Discover Chile's fantastic nature and endearing culture off the beaten track on a round trip in 4 weeks by rental car. You visit the vibrant capital Santiago with its many faces, historical places and great city panoramas. You then fly south and pick up your rental car in Coyhaique. The legendary Carretera Austral in northern Patagonia is flanked by ancient forests, winding fjords, and slumbering volcanoes. You pause in awe before the massive hanging glacier Ventisquero Colgante in Queulat National Park. With its warm thermal springs and traces of German heritage, Puyuhuapi quickly casts its spell. Chaitén stands as a symbol of the raw beauty and drama of Chile’s ever-shifting natural world. Marvel at picturesque lakes around Puerto Varas and the wooden churches on the island of Chiloé. In the crystal-clear waters of the glacial lakes near Panguipulli, the snow-covered Andean peaks of the “Chilean Switzerland” are mirrored. In the region of Concepción, academic flair merges with a tranquil coastline and quiet fishing villages. The countryside surrounding Talca enchants with vast vineyards and excellent hiking trails through unspoiled nature. In the port city of Valparaíso, colorful hills, rickety funiculars, and outstanding street art await. The area near La Serena is known for traditional pisco culture, coastal wildlife like dolphins and penguins, and breathtaking views into the star-filled sky. Finally, let yourself be captivated by the contrast of dreamlike bays set amid the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert near Caldera.

At the latitude of Valdivia and not far from the Argentine border, the fairytale world of the Seven Lakes near Panguipulli unfolds. Small villages dot the shores of crystal-clear waters, narrow hiking trails wind through tangled forests, and the architecture of some lodges within the Huilo Huilo nature reserve seems almost utopian. Hike through Valdivian rainforest, listen to the roar of the Huilo Huilo and La Leona waterfalls, and treat yourself to a refreshing dip in one of the glacial lakes.
Chile stretches over 4,200 kilometers from north to south — and Concepción marks the geographic center of the mainland. Take a deep breath on the coast of this diverse region. The nearby port town of Tomé combines pleasant beaches with a rich heritage as a former hub of the textile and fishing industries. Along the wide seafront promenade of Dichato, soft sand and numerous restaurants offering local seafood specialties invite you to linger. And on the peninsula of the charming village Coliumo, scenic coastal walks, a hike to the lighthouse, and stunning cliffside views await.
