Tour Itinerary
DAYS 1-2:
Depart on your overnight flight bound for Chile's capital, surrounded by a ring of spectacular mountain peaks. Arrive in Santiago and transfer to your hotel before a city tour that includes a visit to the Interactive Museum Mirador, designed especially for children. This hands-on wonder world has more than 300 exhibits, and children can participate in workshops on robotics, paleontology and computer animation.
DAY 3:
Enjoy a taste of Santiago today. This is a unique culinary experience that offers the chance to see the nation's capital from a different perspective. Accompanied by your guide, meet your chef in a local market where together you shop for fresh produce and ingredients. Then join your chef to help prepare today's lunch; children have the opportunity to learn to make homemade bread. This afternoon, board a train to Chillán.
DAYS 4-5:
You have two full days to enjoy charming Chillán, an outdoor paradise. Go on a hike or soak in the hot springs. The nearby mountains provide a plethora of seasonal activities, including excellent skiing, dog sledding or snowmobiling, or the whole family may decide to gather for a friendly game of golf. In town, an open-air market sprawls across several city blocks and offers a range of local foods and crafts, as well as a great place to browse and take in the local life.
DAY 6:
For a complete change of climate, fly to Calama in the heart of the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world, with an annual rainfall of less than three inches. At your desert lodge, a welcoming oasis in this barren land, you can schedule a massage, swim in the outdoor pool or go horseback riding.
DAYS 7-8:
Spend two days discovering Atacama's natural environment or the sites of pre-Columbian, colonial and contemporary cultures. The Atacama area has the clearest sky in the Southern hemisphere. Join a professional astronomer to look at the constellations, or you may choose to take a sandboard class at the largest dune in Atacama's Death Valley.
DAY 9:
Your day is at leisure to enjoy your lodge's facilities, or continue your exploration of the Atacama.
DAY 10:
Return to Santiago to connect with your overnight flight home.
