  • Days 1-2

    Santiago

    Begin in Chile's capital and take time to adjust to the altitude at 1,700 ft. Visit Plaza de Armas early, when street performers start around 10 AM.

Get a BIP card from any station for easy travel.

    Colchagua Valley

    Head 2.5 hours south to Chile's wine country. Stay in Santa Cruz and hire a driver for wine tours since local police strictly enforce drinking and driving laws. Visit Cousiño Macul in the morning when it's cooler and less busy. Make tasting reservations at least 2 days ahead if visiting from December to February.

    
  • Day 5

    Chillán

    Stop for a night to break up your southern journey. Visit the Feria Artesanal between 9-11 AM when vendors are setting up and more open to price negotiations. Bring cash as most vendors don't take cards.

    
  • Days 6-8

    Pucón & Lake District

    Drive 4.5 hours south to Pucón for outdoor adventures. Book Villarrica Volcano hikes through your hotel to ensure proper safety equipment. The hike takes 6-8 hours round trip and includes crampons. Pack warm layers since mornings can be near freezing even in summer.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Huilo Huilo Reserve

    Explore this beautiful rainforest reserve with unique lodging options. Wear shoes with good grip for the canopy walks which get slippery after rain. Sign up for activities when you arrive since popular options like horseback riding fill up quickly.

    Puerto Varas

    Experience the Lake District's German influence in your final stop. A recent visitor shared: "The lakeside path in Puerto Varas offers the best volcano views between 4-6 PM when the light hits Osorno perfectly. Get küchen from Café Danhke but go early as they sell out by afternoon."

    Puerto Montt

    Drive 30 minutes to the airport. Leave extra time if traveling during morning rush hour from 7:30-9 AM.
