Nearly all trips to Chile pass through Santiago, as besides having the major international airport in Chile, it's right in the middle of this impossibly long, narrow country. One can take a simple half-day Santiago city tour, or head to the outskirts of the city to wine and river country where you can go wine tasting at world-famous vineyards like Concha y Toro, ride horses or go hiking in El Morado National Park, relax in hot springs, and even ride the rapids on a rafting trip down the Maipo River. Don't miss the quaint seaside cities of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, on a short day trip from Santiago. Make the best of your time in Chile and spend a couple of extra days around the capital. Contact one of our Chile travel specialists for help planning your dream trip.

Santiago, Gateway to Chile

Santiago, Chile is the starting point for the vast majority of tours to Chile, as it is home to Santiago International Airport, also known as Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, located 15 km north-west of downtown Santiago. 

From Santiago, fly far south to Punta Arenas, Chile in order to access Patagonia, Torres del Paine and even Antarctica on an Antarctic Fly/Cruise.

Fly north to San Pedro de Atacama to access the famed Atacama desert. 

Venture south of Santiago on bus or a short flight to the Lake District where towering Andes mountains and whitewater adventures abound.

Or fly to Easter Island, one of the world's most remote and mysterious islands far in the South Pacific. 
Guanaco in Torres del Paine
