The Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on earth. Despite the lack of rain, you will discover a surprising array of wildlife thriving against all the odds. Flamingo-filled sulphurous lakes mirror the peaks of perfectly formed volcanoes, and algae of extraordinary hues line the geyser fields that shoot jets of water thousands of feet in the air from the boiling core of the earth. When the sun disappears, the star-lit sky is utterly mesmerising. With little light pollution to contend with, the Atacama is one of the best places on earth for gazing into the night sky. Discover the stars alongside an astronomer or from the comfort and silence of your private terrace.

Lying on a deck chair and watching the perfectly formed Licancabur Volcano turning all shades of pink, red and gold as the sun begins its descent will be an unforgettable memory.
In our opinion, it is worth spending a full day in Santiago de Chile. While this capital city may lack the glamour of Rio or the grit of Buenos Aires, there are some fantastic restaurants and museums, and it is a city easy to explore at your own pace.
From the deep cobalt lakes in the north of Patagonia to the icy fjords and glaciers in the south, few first-time visitors to Chile come without exploring the natural beauty of this region. Dramatic mountain peaks in the Torres del Paine National Park are perfect for hiking and walking, with never-ending lofty views and landscapes that defy the imagination.
This pinprick of an island dropped into the Pacific Ocean 2300 miles from mainland Chile is a stepping stone away from Tahiti and Bora Bora. Easter Island (or Rapa Nui) is frozen in a world of its own.
The largest island on the Chiloe Archipelago, Chiloe is a beautiful wilderness of forests, wetlands and rolling foothills that lead to craggy mountains. Separated from the mainland by the Chacao Strait, this timeless island is a haven for wildlife and pre-Columbian culture left mostly untouched by the draw of tourism.
