Chile’s Route of Parks


Custom Travel | 12 Days
  • Be one of the first to explore Chile’s new Route of Parks tour
  • Glittering lakes, rushing waterfalls, and primeval woodlands
  • A trip in support of preserving Patagonia’s fragile ecosystems
  • See six of Chile’s national parks on the new route from the regions of Los Lagos to Aysén
  • Endemic plant life, outdoor adventures, and otherworldly vistas await

Likened to the grandeur and glory of the Pacific Coast Trail, Chile’s new Route of Parks tour hugs the opposite end of the Americas from Puerto Montt to the southern tip of Chilean Patagonia featuring 1,700 miles of pristine landscapes, fragile ecosystems, and diverse cultures. This new trip route is a grand display of Chile’s most epic landscapes, including the Andes Mountains, temperate rain forests, lakes, and volcanoes. On this trip to Chile, travel to six of the new route’s 17 national parks, staying in charming lodges to rest properly before adventurous daytime excursions with new Chilean friends—by boat, horse, or even helicopter.

Trip Overview


I am so excited about this itinerary, which explores two of the newest parks. Anyone who loves to hike, loves scenery, road trips, loves being in the middle of nowhere, and is into seeing conservation in action, will love this trip.
