The 15 Best Tours in Chile

172 reviewed

Chile runs 4,300 km from the driest desert on earth to the Patagonian ice, so the honest answer to “what should I book” depends on which end you are standing at. These 15 beat everything else on the site right now, from the geyser field above San Pedro to the Base of the Towers hike, with what each costs, how long the day runs and why it earned the place. The full catalogue sits underneath if none of them fits your trip.

“Great tour. The guide (Leandro) and the driver (Marcelo) were attentive and very professional, the locations are beautiful and the lunch point was a great choice. My only deception was the "wine and olive products tasting" (I expected it to be at a winery/winemaker site), which was in fact a stop at a shopping area for breakfast and bathroom (first stop of the tour); the operator should exclude the misleading advertisement...”
