Chile

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Chile is a long, narrow country stretching along South America's western edge, bordered by the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It's renowned for its extraordinary geographic diversity — from the Atacama Desert in the north, one of the driest places on Earth, to the glaciers and fjords of Patagonia in the south. Travellers come for world-class trekking in Torres del Paine, stargazing in the Atacama, wine touring in the Maipo and Colchagua valleys, and surfing along its vast coastline. Santiago, the vibrant capital, serves as a hub for culture, cuisine, and nightlife.

Discover Chile: Self-Launched Atacama, Lake District & Patagonia

A self-launched, backpacker-friendly version of Exodus's 13-day "Discover Chile" tour — the same sweep from Santiago down to Patagonian Torres del Paine, back up through the German-influenced Lake District, then north to the otherworldly Atacama Desert. Instead of a guided group with private minibuses and internal flights on a set schedule, you'll piece it together with Chile's excellent long-distance buses (the famous overnight cama seats), budget domestic flights where they beat the bus, and self-bookable day tours from GetYourGuide/Viator and local operators on the ground in Puerto Natales and San Pedro de Atacama. Accommodation is swapped for hostels and simple guesthouses of comparable quality. Costs are approximate per-person estimates in GBP for a budget-to-midrange solo traveller, based on current backpacker rates; internal flight costs vary a lot with how far ahead you book.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Chile yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
