Air Canada Vacations is expanding its South America offerings with new guided tours in Chile, providing Canadian travellers with a diverse range of cultural experiences and scenic landscapes.

The latest additions include multi-country options featuring destinations such as Peru and Colombia, complementing the company’s existing ePackages (Flight & Hotel) and Flight & Cruise vacation offerings.

Travellers can now book these packages, with departures from Toronto to Santiago (SCL) available five times a week. Connecting flights from more than 50 Canadian airports make the new tours accessible nationwide, thanks to Air Canada’s extensive network.

The Chile tour program includes seven fully guided itineraries, blending air, land, and sea travel across the country’s most iconic locations. Highlights include the Atacama Desert, Altiplanic Lagoons, Patagonia’s dramatic peaks and the famed Moai statues on Easter Island. Additionally, one of the program’s standout experiences is a visit to the legendary Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu.

Each tour package features daily breakfast and select meals, guaranteed departures for a minimum of two participants and accommodation options ranging from three-star hotels to luxury stays. Travellers can also earn Aeroplan points. Tours are conducted in English, with French-speaking guides available upon request for an additional fee.

The Chile program offers three distinct tour categories:

• Chile in All Its Glory Tours (8 days, 6 nights): These itineraries combine cultural exploration with natural wonders, covering Santiago’s vibrant city life, the Atacama Desert’s Moon and Mars Valleys, Rainbow Valley and Altiplanic Lagoons.

• Chile and South America Trilogy Tours (13-16 days): These extended tours explore Chile, Peru and Colombia, with stops in Santiago, Easter Island, Bogotá’s historical sites, Torres del Paine, Machu Picchu and the Atacama Desert.
