Itinerary:
Day 1: Santiago
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Chile. Your adventure begins in Santiago – with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, this is the perfect gateway to Chile’s varied landscapes, whether you’re headed for snow, sea or desert. You’ll be collected from the airport and transferred to your hotel for a free evening to explore at your own pace. Santiago’s centre is compact, with Plaza de Armas at its heart. For a quieter side of city life, head to Barrio Bellavista, Santiago’s ‘Paris Quarter’ and ride the cable car up Cerro San Cristobal. On a clear day, you’ll enjoy stunning views over the city and the Andes.
Accommodation:
Day 2: Santiago
This morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel for a city tour that combines walking and driving. Learn about the history of Santiago, founded in 1541 by the Spaniard Pedro de Valdivia and originally settled by the Picunche Indigenous people. The city has a turbulent history, marked by native wars, floods and earthquakes. You’ll visit Plaza de Armas, home to the Royal Court Palace, the Natural History Museum and Central Post Office. Stroll through the streets and neighbourhoods around the Government Palace, then head to Cerro Santa Lucia – the hill where de Valdivia established the settlement. Today, it’s a park with fountains and a fort, offering one of the best views of the city. After, return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day as you wish. Maybe dine at one of the city’s famous restaurants, where you can try ceviche (seafood dish) or pastel de choclo (meat corn casserole). Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation:
Day 3: Casablanca Valley - Valparaiso - Santiago
This morning, travel west towards Valparaiso, passing through the Casablanca Valley, known for its exceptional wines. Here, you’ll visit a world-class winery to learn about Chilean wine production and enjoy a tasting of its signature wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Continue to Valparaiso – a port city where residents have creatively built colourful homes on every patch of land. Known for its street art, the historic quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can explore art galleries, cafes and local breweries. If you want a good view of it all, hop in the funicular railway. Later, you’ll head back to Santiago for a free evening. Meals: Breakfast

- 1. This Short Break Adventure is a ‘join in’ group departure, which means you are not accompanied by an Intrepid group leader – our local representative fills this role – and the configuration of any fellow travellers in the group might change during the trip. 2. This trip will run with a minimum of one person, so you may be joined by other travellers booked on the same date as you, or you may be on your own. 3. This trip is operated by one of our local partners in Chile and therefore you may be joined by a mixture of Intrepid-booked passengers and other travellers during activities. Information may be delivered in English and Spanish, or just English depending on the requirements of the group.
