Optional Pre- and Post-Tour Extension Options

Chile has so much to offer visitors. If you have a bit more time, consider the following options to enhance your journey in this fascinating country.

El Calafate Extension

For more of Chile, consider a visit to El Calafate, a city in Patagonia that serves as a gateway to Los Glaciares National Park and its Perito Moreno Glacier. Consider a short cruise in and around the southern tip of South America, including Punta Arenas, Tierra del Fuego, and Cape Horn.

Argentina Extension

Another possibility? From Chile, head east to neighboring Argentina. Leave it to R. Crusoe to introduce you to lively (and oh-so-European) Buenos Aires. The Mendoza wine country. Thundering Iguazú Falls (275 roaring cataracts and infinite rainbows), which straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil. Bariloche and the rest of Argentina’s gorgeous Lake District. Along the way, stay at exceptional hotels and resorts, get familiar with the tango, and trace South America’s Continental roots.

Easter Island, Chile, Extension

Here's an additional idea: From mainland Chile, head to mysterious Easter Island on a pre- or post-tour extension. Home base is another Explora Lodge, this one facing the Pacific Ocean. Spend two days on the island as you wish. Hike or bike to archaeological sites with spectacular views. Explore old volcanic craters, and follow cliffside paths used for generations by the locals. Examine ancient—and unexplained—moai statues, behemoths that gaze out over the ocean. No one has yet figured out the purpose or meaning of these ancient relics.

Machu Picchu, Peru, Extension.

Another idea to flesh out your South American foray? Head to Peru, home of the Inca culture. Machu Picchu is a wonder, of course, but we also love Cusco, an ancient city high in the Andes. And the Sacred Valley is full of surprises. Don’t miss any of it.

Remember that R. Crusoe & Son can create a pre-tour or post-tour extension of any length to meet your exact specifications.
