Chile is a land of extraordinary beauty and contrast, snaking from the driest desert on Earth to vast frozen glaciers in the south, via volcanoes, snow-capped peaks, vivid lakes and vineyards.
This tour shows you the best of this country, from the chic capital of Santiago with its snow-capped backdrop and excellent vineyards; to the lovely adobe town of San Pedro in the Atacama desert, the driest in the world; down to beautiful Puerto Varas in the lake district, where vivid blue lakes reflect smoking volcanoes and snow-capped mountains; to end in the glacial wonderland of Torres del Paine.
This tour explores the country's healthcare alongside its landscapes: a community hospital in Santiago, a health clinic in the Atacama, and further clinical visits en route to Patagonia.
There is an optional post-tour extension to Easter Island. This tour has broad appeal and partners are very welcome.

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, well over a thousand miles from the nearest inhabited land, Easter Island - or Rapa Nui - is shrouded in myth and legend, made more intriguing by the colossal moai statues that are scattered across the island. Explore the most fascinating locations on the island, with time to relax. There is the option to extend your trip for four nights in Easter Island to explore the history, moais and magnificent views of Rapa Nui, including its most beautiful volcanoes. Take part in an archaeological journey, visiting some of the most remarkable sites linked to the moais of the island, and learn the history of the island over four days of visits and talks. Finish with a visit to beautiful Anakena Beach with its palm trees, white sand and turquoise waters.
Some walking between destinations, more time spent standing, and increased travel distances. Requires a reasonable level of fitness.
