More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The airport lights blur behind you as the van eases out of Arturo Merino Benítez and the city gives way to the first foothills. In an hour the skyline flattens and the road begins to climb, hairpins folding the world up toward slabs of granite and white slopes. Inside the air‑conditioned minivan, luggage clicks into place, a driver checks names on a placard, and the quiet tension of travel relaxes into forward motion — toward snow, toward ski lifts, toward the thin, clear air of the Andes.
