Classic Journeys has just announced two new tours: Chile & Patagonia Walking Tour and the Belize & Guatemala Eco-Adventure Tour for 2015.

Chile is a gorgeous spectacle. Up to half of the country’s slim width is covered by the stratospheric Andes. Glaciers calve. Penguins mix with flamingos. Vineyards knit mild valleys into a neat green patchwork. Sharp spikes of snow-capped rock bite into the sky. It’s harder to capture how it feels to be wrapped in raw wilderness or to scan the expansive pampas from the porch of a secluded estancia. Many travelers plan tours in Chile just to experience the awesome variety of nature.

With Classic Journeys’ Chile & Patagonia cultural walking adventure tour, travelers can jump right in and take a walking tour of Santiago, Chile’s capital, before heading off to wine-tasting for lunch. The next day, travelers fly to Puerto Montt where they walk through national parks and see Osorno Volcano. In the coming days, stroll amongst penguins, explore the mountaintops in Torres del Paine National Park, and cruise in a boat ride right to the face of a glacier. Towards the end of the trip, travelers get the full Chilean experience by staying at a working estancia where they experience a traditional Chilean BBQ and watch the gauchos at work.

With Classic Journeys’ Belize & Guatemala eco-adventure tour, travelers begin their trip in Belize City and head right out to the rainforests where their lodge submerges them right in the surrounding ecosystems filled with local wildlife. Travelers then visit the Mayan ruins, picnic in a cave, and visit children at a local school. The tour then takes travelers to a 200-acre nature preserve in Guatemala where they can climb the tallest pyramid and boat across a lagoon to see monkeys. Rounding off the adventurous trip, travelers head back to Belize to snorkel in the world’s second largest coral reef and kayak in the mangroves while staying at a luxury resort right on the beach.
