Trip Itinerary
1
Santiago
Day 1-3
Santiago is the capital, nestled in imposing mountainous country. You can visit museums, markets but also the buildings such as theaters and churches. There is also a viewing platform, which should give a great view over the city!

Valparaíso
Day 3-4
Valparaiso is a coastal city, not far from Santiago, and stands out for its colorful houses and narrow streets.
3
San Pedro de Atacama
Day 4-8
Here lies the driest desert in the world. My plan, a 4-day tour to visit the Valley de la luna (Moon Valley), the El Tatio Geysers, the Miscanti Laguna and the Flamingo Lake.
4
Villarrica
Day 8-11
Villarica is a volcanic region with breathtaking scenery of raging rivers, lakes and volcanoes. The plan is to visit the Termas Geometricas there (see picture). This is an architect-designed spa made of natural thermal springs in the middle of a gorge. Furthermore, a short detour is planned in Villarica, the volcanic town, and at the Ojos de Caburgo, a beautiful turquoise river landscape with small waterfalls.

Puerto Varas
Day 11-13
Puerto Varas is a city with 41,255 inhabitants in southern Chile in the Región de los Lagos. It is located about 20 kilometers north of Puerto Montt. Puerto Varas is located on the southern shore of Lake Llanquihue. With about 860 square kilometers it is the second largest lake in Chile. Near here we find the famous Petrohue waterfalls and the foot of the Osorno volcano.

Balmaceda
Day 13-15
Near here is Queulat National Park, one of Chile's most famous national parks because of its hanging glacier (see picture). The park is bordered on the south side by the Cisnes River and borders the Lago Rosselot National Reserve. It includes 1,541 km² of glacier-covered mountains and pristine evergreen forests.

Villa Cerro Castillo
Day 15-17
A fairly unknown national park compared to other national parks, with a 5-hour hike to the top of Cerro Castillo with an azure lagoon. There are many hiking opportunities in the Cerro Castillo National Reserve. One can ascend to the viewpoint at the impressive Cerro Castillo mountain in a day hike.

Puerto Río Tranquilo
Day 17-21
Boat ride on Lago Carrera to the Marble Caves - Beautiful, extraordinary cave system formed by the erosion of the limestone coast by water. & Visit to the San Rafael ice lagoon (picture).

It calves into Laguna San Rafael and is included in Laguna San Rafael National Park.
