Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Fly To Santiago

    Fly to Chile's sophisticated capital Santiago, arriving the same day. Depending on your time of arrival the rest of the day is yours to enjoy the delights of Santiago before your welcome dinner this evening.

  2. 2

    Discover Valparaíso

    Travel 3 hours to the coast to visit the bohemian UNESCO port town of Valparaíso. Explore this colourful city where you will visit La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda's eclectic home, before heading to the serene Casablanca Valley. At Casas del Bosque Winery, enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour and sample award-winning wines. Go on to savour a gourmet lunch amidst stunning vineyard views, before returning to Santiago.

  3. 3

    San Pedro De Atacama

    Today you will fly to the northern city of Calama. From here you will drive to the desert oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama before enjoying a local lunch in Ayllu de Coyo. Discover some of San Pedro's famous landscapes on an exploration of the Moon Valley, one of the driest spots on the planet. With lonely volcanoes populating the horizon, enjoy the views and the silence as the afternoon sun turns the hues of the rock from orange to red to purple. This evening you'll be stargazing in Atacama – considered the best place in the world for viewing the night skies.

  4. 4

    Salar De Atacama

    This morning, you'll explore the Salar de Atacama, the driest non-polar desert on earth. You'll travel through barren mountains, passing visually striking salt lakes as you make your way towards Miscanti and Miñiques lagoons. These lagoons sit on the high plains at the base of their two namesake volcanoes. The water here is astonishingly blue, whilst the salt deposits that surround it stand in brilliant contrast.

  5. 5

    El Tatio Geysers

    Rise early to travel deeper into the Atacama to visit El Tatio. Set within a ring of volcanoes, there are about 80 lively geysers and fumaroles, which come to life at sunrise. This afternoon is at leisure to wander the quaint town of San Pedro.

  6. 6

    Puerto Varas

    Transfer back to Calama and fly south to Puerto Montt, the gateway to Chile's spectacular Lake District. Travel on to Puerto Varas, a charming town on Llanquihue Lake, overlooked by two snow-capped volcanoes.

  7. 7

    Osorno Volcano

    Travel further around Llanquihue Lake to the village of Ensenada at the foot of Osorno Volcano, where you'll take an easy hike on the volcano's verdant slopes to reach the Osorno Ski Mountain Centre at 1,240 metres. Travel through Perez Rosales National Park to Petrohué Falls, where you can stroll along the boardwalks to admire the turquoise waters and lush greenery of the Petrohué River.

  8. 8

    Travel to Puerto Natales

    Transfer to the airport and fly further south to Puerto Natales, the lively, picturesque town that is the gateway to the Torres del Paine.

  9. 9

    Glaciers Cruise

    Set sail on the gloomily named Ultima Esperanza (Last Hope) Fjord, a body of water that is set in a magnificent landscape. Cruise to the Mount Balmaceda Glacier, where as well as a tumbling wall of ice to admire, you'll spot cormorants and sea lions. Continue to the end of the fjord and take a short walk through native forest to the foot of the magnificent Serrano Glacier, part of the Southern Ice Field.

  10. 10

    Torres Del Paine National Park

    Patagonia is a spectacular destination in general, but the jewel in the crown is the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Torres del Paine National Park. Packed with waterfalls, lakes, glaciers and rugged peaks, the park's best-known view is of the jagged granite towers from which the park takes its name. Spend the day amongst this breathtaking example of resplendent nature, with visits to Salto Grande waterfall, Pehoe and Grey lakes, Milodón Cave and Grey Glacier.

  11. 11

    Santiago

    Today you will transfer back to the airport and fly to Santiago. Enjoy a farewell dinner with the group in a local restaurant.

  12. 12

    Fly Santiago To Australia

    Days 12–14

    Fly to Australia, arriving home two days later.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
