Welcome to Chile Vina del Mar - Easter Island

Chile has a coastline of over 3,000 miles, but at its widest is just under 200 miles. Santiago is the capital, located in the fertile central valleys bounded on the west by a coastal range of mountains and on the east by the mighty Andes Mountains, forming the frontier between Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. It is in these valleys that some of the finest wines of the Americas are produced. The Aquitania, Maipo, Cachapoal, Casablanca, Colchagua and San Fernando Valleys (just to name a few!) boast outstanding wines, each with unique characteristics created by the different microclimates. The quaint seaside resort of Vina del Mar and the intriguing Pacific port of Valparaiso are a scenic two-hour drive west of Santiago. Mysterious Easter Island lies alone out in the Pacific. The northern half of Chile is the Atacama Desert, home to rich mineral wealth as well as ancient pre-Colombian civilizations, whose relics are well-preserved in the world's driest desert. The beauty of the lush forests and pristine lakes of southern Chile, known as the Chilean Lakes Region, lure travelers from all over the world. The massive glaciers and rugged peaks of the Towers of Paine in the southernmost latitudes of the Patagonia rival the Rockies and Alaska for scenery.

Vina del Mar

2 Days/1 Night

Day One: Valparaiso and Vina del Mar First stop on this two-day tour to Chile's Pacific coast is to the principal and oldest seaport, Valparaiso. Steep cog railways curve between the old houses that cling to the hillsides; the classic architecture of the nearby historic Naval Station maintains a sense of tradition in this modern port. Lunch stop (lunch is not included) at a local restaurant before driving to Vina del Mar, beach resort and the Chileans' favorite playground. Turn-of-the-century architecture faces palm-lined thoroughfares and mingles with the modern high-rises; trendy shops offer an array of elegant wares. While there, leave modern transportation behind and hire a horse-drawn Victoria (right). Overnight in selected hotel.
Day Two: Day at leisure to enjoy Vina del Mar before your return transfer to Santiago. (B) NOTE: Transfer to Santiago Airport will have an additional surcharge.
