Chile, a land of extremes and otherworldly beauty, is a dream destination for adventurers, stargazers, and road trippers alike. Start your journey in the Atacama Desert, where the surreal landscapes of Valle de la Luna will leave you speechless and the night skies will make you feel like you’re floating through the cosmos. Take a horseback ride through wind-swept canyons, float effortlessly in the turquoise salt pools of Laguna Baltinache, and then make your way south to the buzzing capital of Santiago for a dose of urban culture and Chilean cuisine.

From there, head to the rugged wilds of Patagonia, where a road trip will lead you through jaw-dropping fjords, icy peaks, and wide open pampas. Visit a traditional estancia to saddle up for a ride with gauchos and warm up after with a feast of freshly caught king crab—possibly the best seafood you’ll ever taste. Whether you’re galloping across desert dunes or soaking in mountain views at the end of the world, Chile is pure magic waiting to be explored.
