Chile expedition overview

Chile is a long and skinny country consisting of a 4,300km strip of land stretching from north to south, averaging less than 200km wide. The main trekking area is known as the Norte Grande, dominated by the Atacama, the world's driest desert. Surprisingly temperate and accessible throughout the year; teams will be able to explore the wonders of the Norte Grande, such as its emerald lagoons, crystal clear skies, vast salt flats, mysterious Inca geoglyphs and flamingo studded lakes.

Chile is a perfect destination for adventurous teams looking for challenging trekking. It will be a demanding expedition where the high altitude, remoteness and conditions will challenge even the fittest of teams. Challengers will have the opportunity to trek on some of the highest volcanoes in the world.

Please note that expeditions in Chile are only possible as part of a combined Chile & Bolivia expedition.
