A full day in Torres del Paine from Puerto Natales: the public bus with two variants, the full-day van and your own car, and why Base Torres does not fit.

Four days between the capital and the port: downtown Santiago, the hills of Valparaíso and the coast of Viña del Mar, all within a radius of 120 kilometres.

Santiago, Valparaíso and the Atacama Desert in an eight-day route: the mountains, the Pacific, the salt flats and the geysers, without trying to see the whole country.

From Iquique to San Pedro in five days, climbing from the coast to the desert: the nitrate works, Paranal Saturday and two long bus stretches counted for what they are.

Four days on Rapa Nui: the Tongariki moai at dawn, the Rano Raraku quarry, the ceremonial village of Orongo and Anakena beach.

From Arica to Putre, Lauca and Surire in five days, ordered by altitude: low first, and the night in Putre before any park.

Six days in Torres del Paine National Park from Puerto Natales: three days hiking the W circuit, the Grey glacier and an optional detour to the Milodón Cave.

La Serena, Vicuña and Pisco Elqui in four days, built around the Saturday at Cerro Tololo and the observatory nights, which are booked before leaving.
