The Best of Santiago, Chile - A Four-Day Itinerary For You & Your Bestie

Tracy Delossantos
Santiago, Chile, was originally planned to be a stop on the way back from a trip to the Patagonian mountains. But it became one of my favorite places in South America. This city is rich in vibrant neighborhoods with stunning views, a bustling historic district and striking architecture. I loved how this place was a great city to visit without being too crowded, plus the food and wine were top-tier. Santiago is more than a layover stop to other parts of South America. It is a destination in itself that you can explore with your bestie over a long weekend.

Get Inspired with a Trip to Chile: Santiago and Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

Lauren Keeton
This particular trip originated with a son’s Spanish book report on Chile. An incredibly thoughtful mom reached out to me to plan this trip for her and her son to bring his book report to life as a reward for all his hard schoolwork and as a very intentional trip for just the two of them. Dad stayed home with the littles! Chile is mystical, spiritual and magical and this particular trip is definitely for the adventurous. Nature is at the heart of everything and Rapa Nui is considered the most remote, inhabited island on the planet. The planet!

I am either on a trip or planning one and sometimes both at once. I love exploring big cities as much as deserted beaches. A mother of two and an advertising executive, I find joy in making people happy, surprised and fulfilled through travel planning and travel styling.
The daughter of parents who went anywhere and everywhere in a car, sometimes driving across the country and sometimes driving 24 hours at a time. Because of that, I always longed for plane rides and faraway places and moved to NYC to study fashion for college. I’ve lived in NYC, Brisbane, Brooklyn, Santa Monica, Malibu, North Shore of Kauai, Cabo, Phoenix and Manhattan Beach and have local insights to each of those destinations.
