Isles, Fjords & Peaks of Patagonia

Day

1 – 2

After visiting a historic winery in Santiago, we fly to Chiloé Island, an enigmatically alluring place with sheep-covered hillsides, windswept dunes, temperate forests, and wetlands and waterways teeming with wildlife.

Day

3 – 4

Explore Chiloé’s fishing villages and ecosystems, gliding by private boat charter among stilt-perched homes, mingling with residents, and meandering through peat-filled rain forest, listening for pygmy blue whales.

Day

5

A scenic drive takes us to Puerto Montt before flying to Punta Arenas, whose historic square offers insight into the largest settlement in the Straights of Magellan.

Day

6

Some 63,000 breeding pairs of penguins reside on Magdalena Island: we commune with the endearing creatures before continuing by road to Torres del Paine National Park.

Day

7 – 8

Enjoy relaxed outings and reflective walks in Torres del Paine, marveling at majestic massifs, sparkling lakes, twisted Magellanic trees, living glaciers, and wildlife, such as guanacos, foxes, and deer.

Day

9

Return to Santiago by road and air to catch flights home or embark on additional explorations: GeoEx is happy to arrange time in Chile's Wine Country, Atacama Desert, Easter Island, or elsewhere.
