1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Santiago is the capital and largest city of Chile, home to roughly seven million people and set dramatically against the backdrop of the snow-capped Andes mountains. The city is a major hub for South American travel, known for its vibrant food and wine scene, thriving street art, and lively neighbourhoods like Bellavista, Lastarria, and Barrio Italia. Day trips from Santiago can reach world-class ski resorts, the Pacific coast at Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, and the renowned vineyards of the Maipo and Casablanca valleys. Travellers are drawn by its blend of cosmopolitan energy, Andean scenery, and its role as a gateway to Patagonia and the rest of Chile.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Santiago, 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: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
