Fall under Santiago’s spell on this city stay

Soulful Santiago is a perfect introduction to Chile, and this four-day Short Break Adventure takes you from the historic streets and plazas of the oldest quarters to the breathtaking hilltop views. Sip world-class wines in the Casablanca Valley and explore the colourful maze of cliffside houses in coastal Valparaiso. If you’ve only got a few days in the Chilean capital, this is the perfect way to spend them.

Is this trip right for you?

  • On Short Break Adventures, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a trip leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Intrepid partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.

Important notes

1. This Short Break Adventure is a ‘join in’ group departure, which means you are not accompanied by an Intrepid group leader – our local representative fills this role – and the configuration of any fellow travellers in the group might change during the trip.
2. This trip will run with a minimum of one person, so you may be joined by other travellers booked on the same date as you, or you may be on your own.
3. This trip is operated by one of our local partners in Chile and therefore you may be joined by a mixture of Intrepid-booked passengers and other travellers during activities.
Information may be delivered in English and Spanish, or just English depending on the requirements of the group.
