Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Santiago de Chile.
CircuitsHotelsExcursions
Santiago de Chile is the country's principal gateway and the natural starting point for most Chilean programs. Set in a central valley at the foot of the Andes, it pairs a modern urban core with heritage districts, gastronomy and museums.
Its main operational value is connectivity: it concentrates international arrivals and domestic flights to Atacama, Patagonia and Easter Island. Nearby wine valleys and Andean ski resorts extend its appeal as a short-stay or connecting destination.
Santiago has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers (December–February) and mild, wetter winters (June–August). Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures and clear views of the cordillera. Winter opens skiing at the nearby Andean resorts.
MICE & groups
Santiago offers genuine congress infrastructure and a broad hotel base with convention capacity, making it suitable for events and larger groups. The city combines meeting space, category hotels and professional support services. It is the logical host for congresses that then feed programs across the rest of the country.
Incentives
The most credible incentive experiences include private vineyard days in the Maipo and Casablanca valleys with pairings, signature dining and excursions into the cordillera. The proximity of the Andes allows day trips and winter activities. It serves as the opening act for wider programs.
Access & logistics
Reached via Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), around 20 km and 30–45 minutes from the centre depending on traffic. It is the country's main hub, with frequent domestic connections to Calama, Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas and Easter Island. Roads to the valleys and the coast are fast and well maintained.
Trade notes
Budget at least two nights for the city and one wine valley. It works as the axis for almost every Chilean program, linking Atacama, Patagonia and Easter Island. Broad fit with European, North American and Latin-American markets.

Booking & policies
Are the prices shown net or retail?
Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see a reference “from” price, indicative and subject to availability; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.
What happens after I book?
When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations are governed by the conditions stated in each quotation. The standard conditions are: more than 30 days before arrival, the deposit is non-refundable; 30 to 15 days before arrival, 50% of the total price is charged; less than 15 days before arrival or a no-show, 100%. They may vary on peak dates and depend on the policy of each hotel and service. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. Conditions stated in the quotation and accepted by the agency at booking take precedence over the general schedule in Clause 7.1 of the Terms.
Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?
Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
