Chile has the Atacama mountain desert in the North, the glaciers and fjords of Patagonia in the south and a central, temperate Lake Region.
Few South American countries boast a landscape and climate as diverse as Chile. Although on average only 180 kilometres wide, it stretches over 4,000 kilometres from north to south which, in European terms, represents a distance and range of climates from Norway’s icy northern tip to the barren sands of the Sahara Desert in Africa. In between, Chile offers fertile valleys well-known for their high quality wines, and serene lakes with a backdrop of snow-capped volcanoes and the Andes mountain range.
Santiago offers a rewarding mix of grand European architecture, contemporary restaurants, galleries and hotels and compelling 20th century history. Tucked away in the Pacific ocean, the enigmatic Moai statues of Easter Island.

A huge thanks to Veloso Team. Everything went very smoothly which considering the number of flights, meetings, hotels, guides etc. was a miracle. Well done.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday from Veloso Tours, so 2/2 tours excellent to date. As a self-drive, your ground agent did track us down to see if things were going OK.
Our holiday worked well due to the suggestions Nick put in. Our guides were always early so there was no hanging out. Hotels and excursions exceeded expectations. We had the holiday of a lifetime.
Thank you for this wonderful holiday. The experience has remained fresh in our memories. The outstanding scenery was matched by our guides' quality whose knowledge and care never failed to impress.
Guides were excellent and really loved their countries. It was the first time we had personal guides and we were very impressed with them all. Always on time for pickups and nice clean vehicles.
Thank you for all times and effort that went into our fabulous holiday. No complaints. Except that 4 weeks is unfortunately too short for visit these places.
The ship Stella Australis was just excellent. This was a wonderful experience. Guides on board were very knowledgeable.
Everything was perfect so due credit goes to Veloso Tours for all your excellent organisation.
