The O.A.T. Difference: Chile & Argentina
Small Groups: No more than 16 travelers, guaranteed.
Local Trip Experience Leaders and Regional Office Expertise: Explore with a local Trip Experience Leader, who is fluent in English and trained by O.A.T. on the skills needed to bring travelers off the beaten path to meet with locals who share their cultures and traditions with us. Plus, follow an itinerary that's been carefully crafted by O.A.T.'s Argentina and Chile offices—staffed with 49 regional associates.
Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry.
People-to-People Experiences: Visit a local family in the Patagonian steppe, where you'll saddle up like a true gaucho and ride horseback before sitting down to share a meal, and see how Bariloche's land and culture blend when you meet a craft brewery owner. You'll also learn about life in Chile's bucolic Lake District during a Home-Hosted Dinner in Puerto Varas, and spend A Day in the Life of the Rilan community on Chiloé Island, where you'll meet a local artisan who will delve into Rilan customs and then help prep a curanto—a stew cooked in the ground.
O.A.T. Exclusives: Learn about the Controversial Topic of the individuals who were "disappeared" during Argentina's Dirty War during a conversation with a local. Plus, we'll discover one musician's efforts to improve the lives of vulnerable children during a visit to the COMBAS fine arts school in Puerto Varas—supported by Grand Circle Foundation.
Customize Your Experience: Join the 71% of travelers who extend their time abroad. Add a pre-trip extension to Santiago & Easter Island's Sacred Sites, post-trip extension to Iguassu Falls: Thundering Cascades of Argentina & Brazil, or both of these extensions to your South America adventure—when you do, you’ll enjoy more time to develop bonds with your fellow travelers.
Join the growing number of solo travelers reserved on upcoming departures of this adventure—traveling independently or sharing a room with a mother, daughter, sister, or friend.
Safety & Security: You'll have the guidance and support of your expert Trip Experience Leader from South America throughout your entire trip—as well as our regional offices in Argentina and Chile, which is available and ready to help you and your group 24/7.
Travel Solo, But Never Alone: On average, almost half of your group will also be traveling independently, so it’s easier to forge special bonds as you experience unforgettable moments together during your adventure. Plus, your Trip Experience Leader can help connect you with fellow travelers who share your common interests.
FREE or low-cost Single Supplements: Free or low-cost Single Supplements are offered on all O.A.T. adventures and are FREE on pre- or post-trip extensions—a savings of $900-$1,100 per person compared to other travel companies. See available single space here »
