The 3 Safari Tours in Chile That Earn Their Price

1.Safari Park, a wild experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 9 hours · from $111Our pick

Travel from Santiago in a small group to Safari Park for a Chilean countryside breakfast, big-cat and herbivore safaris, a Jurassic ride, wildlife rehabilitation areas, and one playground activity. Guides speak English, Spanish, or Portuguese, with Carlos and Sebastian praised for clear, friendly help.

“We had a great overall experience on the safari park tour. Our guide Carlos was friendly, helpful, and very informative, which made seeing the animals up close even more exciting and enjoyable. The only downsides were the long wait at the start — we were picked up early and then had to wait almost two hours for the tour to begin — and the limited free time in the park.

2.Wildlife Safari and Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $145Top rated

Join Juan Pablo for a four-hour wildlife and photography outing from San Pedro de Atacama. Visit Quirquincho Pass, Machuca wetlands, and the Putana Valley lookout while using binoculars, spotting scopes, and phone adaptors to find flamingos, vicuñas, vizcachas, and highland birds.

“Lo que más me gustó, fue tener la oportunidad de fotografiar Flamencos, vizcachas, vicuñas y varias aves que no conocía, ver los paisajes con esa luz dorada del atardecer y dedicar tiempo a observar y estar en el lugar, vale la pena totalmente, ya que es muy diferente a un tour tradicional dónde no se tiene la tranquilidad de poder apreciar la fauna, los paisajes y hacer buenas fotos. JP fue muy profesional, cercano y excelente disposición para que mi experiencia fuera la mejor. Recomiendo 100%.”
