Chile has always occupied a prime spot on Virginija’s list, but the journey down south presents a few logistical complexities. Fourteen hours is the shortest flight you can score from Chicago (which includes a US-based transfer), but that only gets you to Santiago. Chile is shaped like a big great noodle, stretching for 2,700 miles across South America. To keep the number of internal transfers reasonable we settled on three points of interest: Santiago and surrounding area, Patagonia, and Chiloé Island.

Here are a few images from the adventure in Patagonia and Chiloé. Santiago and our urban escapades require a separate post.

Tierra Patagonia is masterfully integrated into the surrounding landscape. We woke up one of the mornings only to discover snow covering the peaks of hills around us.
