Air Canada Vacations is adding to its South American offerings with guided tours in Chile. Seven curated options in three tour categories will give travellers the opportunity to explore a blend of cultural exploration, stunning landscapes and rich history.
"We’re thrilled to introduce these new tours to Chile, offering Canadians an incredible opportunity to explore one of South America’s most breathtaking and diverse destinations," said Nino Montagnese, Vice President of Air Canada Vacations. "It has always been our mission at Air Canada Vacations to inspire travellers to dream bigger and see the world — and Chile is just the beginning of that next great adventure!"
According to the announcement, highlights include the surreal Atacama Desert, the serene Altiplanic Lagoons and the Moai statues on Easter Island (Rapa Nui).
The three tour categories are:
Chile in All Its Glory Tours (8 days, 6 nights): A mix of cultural exploration and natural wonders. Visit Santiago’s vibrant city life, the Atacama Desert’s Moon and Mars Valleys, Rainbow Valley, and Altiplanic Lagoons, plus float in the Cejar Lagoon and relax in the Lake Region. One itinerary includes Easter Island’s Moai statues. All tours include guided experiences, accommodations, and seamless transfers.
Chile and South America Trilogy Tours (13-16 days): A deeper exploration of Chile, Peru, and Colombia, featuring Santiago, Easter Island, Bogotá’s historical treasures, Torres del Paine, Machu Picchu, and the Atacama Desert. These tours include guided excursions, culinary experiences, comfortable accommodations, domestic and regional flights, and private transfers.
Chile by the Sea: For sea lovers, luxury cruise lines like Silversea offer 18- to 19-night roundtrip journeys from Santiago, with flexible itineraries and routes also available on Cunard, Azamara, Holland America, and Princess Cruises. There is a perfect cruise for every traveller!
