Leave Santiago early for Cajón del Maipo and the emerald waters of Embalse El Yeso. Your small-group minivan includes hotel pickup, an English or multilingual guide, mountain views, a picnic with cheese, salami, olives, juices, and wine, plus several rural stops.

“The trip covers multiple stops (coffee, views, goats, lunch, chocolate, dancing etc.) but the highlights were the spectacular views of the lake (reservoir), distant glacier, and the crazy dancing game (musical bottles!) with people from many countries. Had great conversations too. Gonzalo was a great driver and got us early to places where timing mattered, like the lunch.”

Travel from Santiago to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar with a driver-guide such as Rafael, Christopher, Romina, or Carol. Expect Pacific views, Valparaiso hills, street art, an optional elevator ride, chicha tasting, Reñaca beach time, and a real Easter Island moai.

“Guide was friendly and knowledgable with excellent English. I was unhappy with the structure of the tour - the driver wasted a lot of time with long stops. Given that it was mostly a walking tour and the driver didn't have much to do and the drive was just 90 minutes each way this didn't make sense. Also the guide was stubborn and wouldn't accommodate our request to go to the Neruda house and spend less time walking around or even drive by Neruda's house which I asked to do multiple times.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 179 reviews · 15 hours · from $110

Travel from Punta Arenas across the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego, where you visit the only King Penguin colony in South America. Guides such as Christian, Alvaro, and Katherine add strong local context, but expect a 15-hour day with long stretches in a minibus.

“Cool to see the penguins, but there aren’t that many, you only see them for an hour (and that is just standing, looking at the one group) and they aren’t very close, but overall it’s the very long drive that is important for this one. I left my accommodation at 7am and didn’t get back until 11pm, there are a small number of stops on the way, but for the most part you are on the minibus, which is ok, but for the length of the drive not super comfortable, had no luggage rack and no usb chargers. The guide and driver were lovely and did a brilliant job, but…”

“I really enjoyed this tour. During the trip, we visited the most popular locations, which were truly breathtaking. The park itself is absolutely incredible — I think that’s clear even without a review. As for the organization, everything was also at a very good level. The guide, Chris, was very friendly and answered all our questions. The driver drove smoothly, so there were no issues on the road. The only thing I felt was missing was a longer hike. We walked toward the glacier, which took about 20–30 minutes round trip, and also to the cave, around 20 minutes round trip. In my opinion, a couple of hours of hiking…”

“Our private tour of Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar was spectacular!! The places we saw and our guide from HecTours were both outstandin! En route to Valparaiso, we stopped to take pictures of the beautiful Casablanca Valley. In Valparaiso, we loved all the street art, interesting buildings, ascensors, and views of the port. It is really a unique place to visit. I can see why it is a UNESCO site. We were lucky to also have a great tour guide from HecTours that grew up there and knew so much about the place. He even treated us to delicious homemade alfajores. In Vina Del Mar we got some great views…”
