Embarking on a journey to Chile is not just about visiting a destination; it’s about immersing yourself in a world of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, exquisite cuisine, and unique adventures. When you book your Chile tour with me, you’re entrusting your dream trip to someone with over 35 years of expertise in crafting luxury travel experiences tailored to discerning travelers. From the ethereal beauty of Easter Island to the wine-rich valleys of the Central Region, I will curate an itinerary that will not only meet but exceed your expectations. Here’s why you should let me guide your Chilean adventure:


Discover the Mysteries of Easter Island


A visit to Easter Island is a bucket-list experience like no other. Known for its enigmatic Moai statues, this remote island is steeped in history and culture. I’ll arrange for expert local guides to bring the island’s stories to life, allowing you to connect deeply with its heritage. Whether it’s hiking to the volcanic craters, marveling at the ancient stone carvings, or enjoying a luxurious stay at an eco-lodge with ocean views, your time on Easter Island will be unforgettable.


A Journey Through Chile’s Wine Country


Chile’s wine regions are world-renowned for their exceptional varietals, from robust reds like Carménère to crisp Sauvignon Blancs. Imagine private tastings at boutique wineries in the Casablanca or Colchagua Valleys, paired with gourmet meals prepared by top chefs. I’ll create a personalized wine itinerary, including vineyard tours, blending workshops, and exclusive dinners under the stars. For those seeking the ultimate indulgence, I can even arrange helicopter transfers between wineries, ensuring you travel in style.


Savor Chile’s Culinary Delights


Chile’s cuisine is a reflection of its diverse geography, featuring flavors from the Pacific Ocean, fertile valleys, and the Andes Mountains. From fresh ceviche and king crab in coastal cities to hearty stews and empanadas in the south, every meal is an adventure. I’ll secure reservations at the finest restaurants, introduce you to authentic local markets, and even organize private cooking classes with renowned chefs.


Nature’s Masterpiece


Chile’s natural beauty is unparalleled. Stand in awe of the otherworldly landscapes of the Atacama Desert, the driest desert on Earth. Marvel at the towering granite peaks and emerald lakes of Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia. Cruise through the glacial fjords or relax in the tranquil Lake District. Whether you’re an adventurer or a nature lover, I’ll design an itinerary that seamlessly blends thrilling activities like hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding with moments of serene reflection in some of the planet’s most stunning settings.


Luxury Accommodations Tailored to Your Taste


From chic boutique hotels in Santiago to ultra-luxurious lodges in Patagonia, Chile offers a range of world-class accommodations. Picture yourself unwinding in a villa surrounded by vineyards, soaking in a hot tub overlooking the Andes, or enjoying a private suite aboard a luxury yacht exploring Chile’s pristine coastline. Your stay will be as extraordinary as the destinations themselves.


Gateway to Antarctica


For those seeking the ultimate adventure, Chile serves as the perfect gateway to Antarctica. From Punta Arenas, you can embark on an expedition to the White Continent, witnessing towering icebergs, playful penguins, and pristine wilderness. Whether you prefer a fly-cruise option for a quick yet immersive experience or a multi-day luxury voyage, I’ll ensure every detail of this once-in-a-lifetime journey is flawlessly executed.


Seamless Planning and Personalized Service


Planning a trip to Chile requires careful attention to detail, especially when visiting remote areas or indulging in unique experiences. With decades of experience in luxury travel, I specialize in crafting bespoke itineraries that cater to your individual interests, preferences, and pace.


A Trip Designed Around You

I’ll arrange for private astronomer-led tours. Looking to celebrate a milestone with a wine-country retreat? I’ll ensure it’s unforgettable. Want to combine relaxation with adventure? I’ll strike the perfect balance.

Custom tour takes all the hassle out of traveling
Leslie helped me craft a personal tour in Costa Rica, with excellent accommodations, activities and transport. Her advice was invaluable in helping me decide how and where to spend my time, and her travel partners in the US and on the ground provided fantastic and seamless service.

Our Italian trip of a lifetime!
Leslie was awesome and we put her through a lot. She planned a custom trip to Italy (Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri,Amalfi,Positano & Rome) for our family group of 11 and it was spot on! She booked all hotels, tours and transportation and it all went smoothly. We were all very happy with the outcome. She provided a lot of expertise and made key recommendations on hotel locations and tours that made our trip run smoothly. She was always available and I felt very confident in her guidance and advice. She's now planning our next family trip to Greece!

Tropical north Queesland, a dream destination
We wanted to get to Queensland before the Olympics makes it too crowded. Leslie knows the area and helped arrange a tour of the "best of the best" hotels in northeastern Australia. Can't say enough about how great this trip was.
