Tours to Chile
Chile
A ticket to Chile unlocks a land of extremes. Dynamic cities hum against the backdrop of world-class natural experiences. One minute you are exploring the buzzing streets of the capital with Santiago city tours, and the next you are crossing high-altitude passes while connecting with indigenous communities with Andean Mountain treks. If this unique contrast sounds like your kind of holiday, then look no further than Flight Centre’s range of Chile tour packages.
Keen to get away from it all and let mother nature take centre stage? Choose a tour that covers the Atacama Desert or Patagonia Torres del Paine. Will it be Atacama’s lunar-like landscapes and steaming geysers, or Patagonia’s towering granite peaks, turquoise lakes and sprawling glaciers? We also highly recommend packing a tent and looking up, ready to experience the clarity of Chile’s skies with Elqui Valley stargazing.
Those heading north can use it as a base to visit the Easter Island Moai statues, while anyone heading south can immerse themselves in the folklore and traditions of Chiloe Island.
In between, central Chile offers up colourful streets and bohemian charm with Valparaiso coastal visits. You can trek past crystal waters, lush forests and snow-capped volcanoes with Lake District hiking, or sit back, sip and savour the flavours of Chile’s wine country valleys. Vineyard tours with a side of exquisite wines? Sounds like our kinda holiday.

The best time to visit Chile and enjoy sunny days is from September to November and March to May. If you’re hoping to see Chile when it’s chilly, then head over for ski season between June and August.
If you’re heading over in the warmer months, opt for summer clothes and light layers. A hat, sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes are also a must. Hikers making the trek to Patagonia should check weather predictions to ensure you’ve packed appropriately, and anyone heading over during winter is best bringing warm, waterproof layers to avoid getting too chilly.
Tours typically range from one week to two weeks, giving you plenty of time to explore the picturesque national parks, feast on delicious local food amongst the city streets of Santiago and even head across to Easter Island.
