    You Should Know

You'll have various experiences from sipping wine from a terrace overlooking the countryside or touring around the farms to see the wine production process.

  • Climb to the top of San Cristobal Hill for the best viewpoint overlooking Santiago
    Climb to the top of San Cristobal Hill for the best viewpoint overlooking Santiago

    The best view of Santiago is from the summit of San Cristobal Hill, the second-highest point in the city. San Cristobal Hill rises over 850 meters above the city providing sweeping views of Santiago and the Andes Mountains. San Cristobal Hill encompasses most of the Santiago Metropolitan Park, the city's largest urban park – it measures more than twice the size of New York's Central Park! In addition to the views, one of the most notable features of the hill is the giant Virgin Mary statue at the peak.  

    You Should Know

    San Cristobal Hill is a great place to enjoy the views and has a lot of attractions you won't want to miss. Some of the features include an amphitheater, chapel, Chilean National Zoo, and a wine museum. Visitors can reach the summit via two methods: walking up the hill or taking the cable car. Be sure to check the operation times for the cable car; otherwise, you'll have to descend the hill another way.

  • Trek the vast Atacama Salt Flats to see unique rock formations
    Trek the vast Atacama Salt Flats to see unique rock formations

    Chile's largest desert is unique compared to what you typically think of as desert terrain. The Atacama Salt Flats, or Salar de Atacama, are naturally formed salt plains covering approximately 3,000 square kilometers. It's the third-largest salt flat in the world and a scenic place to visit for tourists. Atacama Salt Flats is located 2,300 meters above sea level. Some of the natural sights include rock formations and lagunes, while some of the common animals to see are flamingos and vicunas.  

    You Should Know

    Atacama Salt Flats is an excellent photo opportunity. On one side, the Andes mountain range borders the flats; on the other end, volcanos line the flats. On clear days, you can see a perfect reflection of the sky in the salt.

  • Find your favorite piece of graffiti in the streets of Valparaiso
    Find your favorite piece of graffiti in the streets of Valparaiso

    Take a day trip from Santiago to see the incredible graffiti artwork decorating Valparaiso. Thanks to the local art scene, Valparaiso is a cultural hub and supported by the local government. Today, art lines every nook and cranny of the seaport town. Valparaiso is a hilly town made famous because of the art. The graffiti creates a colorful collage of world-class art to decorate everything from restaurants to office buildings to stairs and throughout the communities. Two of the most popular places to see art is Templeman Street and Bellavista, which hosts an open-air museum.  

    You Should Know

    There are several walking art tours available when you visit Valparaiso to see some of the city's most famous artworks. A tour isn't necessary as there is art everywhere you look.

  • Take a day trip to Viña del Mar to enjoy a day at the beach
    Take a day trip to Viña del Mar to enjoy a day at the beach

    Chile's extensive coastline has plenty of places to enjoy the beach, but a favorite for locals and tourists is Viña del Mar. Located near Santiago, Viña del Mar is the perfect beach getaway to have some fun in the ocean or explore some beachfront venues. Viña del Mar has several great beaches to choose between for finding the perfect one. Reñaca Beach is a top beach lined with cafes and bars. It's one of Chile's best-surfing spots with a clean beach for relaxing and watching the sunset. Cochoa Beach is another favorite that also has a lookout at the observation deck. Visitors can see views of the rocky coastline or spot sea lions and penguins.  

    Best Time To Visit

    Because of its proximity to Santiago, Viña del Mar is a popular summertime destination for locals looking for a quick beach vacation. The beaches can get crowded during the peak travel season, but there are many beach options to find space to relax. For example, Las Salinas Beach is one-mile long, so it's plenty of room to space out.

  • See the Serrano glacier up close when you ride on a Patagonia glacier cruise
    See the Serrano glacier up close when you ride on a Patagonia glacier cruise

    Glaciers are one of the unique formations in the Patagonia region, which make excellent destinations for adventurous travelers. Take a cruise from inside Torres del Paine National Park to see the Serrano glacier up close – it's the most-visited glacier in the park. Serrano glacier cruises are widely available to see multiple perspectives of the glacier as it continues to carve out its path in the landscape. Cruise through the Ultima Esperanza Sound to see the glacier from a water view; the cruises stop off for a short hike to see the glacier from land.  

    Best Time To Visit

    The best time to see the glacier is anytime except the winter. Although the cruises still operate, weather conditions prohibit tourists from hiking to the glacier, so you won't get the full experience.

Reviews for Chile Tours and Vacations

Farewell dinner at Pato Natales was not acceptable and below standard. The male waiter was not serving wine even after asking for it. He poured less than standard amount of wine and did not serve drinks till 45 mts. You can tell it was all about cost.

Rajendra P

The hotel in Lima was not up to the standard. On my return I paid extra 195 dollars to upgrade my hotel to Casa Andina premium. There I noticed that Globus had put their guests for Peru Incas tour in the same hotel where I had to pay extra. So was short-changed.

Debashish B

Box lunches need improvement. Am tired of poor room selection after 9 tours with Globus. Why don't they have benefits for travelers that have paid them a lot of money over the years like the cruise lines do. I tend to get lower floors, not near other travelers, near elevators and stairs and at end of halls. My air change was not provided to host in Rio and Iguassu Falls. The guide at Iguassu talked to the driver in Portuguese the whole time traveling to and from sites and airport. Did not provide much commentary on walk around the falls on either day. Gratuities were prepaid, not at my request, and I didn't discover until end of the trip.
