Your Chilean Adventure Begins
Upon your arrival in Santiago, a IB host will be there to personally welcome you and accompany you to your hotel. After a long flight, there’s no need to worry about transportation—we’ll handle the details so you can settle in with ease.
Take the opportunity to gently immerse yourself in the rhythm of the city, discovering the rich culture and energy of Chile’s capital at your own pace. Later, unwind at your hotel, refresh, and enjoy a restful evening before your exciting journey unfolds.
Exploring Osorno Volcano & Petrohúe Falls
Start your day with a hearty breakfast before setting off on a scenic drive to Ensenada, where your adventure begins at the serene Laguna Verde, nestled at the base of the majestic Osorno Volcano. From there, ascend the volcano’s slopes for breathtaking panoramic views.
Venture into Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, Chile’s oldest national park, where you’ll hike through stunning landscapes and take in the beauty of Todos Los Santos Lake, its crystal-clear waters sparkling under the sun. End the journey with a visit to the spectacular Petrohúe Falls, an unmissable gem in Chile’s Lake District.
A Journey Through Llanquihue, Frutillar & Puerto Octay
Begin your day with a leisurely walk through the town of Llanquihue, known for its flavorful sausages and scenic lakeside charm. From there, continue to Frutillar, a picturesque village that echoes the elegance of old Bavaria.
As you wander its charming streets, you’ll notice the European influence in the beautifully preserved houses, vibrant gardens, and stunning views of the Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes. For a deeper dive into history, visit the German Colonial Museum, which offers a glimpse into the lives of the early settlers. Down by the lakeshore, admire the striking Teatro del Lago, home to the renowned Frutillar Musical Week each summer, where classical music from Chile and beyond fills the air.
Your journey continues along the northern shore of the lake to the delightful town of Puerto Octay, where more hidden gems await.
Returning to Santiago: A Peaceful Stopover
Today, we’ll ensure a smooth journey as you catch your flight back to Santiago. You’ll be transferred to Puerto Montt Airport in time for your short flight to the capital. Once there, settle in and enjoy a relaxing evening at your own pace before your exciting adventure to Easter Island begins tomorrow.
Welcome to Easter Island: Your Island Escape Begins
This morning, we’ll ensure a smooth transfer to the airport for your flight to Easter Island.
Once you arrive, we’ll accompany you to your hotel, where you’ll have the rest of the day to unwind and take in the island’s enchanting atmosphere. Take a leisurely stroll through town, sip on refreshing tropical fruit juice, and browse for unique souvenirs as you begin to immerse yourself in this extraordinary destination.
Unveiling the Mysteries of Easter Island
Your adventure begins this morning as you set out along the island’s southern coast to explore the untouched archaeological site of Vaihu, a place where history remains undisturbed.
Next, visit Akahanga, believed to be the resting place of the legendary King Hotu Matua, before continuing to Rano Raraku Volcano. Here, a short hike leads you to the immense crater, where countless unfinished Moai remain frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the island’s ancient craftsmanship.
Your journey then takes you to Ahu Tongariki, home to 15 majestic Moai standing proudly in formation, each one whispering stories of the past. At Te Pito Kura, marvel at the largest Moai ever erected on an Ahu, an impressive sight of both scale and mystery.
Before the day ends, soak in the beauty of Anakena Beach, a pristine paradise with golden sands and swaying palm trees—the perfect spot to unwind before returning to your hotel.
Ancient Legends and Breathtaking Views
Begin your day with a scenic ascent up Rano Kau, a stunning volcano that offers panoramic views of the endless ocean, the dramatic crater, and the town of Hanga Roa below.
At the top, step into the fascinating past of Easter Island as you visit the sacred village of Orongo, where ancient petroglyphs tell the story of the island’s legendary Birdman ceremony.
Next, explore Vinapu, an archaeological site where precisely carved stone walls bear a striking resemblance to those of Machu Picchu. Finally, venture into the mysterious cave of Ana Kai Tangata, where well-preserved cave paintings provide a glimpse into the island’s ancient artistry.
After this enriching morning, return to your hotel with time to enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore at your own pace.
Sunrise at Ahu Tongariki & Return to Santiago
Rise early for a breathtaking start to the day as we journey to Ahu Tongariki, where the first light of dawn illuminates the towering Moai statues, casting long shadows over the Bay of Hanga Nui. This magical moment, with the sun slowly emerging beyond the horizon, offers not only spectacular photo opportunities but also an unforgettable farewell to Easter Island.
After soaking in the beauty of sunrise, return to your hotel for a relaxing breakfast. Spend your final hours on the island at your own pace—perhaps taking one last stroll through its enchanting landscapes—before heading to the airport for your flight back to Santiago.
