Tailor-made Chile & Easter Island Holidays
If you look at a map of the Americas it's likely that a very long and narrow country will catch your eye. Chile is a geographical extravaganza in its own right - nearly 5,000 kilometres long but only 150 kilometres wide. Located on the western side of South America, Chile is flanked by the high Andes and the cold Pacific Ocean. In the north sits the driest desert in the world, the Atacama, while in the south the immense and contrasting landscape of Patagonia emerges between deep fjords, glaciers and vast steppes. This vastly contrasting landscape allows for the existence of a mosaic of habitats and ecosystems and correspondingly an amazingly diverse array of wildlife. We can tailor-make you a truly wonderful wildlife holiday.
Fact!
If you're interested in the natural environment, we'd also recommend a visit to the Lake District region of Chile. It has many interesting trees which are unique due to their geographical isolation, including various species of the southern tree genus nothofagus. The dominant forests here also comprise ancient species such as araucaria, or monkey puzzle, tree and the endangered alerce.
Fact!
Patagonia has a long tradition of horsemanship. If you fancy a spot of horse-riding while you?re in this area, we can recommend a lovely 'estancia' (ranch) to give you an authentic Patagonian experience.
