English speaking instructors are there to give lessons for the less experienced. In the Galapagos you walk, swim and snorkel with the fearless wildlife.

Skiing in Chillán you can be as active as you want to be. Enjoy the combined pleasures of excellent powder snow, volcanic hot springs and uncrowded pistes in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Chillán's five star hotel is the best ski hotel in Chile, but there are other options nearby. In the Galapagos, you will be on board a boat for seven nights. We generally use first class boats for 12-16 passengers. We are here to advise you on available boats and hotels so you can make the best possible choice.
Chillán offers an exceptional ski in/ski out five star hotel with its own spa and volcanic hot springs. In Cusco stay in a charming colonial style hotel just off the main square. For your three nights camping on the Inca Trail we provide a fully portaged trip with both dining and toilet tents to make the experience as civilised as possible.
