Overnight

The gateway to Lima, Callao offers visitors the perfect balance of things to see, do, and relax. At just seven miles from the capital, you would be forgiven for thinking that Callao is simply a suburb, but this city very much has it's own identity. The old center of Callao has houses from the Lima colonial era and public squares with historical monuments, such as the stunning Plaza Miguel Grau and Plaza Independencia. The popular Punta district offers locals and visitors alike a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, most featuring the Peruvian classic, ceviche. There's also a lovely boardwalk where you can walk off your meal while soaking-in views of the sea and surrounds.

If you can hear the roar of the Pacific's but still feel the warmth of Peruvian charm, then you must be in Puerto San Martin. This bustling port town blends maritime energy with historical intrigue, offering a glimpse into the country's vast cultural and maritime heritage. As you wander its streets, colorful buildings mirror the vibrancy of local life, and there is no better way of experiencing this for yourself than by discovering local flavors with seafood delicacies and a glass of Pisco, the eponymous grape brandy that is the region's most famous export.

With its colonial architecture, captivating sunsets, and links to a cherished drink, Puerto San Martín offers an authentic taste of Peru's coastal enchantment.

7 EXCURSIONS

Blessed with mild, year-round temperatures, thanks to its proximity to the Pacific and the Atacama Desert, it's little wonder that Iquique appeals to those seeking sun, sand, and a laid-back vibe. Once the unrivaled capital of the saltpeter, or nitrate industry (found in fertilizer and fireworks), the town's historic center boasts palatial buildings, stoic testaments to its once thriving economy. Today, Iquique is a beacon for tourists drawn to its inviting beaches - like palm-tree fringed Playa Cavancha - exciting casinos, and duty-free shopping. A short drive outside the city is where you'll find well-preserved ghost towns, remnants from the nitrate industry's hey-day. Some, including Humberstone, are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visitors can enjoy water sports, explore the nearby Atacama Desert, and experience the city's lively atmosphere, making Iquique one of the most enticing destinations in South America.

6 EXCURSIONS

Antofagasta is one of Chile's most recognizable cities. Bordered by the Atacama Desert to the east and by the mighty Pacific Ocean to the west, its fortuitous placement has made it the copper mining capital of Chile. Its lovely parks and plazas make for a verdant, cosmopolitan welcome site when contrasted against the arid Atacama (the driest desert in the world). Venture to the north of the city and you'll find the city's greatest natural landmark - Monumento Natural La Portada - a massive natural arch just offshore, home to pelicans, seagulls and, if luck is on your side, seals and dolphins. Take a boat trip out to sea to get a the best perspective of this magnificent area.

7:00 AM - 6:00 PM

7 EXCURSIONS

With its brightly colored fishing boats bobbing lazily in its harbor and wide, welcoming beaches, it's hard to miss the port of Coquimbo. Along with its twin city of La Serena, Coquimbo is known for being one of Chile's most popular seaside resorts with local and international visitors coming to experince its unique blend of culture, cuisine and charisma. Head to Barrio Ingles (English Quarter) for a taste of vibrant market life by day, not forgetting to stop by the popular street-food stalls for a taste of anticuchos (chicken leg skewers), and of course the iconic empanadas. Come sunset, the area turns into a busy, buzzy night life area, with many bars and local restaurants. While its beaches are certainly its signature appeal, Coquimbo is also home to more bucolic pastimes including historic churches, museums, impressive neocolonial architecture, and nearby national parks.

6 EXCURSIONS

Valparaíso, Chile's most artistic city, is vibrant canvas where colorful houses climb steep hills, embraced by the Pacific breeze. Founded in the 16th century, the city's history dates back to the 16th century, when Spanish explorers discovered its natural harbor. Its strategic location along the trade routes made it a crucial port, attracting ships from around the world. Today, the city's diverse architecture reflects this history, blending colonial, European, and indigenous influences. The city's cultural scene flourished during Chile's economic booms in the 19th century and attracted many intellectuals, writers, and artists. Their legacy live on: Valparaíso was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023, celebrated for its rich history and vibrant artistic culture. Its hills showcase colorful houses, connected by winding streets and iconic ascensores (funiculars). These elements are a living testament to the city's past, its role as a crossroads of cultures, and its enduring appeal to travelers seeking a taste of history and creative inspiration.
