Discover Chile

Chile is a land of superlatives, where the sheer scale of nature is matched by the riches of its diverse cultures. Explore the vast wilderness, discover the contemporary flair of cosmopolitan cities and take in the quaint beauty of timeless villages on a Chile bike tour with VBT.

Santiago is colonial charm in one of South America’s most modern cities. Nearly 40% of the country’s population resides here, and there’s always something going on. You’ll find world-class restaurants, all-night parties, and leafy parks to relax in away from the hustle and bustle. In the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Valparaíso, a vivid Victorian ambiance and charming cobbled lanes await. Its rambling hilltop urban design has long been home to poets and artists drawn to its chaotic charm. Take a funicular or wander the steep winding lanes to take in the vibrant street art.

Along the “thin country’s” central coast, bask in the bright colors of old fishing villages turned seaside gems. Bike past salt dunes and take in views of Humboldt penguins nesting atop a rocky isle. Explore groves of eucalyptus on the way to wine country. Discover the otherworldly landscape of the Atacama desert, the most arid in the world. Observe unique geological phenomena here, and watch flamingos frolic in the famous Atacama Salt Flats. There’s no better way to take it all in than on a Chile bike tour with VBT.

Wine

Chile’s winemaking traditions go back centuries, but the country has made significant advancements in recent decades, and now produces many world-class wines. Whether you prefer a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from the coastal regions or a Cabernet Sauvignon from the sun-drenched Central Valley, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to sample the country’s offerings.

Atacama Desert

The massive Atacama Desert covers 49,000 square miles and is the driest desert in the world with an average rainfall of just 1mm per year. Explore the otherworldly landscapes here, from wind-sculpted golden dunes to geysers and lagoons. Venture out at night for some of the best stargazing on the planet.

Volcanoes

There are 2,000 volcanoes in Chile, more than 500 of which are potentially active. Two of South America’s most active volcanoes are here: Villarica and Llaima. Take in the stunning views of these majestic peaks from afar, or consider hiking up one of the many dormant volcanoes that have safe, designated climbing routes.
