Argentina & Chile

Atacama High Pass to Argentina


15 days from £2,816

We've designed a holiday in Chile of extremes. The Andean crossing between the Atacama desert and Salta in the Argentine Andean foothills is the highest and most elemental pass, where sun-bleached arid rock gives way to ice-clad skeletal peaks. From here you’ll fly to the sub-tropical rainforest of Iguazú National Park and survey and explore the famous Iguazú Falls. And there’s a sophisticated city – Santiago and Buenos Aires – at either end.

Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.
