10-Day Chile Patagonia & Santiago Hiking Adventure

This 10-day journey takes you from the windswept tip of Chilean Patagonia to the vibrant streets of Santiago. Spend five immersive days exploring Torres del Paine National Park on foot, hiking past turquoise lakes, waterfalls, ancient forests, and the towering granite spires of the Paine Massif, with a boat excursion to see Magellanic penguins and a glacier navigation on Lake Grey along the way. From there, fly north to Santiago for a complete change of pace: a day trip to the colorful coastal city of Valparaíso and the Casablanca wine valley, followed by a half-day city tour through the capital's historic landmarks. It's a trip built for travelers who want big Patagonian landscapes balanced with culture, wine, and city life.

Highlights:

• Hike across the eastern and western sectors of Torres del Paine National Park, taking in turquoise lagoons, the Paine Massif, and panoramic Patagonian steppe over several days of guided trekking.

• Cruise the Strait of Magellan to Magdalena Island to see Magellanic penguins in their natural colony.

• Navigate Lake Grey by boat, drifting past floating icebergs with Grey Glacier rising in the background.

• Explore Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage coastal city, followed by a wine tasting and lunch in the Casablanca Valley.

• Discover Santiago's landmarks on a guided city tour, from Plaza de Armas and La Moneda Palace to San Cristóbal Hill.
