Chile is a land of vast contrast and dramatic landscapes, from the Andes Mountains to the beautiful Lake District;
from the Atacama, the world’s driest desert, in the north, to the windswept plains of Patagonia in the south. When you’re ready
for urban culture, Santiago – Chile’s sophisticated capital – will fascinate you.

itself is 15 miles long and 8 miles wide. A fascinating and mysterious place, Easter
Island is most notable for the ancient culture that once lived there, and the unique
giant statues called moai that remain. More than 800 of these moai still dot the
landscape – some have been reconstructed, others lie in rubble. The only town on
the island is Hanga Roa, where most of the island’s 2,500 inhabitants live.

Southern Patagonia
Discover Patagonia, a land of mystery, located at the tip of South America. This region, referred to by many as “the end of the world”, is a harsh,
windswept environment with spectacular mountains, lakes, glaciers and unique wildlife. Punta Arenas, located at the foot of the Andes on the Strait
of Magellan, is the departure point for programs to the fjords and Torres del Paine National Park.
Avanti offers a wide range of fun programs for exploring Patagonia. We have land-based programs in Puerto Natales, a 3-hour drive from Punta Arenas,
as well as lodges inside Torres del Paine National Park. If you are looking for an eco-cruise, we offer the Mare and Via Australis.

A great introduction to the region, this package gives you a sampling of three points of interest in the region. Fly
into Punta Arenas and continue by bus three hours to Puerto Natales, a charming town on the shores of Last
Hope Sound. The road takes you past large estancias with sheep grazing in the fields, with the Andean corridor
looming on the horizon. The next day continue to Torres del Paine National Park for a tour and two nights at
one of the lodges in or near the Park. Any visit to the Park will leave you with images that will live forever in
your memory – the “towers” and the “horns” of Paine, the Gray Glacier and amazing wildlife such as the
guanaco and Darwin’s Rhea. Return to Punta Arenas where you will have an opportunity to explore this unique
port city at the end of the world.
Remota is located in Puerto Natales, 3 hours from
Punta Arenas, and 1½ hours from Torres del Paine
National Park. The hotel has 72 rooms, all with a
view of Ultima Esperanza Bay, the Balmaceda
Glacier, and the Paine mountain range. Each day
they post 5–7 day-tours to choose from, and you
select your activity for the day.
