A small guesthouse in one of the quieter areas of Santiago, CasaSur is the opposite of large and impersonal. With only six rooms and the owners on hand to offer help with recommendations and directions, this little hotel in Barrio Italia is a home away from home and a great base for a couple of nights exploring the city.
An affordable, well-located boutique hotel in the Lastarria district of the city, Su Merced is a fantastic option for those wanting a comfortable base from which to explore Santiago. Compact and independently owned this small hotel stands out for its light and modern rooms and relaxed atmosphere.
With such a diverse geography stretching from the remote Tierra del Fuego in the very south of the country to the deserts and altiplano lagoons in the very north of the country, it’s natural that Chile should have an extremely diverse culture and history too. While Santiago has, for a long time, lagged behind Buenos Aires and Rio as a cultural destination the growing number of restaurants, theatres and museums is attracting more and more people to the capital and the country is starting to make more of its cultural traditions.

John first got in touch with us in March 2015 asking for help with putting together a trip to Chile over Easter 2016, to go in search of Pumas and Humboldt Penguins. Their itinerary took them to the very south of Chile; the Torres del Paine National Park, Chiloé Island and Valparaíso where they took a pelagic birding trip to the Humboldt Current.
Campbell and Meghan had a great trip to Chile in September 2015. The highlights included visiting the Torres del Paine and the Atacama desert and an impromptu visit to Valparaíso.
