Tour Overview
From Santiago you fly north to the mysterious Atacama Desert - a vast area of arid mountains, volcanoes and salt flats. Explore the evocative Valley of the Moon and take the option to see the unusual Tatio Geysers. Travelling south you reach the contrasting verdant Lake District where snow-capped volcanoes fringe beautiful lakes. Enjoy great hiking and take a choice of optional activities from rafting to volcano climbs.
