From Puerto Montt, the Carretera Austral, or “Southern Highway”, stretches over 1000km south through the wettest, greenest, wildest and narrowest part of Chile. Carving its path through tracts of untouched wilderness, the route takes in soaring, snowcapped mountains, Ice Age glaciers, blue-green fjords, turquoise lakes and rivers, and one of the world’s largest swaths of temperate rainforest.

Isla Magdalena
Magdalena Island was first discovered in 1520 by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, as a part of his global circumnavigation route. If you have a soft spot for penguins, this is the place for you. Just off the coast of Punta Arenas, this is an excellent spot to see our waddling little amigos. This is the Magellan penguin hangout in Chile. The most amazing thing is that they are totally friendly and not scared of human beings, so you can get up close and personal! These fabulous furry birds are more than happy to check you out so we recommend that you do the same!
Carretera Austral
This road is possible one of the most off the beaten destinations in the world. The remote location has many national parks to stop off at along the way and a variety of activities to see and do. This incredible road connects the remote and rugged Patagonia, with the rest of Chile. The Austral road will take you through areas of fjords, glacial lakes, dense forests and you can rent a car, take public transport or even hitchhike! Be aware the weather isn't always compliant and delay travel plans, and some parts of the road still aren't paved. But the sights are incredible.
Torres del Paine
This is the other main attraction in Chile and why hikers from across the globe come to this incredible national park. The massive glaciers, the enormous peaks, the crystalline lakes and the lush forests are just some of the reasons as to why this is one of the most beautiful places to hike. Nothing really prepares you for your first view of the Torres del Paine national park. The Paine Massif is the unforgettable centrepiece that appears beyond the turquoise lakes, long before you get close to it and why so many people visit this stunning park.
The Marble Caves
One of the highlights of the "Carretera Austral" are the Marble caves. You will need to head out to Puerto Tranquilo and either take a boat to see the caves or kayak around these spectacular works of natural art, but either way, these caves are unique and a sight to behold. The mixture of turquoise, green and blue colours of the caves are extra-special. However, when you look down below the crystalline water is when the real deal starts: The rock formations below the water are immense and just as dramatic as most of Patagonia.
We have spent 10 days in Peru on a school trip and Valencia Travel was the local partner. We were very pleased with the itinerary and the support from our guides and drivers. We spent several days in Cusco, then went to a local Cacao Farm and after of course Aguas Calientes. Everyone in the group had a great time and our guide Ronaldo tried his best to ensure all needs were met.

Best travel guide and company for our family trip to Machu Picchu
Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) did the short Inka trail to Machu Picchu and our guide Carlos Caceres was the best! He made our trip to Machu Picchu very special and memorable. He was very experienced, kind, patient and always made sure we were taken care of. The trip went so smoothly because of Carlos. From making sure we got on trains to buses to trail crossings to restaurants in town, he was always on top of it. Highly recommend Valencia Travel Cusco and Carlos as your guide. We were grateful for everything.

Everyday was a wonderful adventure
We have just finished 14 days in Peru with Valencia Travel. We had Ronaldo as our guide. Everyday was a wonderful adventure, made all the better by Ronaldo’s extensive knowledge of Peru and the Inca’s and his wonderful care of our group. Ronaldo is a gifted tour guide who brought Peru to life - the culture, the history and the vibrancy of the people. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic
We went on a short Inka Trail hike with Valencia Travel Cusco for 2 days. Private tour - just my husband and me and our fantastic guide Nicholson. It was an amazing experience- from the first meet up to talk about the details until our trip back to Cusco. Perfectly organized. We had a wonderful time. Nicholson made sure that we enjoy every minute of this trip. He provided support , motivation and encouragement. He made sure we always felt comfortable and could enjoy the trail in our pace. We learned a lot and made great memories. Those days were the highlight of our time in Peru and Nicholson made it very special.

Our guide Louis was the best guide ever! The sourroundings where really amazing and all the team made the Inka trail a super adventure. I got problem with the altitude and Louis made the differens to make the 4-day excursion an extraordinary experience. The last day he also guided at the stunning Machu Picchu - that was a lifetime dream coming true - and Louis made it even better.

Fantastic experience with great guide
Our family hiked the Inca Trail in July 2026. We had been looking forward to this trek for a long time and had very high expectations. However, everything we experienced — from the breathtaking nature to the exceptional service provided by the tour operator — far exceeded even our wildest dreams. It was absolutely amazing! We were fortunate to have an outstanding guide, Louis, a talented chef, Julio, and a team of 10 porters supporting our family of four. The level of service we received throughout the entire journey was truly world-class. I highly recommend Valencia Travel in Cusco, and especially Guide Louis, to anyone who wants to experience this incredible adventure. Andreas, Sweden

Great adventure
Ruben was extra ordinary and highlight of the tour he went above and beyond There are no words to describe his generosity. Very happy to do the tour. He was the highlight. And the coach to Puno 10 hr journey was super comfortable. Flight schedule was poor. And hotel were on a good location but basic.

Machu Picchu
My partner and I have had Machu Picchu on our bucket list for many years, and we were finally able to experience not only Machu Picchu but so many other incredible sights across Peru through TripADeal. Although one of our day trips was cancelled due to some poor management on TripADeal’s behalf, I want to give a massive shout-out to our guide, Ruben. He made our adventure around Peru a truly amazing experience. We were part of a large group, and while there were a few hiccups along the way, Ruben handled everything with remarkable calm, professionalism, and ease. I would definitely recommend Ruben as a guide for any expedition my friends or family may decide to embark on. We give Ruben 4.5 stars for making our Peru experience so memorable.
