Travel Mission Statement:

Thank you for your interest in Expediciones Chile. We hope to make your trip the experience of a lifetime. We have worked hard to make sure that the processes of planning a trip and traveling are enjoyable, safe and reliable. Years of experience with different travel routes through South America have taught us the best ways to get here. Provided is all the information to address any travel need and ensure everything goes to plan.

For most of our trips, the best strategy upon arrival in South America is to continue onwards, traveling deeper into the country to our trip pick up point the evening before being picked up by Expediciones Chile. It is important to plan flights with air carriers arriving in South America as early as possible in order to make all connections to the final destination by late afternoon or early evening. Spend the evening catching up on sleep, relaxing, dinning and getting ready for the start of the adventure the following morning. If travelers have the time and plan to spend additional time in South America before arriving at the trip pick up point, then it is possible to choose any international flight regardless of its arrival time. We also recommend spending a night at your trip drop off point before your return travel. This allows you to start your day of return travel with all the available travel options of that day. You

Curiously, Futaleufu, Chile is best accessed through Argentina with its more developed transportation system. The destination is the little mountain village of Trevelin, Argentina in a valley surrounded by the towering Andes, the Futaleufu River and near the border between both countries. In addition, entering Chile at this remote border crossing circumvents visa fees that Chile normally charges at the Santiago International airport. IF one is already in Chile, arrangements can be made to arrive in Futaleufu departing very early morning from Puerto Montt Chile.

If one is traveling to Torres del Paine after a trip in Futaleufú, we recommend coming in through Trevelin, Argentina and returning to Trevelin after the trip. From Trevelin one can access the daily flight from Bariloche to Calafate. Spending a night in Calafate, Argentina is interesting and is a 4 hour bus ride away from Puerto Natales, Chile a pick up point for our Torres trip. After the Torres trip one can return home flying out through Chile with minimum extra cost. If your trip is direct to Torres del Paine, we recommend flying in and out through Chile.

Exchile.com is not financially responsible for travel complications getting to or from the trip pick up point, but we are relentless and well connected allies in helping correct any issues or problems along the way. If you have additional questions, please feel free to email or call.
