Take a private tour of Santiago and visit the colonial and modern highlights, including the Plaza de Armas and the La Moneda Presidential Palace. You’ll also spend time in the Central Market, an enormous, active marketplace, and head to the top of San Cristobal Hill for views of the entire city. After your tour, spend the rest of the day exploring on your own and trying out the city’s restaurants – we’ll provide a list of our top recommendations!
There are plenty of things to see and do in the Santiago area. If you prefer to get out of the city, we can arrange private day tours or overnight trips to the coast to visit the colorful port city of Valparaiso, or Pablo Neruda’s house at Isla Negra, or down to the wine country.

The hotel is located inside Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park, on the banks of the Salto Chico waterfall.

Surrounded by spectacular rivers and lakes, the property offers an intimate atmosphere and access to a magnificent yet virtually unexplored area. The lodge is part of a self-sustainable project, built with stones from local quarries, recycled wood, and copper for the roofs. The hotel is reached via a 45-minute private flight between the Balmaceda Airport and the Patagonia National Park.

Tierra Patagonia - Can't say enough about this place! Comfort, food, wait staff, spa, guides - everything was top notch.
Patricia & John Kendzierski
We loved our trip. Everything was perfectly planned out, all the transfers worked like a charm, and on time. I would not have been able to have a trip like this if I had planned it myself.
