PLEASE NOTE: The original departure for this trip has already filled up. AHI is offering an additional departure, February 4-16, 2027. While we’d love to see more Badgers take advantage of this great opportunity, the additional departure will not be officially “sponsored”.
Discover Chile’s breathtaking landscapes and warm culture on this active nine-night adventure! Begin in vibrant Santiago, set against the snowcapped Andes, with a city tour and a visit to the renowned pre-Columbian art museum. Continue to Puerto Varas and ferry across to the enchanting island of Chiloé, where you’ll encounter its unique traditions and glimpse penguins in their natural habitat. Admire the turquoise cascades of the Petrohué River Falls and cruise across volcanic-framed Lake Todos los Santos. Fly south to Punta Arenas to see a full-scale replica of Magellan’s pioneering ship and journey deep into Patagonia. Cruise the dazzling Ultima Esperanza Fjord, hike in the breathtaking Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, and marvel at the majestic, frozen Serrano and Balmaceda Glaciers. Explore the world-famous Torres del Paine National Park, where jagged peaks, Lake Grey, and the thundering Salto Grande waterfall showcase nature at its most dramatic. Along the way, savor a Chilean wine tasting, a traditional curanto lunch, and a Patagonian barbecue. This first-class, small-group journey includes internal flights and a generous meal plan.
