A country home to the driest desert in the world, enigmatic Easter Island and some of the most beautifully positioned vineyards in the Americas, Chile truly has it all. However, it is in Patagonia where perhaps its most striking sights can be absorbed. The wildlife here is second to none, with guanaco and vicuna gambolling over the sweeping plains while Andean condors cut through the skies. Coupled with vistas of towering granite peaks and turquoise glaciers, there is nowhere quite like Patagonia. A clutch of superb lodges deliver something to suit every taste, with the most active outdoor adventurers to those seeking a dose of luxury all catered for in equal measure.
Ascending from the wilds of the south, we recommend making your way to Vik Chile, nestled in the rolling hills of the Millahue Valley. Blending striking design with highly-acclaimed wines, the retreat is the perfect places to sample one of the country’s best known exports.
