Top 4 2-Day Experiences in Chile

1.Easter Island Highlights 2-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 205 reviews · 2 days · from $170Our pick

Spend two days touring Rapa Nui from Hanga Roa in a minibus with up to 14 people. Local guides such as Jeremías, Zoe, Roberto, and Enerike explain moai traditions, island life, and archaeology in English or Spanish. Visit Tongariki, Rano Raraku, Anakena, Orongo, Vinapu, Puna Pau, Ana Te Pahu, and Ahu Akivi.

“This was an amazing tour!!!! Well worth the money and then some! Our guide, Javier’s Hucke, was extremely knowledgeable and patient, taking time to translate the tour for both English and Spanish speakers and ensuring all of our questions were thoroughly answered. She provided so much insight into the rich culture and history of the island, and particularly the Moai statues. I learned so much that I never knew about them!! Since the majority of the island is a national park with stops that require a guide, it is most efficient and well worth the money to book a tour like this one. I also rented a motorcycle and spent…”

2.2-Day Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ticket and Cable Car

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 162 reviews · 2 days · from $69Best value

Use Santiago’s red hop-on hop-off buses for two days, stopping at ten major sights from Parque Arauco to Plaza de Armas and Cerro Santa Lucía. Your ticket also covers the San Cristóbal cable car, historic funicular, and panoramic buses. Recorded commentary is offered in six languages, while staff such as Daniela Torres and Nicole are known for helpful service.

“The tour is an excellent option to see the city. One complete circuit takes about two hours, and another one hour if you take the cable car and funicular which offers very. The frequency of the buses is around 25-30 mins. The operators are well organised and the commentary was apt and understandable. Get Your Guide instructions are outdated as there is no need to exchange the voucher for a physical ticket at the only one pickup point listed. In my case, the operator sent an eticket by email and whatsapp, and the bus staff scanned the barcode anywhere I started. You can even buy the ticket on the bus…”

3.Two days of Full Day Tour of Rapa Nui + Sunrise in Tongariki

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 55 reviews · 3 days · from $250Top rated

Spend two full days visiting Rapa Nui’s major archaeological sites, then rise early for sunrise at Ahu Tongariki. Local guides such as Alex, Alejandro, David, and Ariki may lead different days, offering varied views of the island’s legends and past. Pickup, rain ponchos, and support are included, but food and the national park ticket cost extra.

“We had three different guides every day. First two days are full day tours which the guides are very responsible and provided lots of information. However, on the 3rd of the sunrise tour, the female guide seems only responsible for transporting us to the place only. The time didn’t allow us to stay long enough to wait and see the completed sunrise as the guide needed to rush back to the full day tour starting around 9am. It was quite disappointing we were being picked up around 6am that actually the sunrise started at 8am….”

4.2 Days in Patagonia. Torres del Paine and Balmaceda and Serrano Glacier.

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 4 reviews · 2 days · from $360

Spend one day touring Torres del Paine National Park and Milodón Cave, then cruise the Última Esperanza Fjord to Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. English and Spanish guiding, hotel pickup for day one, lunch on the glacier cruise, and a pisco or whiskey aperitif with ancient ice are included. Expect long road hours and short walks rather than serious hiking.

“Il faut dissocier les deux activités. Autant la journée Balmaceda et Serrano mérite cinq étoiles et a été formidable. Autant la journée Torres del Paine a été désagréable. Malgré la gentillesse de la conductrice et de l’accompagnateur les conditions étaient compliquées. Le minibus était vieux et fatigué, sur des pistes défoncées. La climatisation ne fonctionnait pas. Je pense que le concept de cette activité est à revoir, beaucoup trop de kilomètres sur des pistes.”
