Why go
Santiago and wine
Ride up Cerro San Cristóbal for the whole city laid out against snow-capped peaks, then eat your way around the Mercado Central. Vineyards fill the Maipo valley just outside the city, still under those same peaks.
Valparaíso's hills
A port that climbs straight up from the sea, its houses painted every colour and its walls covered in murals. Old funiculars save your legs.
Viña del Mar
Right next door and a world apart: beaches, gardens and a long seafront promenade for slow afternoons.
The Atacama
The high desert shares Bolivia's far south-west: the same salt and lagoons, and less of them. El Tatio and Valle de la Luna are its own places.
