Trekking holidays in Chile
Chile offers a variety of amazing hiking tours, from Patagonia’s Torres del Paine National Park to the Atacama desert.
Chile is South America’s ‘spine’ and home to dramatic mountain formations and excellent trekking holidays.
Paine National Park offers great walking, with the Paine W, the Paine Circuit and more valleys to discover.
Northern Patagonia’s mountains spike out of verdant valleys, painting dramatic canvasses to enjoy while walking.
Chile’s Lake District is full of beautiful day walks, including the iconic, snow-capped Osorno volcano.
In the north, Atacama has clear skies and unbeatable rock formations in the world’s driest environment.
Our guide, Jay, was brilliant. He couldn't have done more for us, sorting out a few things in the hotel as well as making sure we didn't have to worry about anything other than putting one foot in front of the other.
He also made the worlds best sandwiches!
