The Allure of Solo Travel to Chile

Stepping into the vibrant streets of Chile as a solo traveller is a liberating experience. The country's warm, welcoming culture makes it an ideal destination for women exploring the world independently. From the bustling markets in La Vega to the serene landscapes of Patagonia, Chile is a tapestry of exhilarating tales waiting to be discovered.

Must-Visit Destinations

Santiago: The dynamic heartbeat of Chile, Santiago, offers a metropolitan flair interwoven with historical charm. Here, the shadow of the Andes looms large, offering breathtaking hiking opportunities just a stone's throw from urban delights. Lose yourself in the local cafés or explore the street art in the bohemian district of Bellavista.

Atacama Desert: A spectacle of nature, the Atacama Desert's otherworldly landscapes entice solo adventurers. Photographers and nature lovers alike will relish the chance to capture its vast salt flats and lagoons, where flamingos gracefully tread. As night falls, indulge in stargazing under one of the clearest night skies on Earth.

Patagonia: For those drawn to the call of the wild, Patagonia offers a sanctuary of soaring peaks and pristine wilderness. Trek through Torres del Paine National Park, where each sunrise paints the mountains in hues of gold and pink, and every trail promises stories of solitude and beauty.

Unique Cultural Experiences

Chile's rich cultural tapestry is a captivating blend of indigenous traditions and Spanish influences. Enjoy an immersive journey through its festivals, like the lively Fiesta de la Tirana, or learn the sensual art of Chilean dance. As you traverse the country, don't miss an opportunity to connect with the Mapuche people, whose stories and crafts add depth to Chilean heritage.

Savoury Chilean Delights

Chile's culinary scene is a feast for the senses. Delight in the flavours of empanadas, savour the Patagonia lamb, or indulge in a seafood feast in Valparaiso. Each dish tells a story, woven from local ingredients and time-honoured traditions. As you travel solo, relish the opportunity to dine with locals and delight in new tastes and stories shared over pisco sours.

Practical Tips for Solo Travel

  • Stay Connected: Though you may be travelling solo, staying connected is essential. Consider purchasing a local SIM card for easy communication.
  • Travel Light: With Chile's varied climates, packing smart is key. Layering is your friend, ensuring you're prepared for both the sunny beaches and the cool mountain air.
  • Local Wisdom: Engage with local guides for insights that add depth to your travels. They can open doors to hidden experiences unknown to many tourists.

Why Choose Chile Vacation Packages?

Chile vacation packages offer convenience and curated experiences tailored to your solo travel needs. These packages provide a safety net, balancing independence with structured adventure. Whether you're exploring Chile's pulsating cities or its vast natural wonders, these packages ensure a seamless blend of culture, comfort, and discovery.

In closing, solo travel for women to Chile is more than just a journey; it's a path to self-discovery, a chance to embrace freedom, and a gateway to awe-inspiring landscapes.

Pastel de choclo, sweet corn baked over savoury meat, olives, and eggs, is a must-try. Pair it with a pisco sour or a glass of Carménère or Sauvignon Blanc.

Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, offers a profound spiritual connection to nature and culture. The night skies, volcanic landscapes, and iconic Moai statues make it one of the most isolated and romantic places on earth.

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC
