Get to know the many faces of the port city and stroll through the alleys of the UNESCO awarded hills of Alegre and Concepción. Furthermore, you get an impression of Chilean food culture during an entertaining cooking class.

Pichilemu combines remoteness with globality as a magnet for surfers from all over the world. Explore the inviting city center, stroll along the beach and watch the water enthusiasts and the play of colors of the sunset from here.  Or try riding the waves yourself and get to the bottom of the fascination of surfing, either individually or during a course. It is an experience that may leave its mark on you.

The Colchagua Valley in the heart of central Chile is home to prestigious wineries that produce renowned and award-winning wines, which are shipped from here to destinations all over the world.

Talca is located about 250 km south of Santiago and has a very pleasant country idyll. Experience the unspoilt mountain landscape near the Argentinean border and hike to the impressive Rainbow Falls. Moreover, you take the historic Buscarril Train along the beautiful Maule River through remote areas to Constitución on the Pacific Ocean. 

The chic Pucón is surrounded by dense Araucaria forests and picturesque waters. You get an impression of this masterpiece of nature on an inspiring excursion.

And on an optional ascent of the active Villarrica Volcano you can experience one of the most impressive natural spectacles of Chilean nature up close.

The history and culture of Valdivia is markedly influenced by German immigrants who settled here, especially in the mid-19th century. Walk through the streets of the attractive city center, visit museums and galleries, the fish market and the German brewery. Or explore the surroundings of Valdivia with its secluded beaches, pristine lakes and quaint Nature Reserves.

The city of Puerto Varas has its very own magic with its panorama of the beautiful Llanquihue Lake and the snow-covered volcanoes. Watch the endless rupture of the waterfalls of Petrohué. On the adjoining Lago Todos Los Santos, you take a pleasant boat trip. And you experience the island of Chiloé with its waterside houses on stilts, the typical wooden churches and the maritime gastronomy.

Back to central Chile, you stay in the capital. Chile's heart beats here in Santiago. You visit the historical center of Santiago with the lively Plaza de Armas and the famous Government Palace La Moneda.
