Tour overview

This 20-day holiday is designed for people travelling on their own, with a twin or double room of your own and no single supplement. Return flights from London, internal flights and a UK airport lounge are included, and a host travels with the group. You stay seventeen nights in 3- and 4-star hotels, with two nights in flight and 27 meals.

From Santiago you fly to San Pedro de Atacama for the Valley of the Moon, the flamingos of Chaxa Lagoon and the El Tatio geysers at sunrise, then head south to Puerto Varas and Chiloé Island in the Lake District.

In Patagonia you see the penguins of Magdalena Island, Torres del Paine and the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, and visit Valparaíso. You then fly out into the Pacific for three nights on Easter Island, visiting the Rano Kau volcano, the moai platforms and Anakena beach, before a cookery class in Santiago.

The physical rating is medium. This holiday suits solo travellers who want all of Chile, including the mystery of Easter Island.
