A land of spectacular vistas, awe-inspiring glaciers, crystalline turquoise lakes, wide-open spaces and crisp clean South American air.
Jump into the diverse landscapes of Patagonia and the innovative capital city during a summer trip to Chile. You’ll feel the bustling energy of Santiago, sense the relaxed ambiance of Chilean seaside towns, as you wander through the rugged terrain of Patagonia on this most sought-after of summer travel destinations. From soaring mountains with razor-sharp peaks to a panoply of rare wildlife, Patagonia stuns with its trove of natural wonders. Go where few have ventured with special access to places like the wind-bent forests and wetlands of Karukinka Natural Park and Argentina’s Staten Island, home to magellanic penguins and fur seals.
The capital cities Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, both serve as gateways to Patagonia. Americans do not need a visa or to pay a reciprocity fee to enter either country. Which side to start on is a matter of personal preference. However, if you plan to visit both countries, you can start in one city and finish in the other, so you have the opportunity to experience both.
