Chile, through the people you meet

This journey begins in the mildness of Santiago and the painted hills of Valparaíso, among street art, markets and workshops where you get to know the flavours of the Pacific. The vineyards of Casablanca open the first door: wine as the thread that ties together the soil, the climate, the hands that tend the vines and those that raise the glass.

Then comes the vastness. Atacama lifts your eyes to a sky that hides nothing, to old stories read in the stars, to the dust of lunar valleys, the frozen dawn of the geysers and the silence of remote lagoons.

Further south, the native forest and volcanoes of Araucanía take you in on more intimate terms: Andean lagoons, parks of black lava, Mapuche beliefs on the shore of Lake Budi. Each stage becomes an encounter, and day after day Chile stops being a backdrop and becomes a travelling companion, with an English-speaking guide at your side from the first day to the last.
