14 Days in Chile & Argentina, incl. Santiago and Buenos Aires
A grand 14-day route connects 7 cities across Chile and Argentina. The path leads from Santiago's Cerro Santa Lucía, through Patagonia via Cruce Andino passing Petrohué Falls, along Bariloche's Circuito Chico, through Buenos Aires' La Ventana, and ends at Iguazu's 275 cascades.
- Days 1-3
Santiago and Coast
Start in Chile's capital with the Andes as your backdrop. Hit Santiago's sights early to avoid the heavy traffic. Visit Cerro Santa Lucía first - you'll get the best city skyline photos in the morning light. Take a day trip to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar (90 minutes away). A recent visitor shared: "The colorful houses cascading down the hills in Valparaíso are incredible, but wear sturdy shoes - the cobblestone streets are steeper than they look."
- Days 4-5
Puerto Varas
Fly to Puerto Montt in the morning and travel 30 minutes to Puerto Varas. The town offers perfect views of Osorno Volcano across Lake Llanquihue. Spend time exploring the German architecture or take a trip to Chiloé Island. Pack a rain jacket since the Lake District weather changes quickly.
- Day 6
Andean Crossing
Cross the Andes by boat and bus. Start early - first boat departs Petrohué at 8:30 AM. Plan for a 1-2 hour border crossing and bring snacks. You'll see stunning views of Osorno and Tronador volcanoes along the way.
- Days 7-8
Bariloche
Take the Circuito Chico tour in the morning for fantastic views. Skip the busy Cerro Otto and head to Cerro Campanario instead. The views are better and lines shorter. Spend your free day sampling local chocolate or hiking around Llao Llao peninsula.
- Days 9-11
Buenos Aires
Explore the city's unique neighborhoods after your flight. Plan for the San Telmo antique market on Sunday if you can. Book the 10:30 PM tango show when more locals attend. A visitor noted: "La Ventana's tango show was magnificent, but don't fill up on dinner - the best steakhouses are actually outside the tourist venues."
- Days 12-14
Iguazu Falls
Get an early flight to maximize your time. Visit the Argentine side first. It needs more walking but gets you closest to the falls. The Brazilian side works well for your last day with its sweeping views and easier trails. Bring waterproof protection for your camera at Devil's Throat.
13 Day Argentina, Bolivia & Chile Itinerary, incl. Buenos Aires and Santiago
A 13-day Argentina-Chile expedition links 9 cities across 3 countries. Traditional music fills the air in Salta, wine flows in Cafayate, while UNESCO-listed Humahuaca Gorge, Uyuni's salt flats, and the Atacama Desert's geothermal wonders lead to Santiago's historic center.
- Days 1-2
Buenos Aires & Salta
Start exploring the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires before catching a flight to Salta in northwest Argentina. Take the cable car up San Bernardo Hill to get a bird's eye view of the city. Book your flight for the morning to make the most of your time in Salta. In the evening, visit a traditional peña where you can enjoy local folk music while trying regional specialties like locro soup and empanadas.
- Day 3
Cafayate Wine Region
Take an early morning drive through the stunning Quebrada de las Conchas gorge. The round trip takes about 7 hours, with plenty of stops to photograph the red rock formations. Visit two small wineries in Cafayate to sample the local Torrontés white wine. Pack some extra layers since mountain temperatures can change quickly throughout the day.
- Days 4-5
Purmamarca & Humahuaca
Stay in the small village of Purmamarca, right next to the Seven-Colored Hill. Take a morning walk on the 2-mile Paseo de los Colorados trail to see the colorful mountains in the best light. Visit the vast Salinas Grandes salt flats at 13,943 feet, but take your time adjusting to the altitude. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Humahuaca Gorge, including stops at ancient ruins and traditional villages like Tilcara and Uquia.
- Days 6-8
Bolivia's Tupiza & Salt Flats
Cross into Bolivia where you'll switch to 4WD vehicles for the rough terrain ahead. Check out Tupiza's rugged landscapes before heading to Uyuni. Spend two full days exploring the incredible Salar de Uyuni salt flats. Visit the giant cacti on Incahuasi Island and spend the night in a unique salt hotel near Laguna Hedionda. Pack warm clothes for the cold nights at 13,940 feet.
- Days 9-11
Atacama Desert
Drive past stunning red and green lagoons full of flamingos on your way to San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. Wake up early to see El Tatio geysers at sunrise and visit Moon Valley at sunset for its unique landscapes. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The early morning chill at El Tatio was worth it - seeing dozens of geysers erupt at sunrise was magical. Just remember gloves and a warm hat!"
- Days 12-13
Santiago
Fly to Santiago for a city tour including La Moneda palace and Plaza de Armas. Choose an afternoon flight from Calama so you can enjoy a relaxed morning in San Pedro. The tour wraps up after breakfast on Day 13.
