Highlights

Swap the city for one of the wildest stretches of Chile's Pacific coast. Ritoque is one of the few places near Santiago where you can ride through pine forest, across open sand dunes and onto a long, empty beach, all in the same afternoon. You'll ride calm, well-trained horses with local guides who know every trail. The pace is set by your group: first-timers walk and trot comfortably, and experienced riders can pick it up on the sand when the guide says conditions are right. No riding experience needed. After the ride, we fire up a classic Chilean BBQ by the coast, with grilled meats, fresh salads and bread, and time to slow down and take in the view. Small group of up to 8 travelers, round-trip transport from Santiago and a bilingual guide (English, Spanish, Portuguese) included. Just bring a windbreaker, sunscreen and closed shoes.

About Santiago

Santiago, Chile's capital, sits in a broad valley beneath the snowy Andes, a city of hilltop parks, bohemian neighbourhoods and vineyards close by.

The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.

Top-ranked sights in Santiago: Viña del Mar, Plaza de Armas, La Moneda Palace (Palacio de la Moneda).
