Discover the natural wonders of Patagonia on your Chilean vacation.
Patagonia is a region at the southern end of the South American continent that is shared by Argentina and Chile. It encompasses parts of the Andes mountain range, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Tierra del Fuego peninsula. It's defined by its dramatic landscapes, unpredictable weather, and striking isolation. Popular with hikers, Patagonia is one of the world's leading adventure travel destinations.
While human habitation has existed in the region for thousands of years, it is believed that the first European contact occurred in 1520 with Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Others followed to explore the area including Charles Darwin, who spent a great deal of time studying Patagonia. By the middle of the 19th century, both Argentina and Chile began to expand south encouraging European settlers. The 20th century witnessed tourism becoming central to the region’s economy initially attracting backpackers and then cruise passengers en route to Antarctica as well as adventure sports enthusiasts.

Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, offers a profound spiritual connection to nature and culture. The night skies, volcanic landscapes, and iconic Moai statues make it one of the most isolated and romantic places on earth.
