivers.

In contrast, the north of the country houses supposedly the world’s driest desert, Atacama Desert which boasts salt lakes, boiling geysers and unbelievable landscapes. The enigmatic stone figures of Chile’s Easter Island, lying in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, make for an all-round awe-inspiring holiday experience.

Easter Island has been described as one of the Earth’s most isolated locations and it remains a mystery to people. Many tourists like to take a bike ride around the island and doing so is very easy. Only one airline flies to the island from either Santiago or Peru.

A trip would not be completed without savoring the well-loved foods and wines and spending some time mingling with the vibrant inhabitants. The city offers energetic nightlife and a not to be missed market right in its center.

A 2 hour drive out of the city will get you to Alfonso Del Mar Resort, Algarrobo the location of the world’s largest pool.On your travels, be sure to take in the unique wildlife like guanacos and armadillos.

Between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales lie the glacier-studded fjords and lakes of the country. The best way to take in such scenery is to take a cruise along the west coast. This is also an opportunity to spot the array of water wildlife such as penguins and sea lions. The bird watching is unsurpassed.

Patagonia is not to be missed. The snow-capped mountains are found where the Andes majestically hang over the border of Argentina and Chile. Just 1 hour from each other on Chile’s coast, you will find the cities of Vine Del Mar and Valparaiso.

The latter is a somewhat arty town with streets lined with amazing artwork and portraits and the Pablo Neruda museum is an absolute must see. Vine Del Mar is where you will find the flower clock and a beautiful beach.

The best time to visit the bustling metropolis is between October – April as the weather is fairly moderate then. The northern Atacama region tends to have a constant climate but will be bit hotter in the summer months which run from December – March.

This is a great time to visit the Lake District, as it rains less. The months between November – March are the best for visiting Patagonia as it is much colder than any other month with high snowfalls.The official language of the colorful nation is Spanish and there are a few other native tongues spoken. The currency is Peso ($).
A holiday to Chile is a great choice. Our Chile Holidays will definitely etch themselves on your memory.
