Untamed landscapes...
Inka's Empire Tours presents thoughtfully crafted, private excursions that reveal the history and landscapes of South America, and is a forerunner in combining luxury with culturally and ecologically responsible travel. Beginning and ending in Santiago, Chile, its Hotel Explora tour is a study of natural beauty in environmental extremes, and comprises two memorable sojourns -- one at the Hotel Explora en Atacama, in the Atacama Desert, and the other at the exquisite Hotel Explora en Patagonia, in the Torres del Paine National Park of Chile's Patagonia region.
Atacama may be the driest desert on earth, but it is dappled with rare forms of water. El Tatio Geysers and the ancient Atacama Salt Lake provide awe-inspiring counterpoints to the eerily silent landscape of the Valley of the Moon. In the south, Torres del Paine National Park is relatively lush and yet equally dramatic, home to glaciers and the great waterfall of Salto Grande. In both locales, the magnificent Explora hotels provide a level of service and luxury in stunning contrast to the untamed landscapes around you. Five-star accommodations in The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago are equally plush.
Celebrate a diversity of landscapes on this unique 12-night adventure.

This journey reveals three unique faces of nature...
A gracious, knowledgeable host and a curious, discriminating guest -- it's the perfect combination. Take this masterful mix, add a magical location, and you have an expedition from Inka's Empire Tours. Thoughtfully crafted and fully guided, its spectacular itineraries include the Atacama, Lakes & Torres del Paine adventure through the ecological wonders of Chile. Beginning and ending in Santiago, this journey reveals three unique faces of nature, while at the same time it indulges guests in creature comforts such as a stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago and an exclusive overnight visit to the Santa Rita Winery.
The driest desert on earth, Atacama is a paradox of unusual manifestations of water, from the small but exquisite salt ponds in the eerily silent Valley of the Moon to the lagoons of the vast and ancient Atacama Salt Lake, the oasis of San Pedro and the geysers of El Tatio. In the Lake District, volcanoes shimmer beneath the water as you cross Lake Todos los Santos. Further south, in Patagonia, you'll drive through the pampas steppes of the Magellan province, travel back a few millennia at the Milodon Cave and navigate past icebergs to massive glaciers that reside beneath the snowy spires of the Torres del Paine.
Greet Mother Nature at her finest on this exclusive 12-night adventure.

Unveils breathtaking environmental extremes...
If the art of travel were an opera, Inka's Empire Tours would be one of its most moving arias, a lyrical exploration of the majestic landscapes of the Incas. This unique company offers a compilation of masterfully designed, privately guided tours that jubilantly sing the praises of South America's history, culture and natural beauty. Beginning and ending in Santiago, the Chile's Mountains of Fire & Ice itinerary unveils the country's breathtaking environmental extremes. Not only will you travel geographically to snow-covered volcanoes and dramatic deserts, you'll travel spiritually and intellectually as you're transported into Chile's magnificent past.
From Santiago, you'll fly to the Andean volcanoes of the Altiplano in northern Chile, home to sand-preserved mummies, pre-Incan artifacts, pre-Columbian fortresses and the gorgeous Lauca National Park, which shelters the highest lake in the world. As this virtuoso adventure continues, you'll encounter the Atacama Desert with its eerily silent Valley of the Moon and four-million-year-old Atacama Salt Lake. Sail across Lake Todos los Santos on a catamaran, cruise to bucolic Great Chiloe Island and explore the penguin colony at Otway Sound before the grand finale: a journey into spectacular Torres del Paine National Park.
Discover the majesty of Chile on this remarkable 16-night encounter.

Revel in the pleasures of this exquisite journey of discovery...
When it comes to exclusive, privately escorted expeditions, Inka's Empire Tours has always offered its guests the very best in guided luxury travel. The superlatives don't end with the attractions themselves, which include such marvels as the world's highest lake (Chungara) and the earth's driest desert (Atacama). These and other amazing destinations are included in the wide ranging Grandeur of Chile exploration. Arriving in and departing from Santiago, your encounter with the beauty of nature in extreme environments begins amid the snow-covered Andean volcanoes of the Altiplano, or "Highlands," in the north of the country and finishes on legendary Easter Island.
From the Highlands, you'll descend to the Atacama Desert and such natural wonders as the eerily silent Valley of the Moon and El Tatio Geysers. In the scenic Lake District, sail across Lake Todos los Santos to the Osorno Volcano. A cruise to the bucolic Great Chiloe Island, off the mainland, precedes a visit to the penguin colony at Otway Sound and a ramble through Torres del Paine National Park. After three days exploring the enigmatic archaeological sites of Easter Island, you'll return to the mainland for a stay at the historic Santa Rita Winery.
Explore the grand natural beauty of Chile on this 21-night ecological excursion.

Ponder ancient idols and a lost civilization...
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is an open-air, archaeological museum of a fascinating but vanished culture, a stark lesson in what can happen when humans fail to live in harmony with nature. We still do not know for sure how or why the first inhabitants carved, transported and raised their monolithic stone statues, or why the "moai" gaze inland instead of out to sea. But as you walk with your private guide in the island's famed yet rarely visited sites such as the volcanic quarry where the figures were carved over a period of five centuries, you can contemplate the enigma of almost 900 mysterious idols and of the civilization that created but later tried to destroy them.
