Three Chile Trips & The VikOur Magazine
The Perfect Chile Trip Ends at VIK
VIK Chile rises like a gigantic sculpture in the Millahue Valley, its striking titanium roof glinting with the light of the Andes. Each suite is a canvas of bold design and sweeping glass, framing vineyard views that stretch toward the horizon. Days unfold with horseback rides through the hills, tastings of rare vintages, and cuisine that celebrate the valley’s abundance. Dip into an infinity pool suspended between heaven and earth, a perfect vantage point for sunsets that turn the mountains gold. This is where you could end any of the following epic Chilean itineraries.
Santiago, Torres del Paine & Wineries
This journey through Chile blends vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and world-class hospitality. You’ll begin in Santiago, staying in the lively Lastarria neighborhood and exploring the city’s history, art, and cuisine, with day trips to Valparaíso’s colorful hills and the Casablanca wine valley. From there, you’ll fly south to Torres del Paine, where four nights at Tierra Patagonia take you to dramatic wilderness through guided hikes, horseback rides, and aquatic excursions, all paired with spa relaxation and Patagonian cuisine. The trip concludes in Chile’s wine country with three nights at the iconic VIK Chile. This thoughtfully balanced itinerary weaves together city, nature, and wine for an unforgettable Chilean adventure.
Chilean Wine & Gastronomy
This itinerary is all about Chile’s cultural capital and world-class wine regions with a balance of food, history, and design. With two nights in Lastarria neighborhood, we’ll take you on a city tour and a hands-on Chilean cooking class. From there, you’ll head to the Casablanca Valley for a three-night stay at La Casona at Matetic, where biodynamic vineyards, tastings, and a full-day Valparaíso excursion capture Chile’s coastal charm. The journey concludes with three nights in the Colchagua Valley at VIK Chile, with daily winery visits, fine dining, and stunning vineyard landscapes. This thoughtfully paced, flavor-packed trip offers a fun progression from city scenes to coastal wine country luxury.
Chilean Explorer – Atacama, Easter Island, Santiago & More Wine
A high-contrast Chile sampler: start with four nights at Awasi Atacama, using your private guide and 4×4 to chase otherworldly salt flats, geysers, and starry skies. Fly to Santiago for two nights in Lastarria with a city overview and a full-day Valparaíso + Casablanca wine outing. Continue to remote Easter Island for three nights at Explora Rapa Nui, exploring Moai sites and coastal trails with guided hikes and ocean activities. Finish your Chilean crash course at VIK in the Colchagua/Millahue valley, capped by a curated winery day before your flight home. Seamless transfers, top-tier lodges, and a mix of culture, nature, and wine keep the pace ambitious but balanced.
More VIK Chile: You’ll Want That Third Night
Perched on a hilltop in the Millahue Valley, the property looks out over 10,000 acres of vineyards, rolling hills, and rugged wilderness—an environment that feels both remote and untouched, yet cultivated for exceptional wine. Each suite is uniquely designed with sweeping views that constantly remind guests of a connection with the land. Beyond wine tastings and fine dining, the setting invites exploration—whether by horseback, bike, or on foot—through landscapes that shift from lush vineyards to wild forests and open skies. VIK is a place unlike anywhere else in South America.
“I’ve had the fortunate experience of traveling with Exeter Latin America a few times, twice to Chile. Both of my Chile trips felt like trips of a lifetime to some of the world’s most epic natural places – Patagonia, Rapa Nui, and my personal favorite the Atacama desert. The Exeter Latin America team thinks of everything to make sure I feel comfortable, safe, and can really fully experience the adventures that await. Cannot recommend enough and can’t wait for my next adventure.”
