    Your tour today commences with a captivating exploration of Santiago’s historic heart, anchored by the iconic Plaza de Armas—kilometre zero marking the city’s colonial genesis. The Metropolitan Cathedral, an architectural gem blending Bavarian and neoclassical styles, stands as a testament to this era.

    Traverse the civic district, encircling the Palacio de la Moneda, a poignant witness to pivotal republic history. Delve into the elegant neighbourhoods once home to high society, a treasure trove of architectural diversity sculpted by European immigrants amidst a booming mining era.

Transitioning to the western expanse unveils a modern, thriving cityscape, showcasing daring architectural marvels. These structures epitomize Santiago’s contemporary spirit, exuding innovation and modernity that defines this cosmopolitan hub.

    Transfer to the airport and fly to Calama. On arrival you will be met and transferred to the luxurious Nayara Alto Atacama lodge, situated near the charming town of San Pedro de Atacama.
