Chile circuit tailor made

Total costs depend on travel duration, accommodation category, departure city and desired experiences. As a guide: an 18–21-day private journey for two people with premium lodges and private guides is in the five-figure range per person. The first conversation is no-obligation. Together we establish what your journey should include and create a transparent, tailor-made proposal.

A complete Chile circuit requires four domestic flights: Germany → Santiago (international), Santiago → Calama (for the Atacama), Calama → Santiago → Punta Arenas (for Patagonia), and Punta Arenas → Santiago → Isla de Pascua (for Rapa Nui). All connections and layovers in Santiago are planned and booked by us as part of the overall route.

For travel in the main window of November to February, you should book at least 10–12 months in advance, ideally earlier. The best lodges in Torres del Paine (Explora, EcoCamp) and on Rapa Nui (Explora Rapa Nui, Hangaroa) are regularly booked a year ahead. MIRA KODA secures access through direct partnerships with the properties, not public booking platforms.

Yes. Particularly in Patagonia, combining both countries makes sense: the Perito Moreno Glacier and El Chaltén are on the Argentine side, Torres del Paine on the Chilean side. We coordinate the border crossing, vehicle change and accommodation on both sides as part of a seamless transfer. For EU citizens, Argentina is visa-free.

The Atacama and Rapa Nui are very family-friendly: calm, manageable, with fascinating experiences for children too, including flamingos, Moai and stargazing. Patagonia requires physical fitness depending on activities. For families with children from around 10 years, we plan Patagonia with comfortable tours rather than demanding trekking. We discuss the exact programme in the first conversation.

MIRA KODA works without a catalogue, without group travel and without pre-packaged itineraries. Every journey is built individually around you from the first conversation: route, accommodation, guides, pace and experiences. A single point of contact accompanies the entire planning process and is available throughout the journey. Every guest receives a Haptic Koda at the end: a hand-bound photo book of the journey on fine art paper.

18 to 21 days is ideal to experience all three destinations without rushing. This consists of 3–4 nights in the Atacama, 5–7 nights in Patagonia and 5–6 nights on Rapa Nui, plus transit nights in Santiago. A 14-day variant is possible if the Atacama is omitted or Patagonia is limited to one side.

We recommend Atacama first, then Patagonia, then Rapa Nui. This sequence follows an inner dramaturgy, moving from desert and heat as introduction to ice and physical intensity as climax, with Pacific silence as resolution. Logistically it is also the most efficient route.

November to February is the golden window. Patagonia then has the longest days and most reliable weather. Rapa Nui hosts the Tapati Festival in February. The Atacama is accessible year-round, though stargazing is particularly impressive in the drier winter months.

Yes. A Patagonia-Rapa Nui circuit without the Atacama is feasible in 14–16 days. Those visiting Patagonia and Rapa Nui for the first time can add the Atacama as a separate journey at a later date.

Yes. Since 2018, entry to Rapa Nui requires a pre-registered permit through the Municipio de Isla de Pascua and a separate national park fee. Visitors are limited to a maximum of thirty days. We coordinate all necessary documents and permits as part of the itinerary.
