Trips to Chile for Women

Chile stretches from desert to glacier like it couldn’t commit to a personality, and honestly, respect. This trip skips the sand entirely and goes straight for Patagonia — the part of the country where the wind has personally chosen violence and the scenery doesn’t care.

You’ll hike past granite towers that make your gym’s rock wall look like a participation trophy, kayak alongside icebergs calving nearby (they will not wait for your photo), and horseback ride through valleys that look suspiciously like a screensaver default. You’ll get windblown, be slightly damp and totally humbled by landscapes that are savagely breathtaking.

Start with our Patagonia Hiking and Kayaking Multisport trip, or check out the rest of our South America adventures if the Andes are calling too.
