Patagonia: Healing + Adventure Tour (South Chile, 15–28 February, 2025)

Embark on a transformative journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Chilean Patagonia, blending holistic wellness, cultural immersion, and thrilling outdoor adventures. This 14-day tour is a unique opportunity to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit while exploring some of Chile’s most iconic natural wonders.

The adventure begins with El Corazón del Colibrí, a vibrant holistic festival featuring over 20 daily workshops and healing activities, including opportunities to partake in traditional plant medicine ceremonies guided by indigenous shaman. Deepen your connection to ancient wisdom as you visit and stay with a local indigenous Mapuche community, where you’ll learn about their traditions and sacred relationship with nature.

Balance introspection with exhilarating outdoor experiences, such as climbing the glacial caldera of Volcán Sollipulli, soaking in the rejuvenating waters of Termas Geométricas, and participating in a tobacco offering ritual during sunset at Volcán Llaima. For photography enthusiasts, a guided tour through the stunning Parque Nacional Conguillío will capture the pristine beauty of turquoise lagoons, ancient araucaria forests, and volcanic landscapes.

*Highlights:*

‘Heart of the Hummingbird’ Holistic Festival at Sollipulli: 20+ daily wellness activities and workshops including Andes rituals, Temazcal ceremonies, flower bath, cacao ceremonies, energy cleansing, women's & men's circles, reiki, yoga flow, kundalini activation, qigong, ice bath, Mapuche sound healing, gypsy dance, tribal dance, biodanza, fire shows, reflexology, art, music, trekking. Opportunities to partake in plant medicine ceremonies lead by indigenous shaman.

Indigenous Cultural Immersion: Visit and stay with an indigenous Mapuche community on the west coast of Chile. Learn about the Mapuche culture, wisdom and way of life, and enjoy Mapuche music and food together. Visit local beaches and rivers and enjoy delicious local seafood. Meet with indigenous shaman and have the opportunity to partake in a private plant medicine ceremony for our group.

Sollipulli Volcano climb: Lead by a professional mountain guide. Unlike most volcanoes, its summit is dominated by a massive glacial ice-field nestled within a caldera, offering a unique blend of volcanic and glacial landscapes. Also enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Andes and nearby peaks, and spot wildlife such as Andean condors, foxes, and native bird species.
A Sollipulli Volcano day tour combines physical challenge, pristine wilderness, and stunning natural beauty.

Termas Geométricas: A world-class hot spring experience located in the stunning Villarrica National Park. Designed by renowned Chilean architect Germán del Sol to harmonise with the surrounding landscape, the spa features over 20 thermal pools fed by natural geothermal waters (35°C to 45°C). The pools are connected by elegant red wooden walkways that weave through a lush canyon surrounded by towering ferns, moss-covered rocks, and cascading waterfalls, creating a tranquil, almost otherworldly ambiance.

Tobacco offering & sunset at Llaima Volcano: The journey begins with a serene walk through Conguillío National Park, home to ancient araucaria forests, turquoise lagoons, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Spot Andean condors and woodpeckers.
At sunset, the adventure ascends to a viewpoint near Volcán Llaima, one of the most active volcanoes in South America. Here, the group will participate in a tobacco offering ritual, a tradition of the indigenous Mapuche culture. This ceremonial act involves offering tobacco leaves to the volcano as a gesture of respect and gratitude to the forces of nature, fostering a deeper connection with the land and its ancestral spirits.
