Explore the Chilean wilds on bold excursions into the mountainous landscape around the exclusive Las Majadas Hotel, where you will luxuriate between adventures and partake in wine tastings, spa services, cooking classes and more if you wish. The activities that you can select will place you in direct contact with nature, the unique flavors of the Maipo Valley and the sounds and colors of the Andes Mountain range.

Day 1

After proceeding through Immigration and Customs at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, you will meet your driver at the exit. Sit back and relax on the approximately one-hour private transfer to Las Majadas, a truly unique hotel, inspired by nature and located in the Pirque region.

The estate that Las Majadas occupies has been part of Pirque’s history since the 16th century. One of its owners constructed the Pirque Canal that carries water from the Maipo River through the valley and another built the French chateau-like palace at Las Majadas in the early 20th century. A centenary park with more than a thousand trees, including sequoias, palms and Lebanese cedars surrounds the property.

The modern Las Majadas hotel, where you will stay for four evenings, opened in 2016. Its minimalist interior offers quite the contrast to the ornate palace also located on the grounds, which is used for special events and certain hotel activities. The Sequoia Restaurant within the hotel provides an extraordinary gastronomic experience in an intimate setting. The Kura Spa offers a multitude of treatments and massages to soothe body and soul.

After check-in, which begins around 3:00pm, the remainder of the day will be yours to enjoy as you please.Based on your arrival time, you may choose 1 half-day excursion for the afternoon, but also will be able to choose your activities for the next days, which can be 2 half-day excursions or 1 full day excursion.

Available options can be viewed on the website: https://www.lasmajadas.cl/en/programas/full-board-program/

Take note of the activity level as some require walking great distances at high altitudes.

The knowledgeable Excursion Team at the hotel will be able to give you a complete list of all the experiences and excursions available while you are there. Pre-booking is not required.

Excursions. Numerous spectacularly scenic hikes and treks are available through valleys, into the mountains and foothills, to ancient glaciers and to the Maipo River. Horseback riding, vineyard visits, cooking, grilling and cocktail making classes are also available on select days of the week. Choose the ones that sound most interesting to you.

Note: Please take in consideration that some excursions are weather dependent.

Wine talks (fee). Taste three wines from Maipo Valley vineyards in the Las Majadas wine cellar. Executive Director of Vinifera and Sommelier Gonzalo Rojas Aguilera will share his knowledge of the wines to enhance the experience.

Meditation classes. Free daily.

Tavern on site, open Fridays and Saturdays or if the property is at full occupancy. Sip a cocktail or glass of wine from a Maipo Valley vineyard, the perfect complement to live music in this 100-year-old bar. When the tavern is not open, there is another bar located in the main hotel.

Sequoia Restaurant. Enjoy an unmatched gastronomic experience with dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, complemented by local wines.

Piano Bar. Sip a signature cocktail or a glass of local wine as the pianist plays favorite songs.

Kura Spa (fee). Relax in a calming environment with a massage, aromatherapy, hot stone treatments and other therapies.

Note:

There will not be a guide staying with the group at the hotel; however, during your stay you will be assigned a Regent representative whose contact details will be provided to you with his/her name and number should you require anything that the hotel staff cannot assist with.

DAY 2 (Day 2 and 3 may be reversed depending on winery hours of operation)

After breakfast, join an exclusive RSSC group tour for an enlightening visit to Haras de Pirque. This vineyard is in one of the finest wine-producing areas of the Maipo Valley at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The wines produced here typically feature a high concentration of tannins, great structure and intense color. The native vegetation of myrtles and boldos sometimes impart the wines with balsamic characteristics.

The winery itself has been unique designed in a horseshoe shape paying homage to the thoroughbred farm that is located a short distance away. The winery is located on a hillside and was designed to integrate gravity flow technology into all phases of wine production limiting the use of mechanical pumps. As a result, the grapes are handled as gently as possible extracting only the softest tannins and preserving balance and precision.

Today, all the wines and vineyards of Haras de Pirque are organic and certified by the CERES institute which means that only environmentally friendly products are used in the production process.

You will be shown the wine-making process and will taste several of the most distinctive wines. Lunch at the winery follows, after which you will return to the hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure perhaps to partake in one of the activities offered through the hotel or pamper yourself at the spa.

Dinner will be served later in the evening.

Special Notes:

This program begins in Lima, Peru and ends in San Antonio, Chile where guests will board the ship. Arriving flights must be booked into the Lima International Airport. The program includes the international flight from Lima to Santiago. All flight schedules are subject to change up to the time of departure by the airline. Please ensure passport details are added to your booking right away for the purchase of Machu Picchu entry tickets.

As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests should consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1

After flying into Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel which is located in the heart of Lima.

Enjoy the day at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

Should your flight arrive early in the morning you may wish to book an extra night, so your room is ready upon your arrival. Hotel check in time is at 3:00pm. Early check-in cannot be guaranteed, and day rooms must be booked independently.

This evening, please re-pack your bags accordingly as luggage storage for excess luggage will be available at the hotel from Days 2-5. Any luggage to be left in storage should be properly labelled with your name and suite number on the ship. Don’t forget to take any valuables, medications and documents with you.

DAY 2

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for a flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, embark on a city tour of Cusco.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continue to the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress.

Next, visit Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After visiting the city and sights, check into the J.W. Marriott El Convento Hotel. Dinner is on your own.

NOTE: All of the rooms at the J.W. Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

DAY 3

Following breakfast, drive further into the “Sacred Valley of the Incas” to Ollantaytambo Fortress which you will visit before proceeding to Ollantaytambo station where you will board The First Class Train. Brunch will be served during the journey, as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous “Lost City of the Incas.” Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Hiram Bingham Train back towards Ollantaytambo. Dinner is served aboard the train. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to your hotel in Cusco for the night.

DAY 4

After breakfast, you will visit a rural Andean highland community to meet the Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers. Learn of their traditions and how these people live today in the Andean countryside.

The welcoming villagers will offer a demonstration of textile technique and design which is an essential feature of Peruvian life. While sharing their knowledge with us, they will reveal the symbolic meanings encoded into their cloth and styles of dress. Also visit their kitchens and see how they prepare their food on wood-fired mud-brick stoves.

You will also learn about the heart of the Andean agricultural cycle - as vital today as it was in Inca times - as your Quechua hosts show you how they hand-turn the soil on the mountainsides. They will also invite the group to join them in blessing their earth, their animals, and the new-plowed land.

On the way back to Cusco, stop for lunch. Upon returning to your hotel in Cusco, the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Dinner is included at the hotel.

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Cusco Airport for a flight to Lima.

Return to the same hotel where you stayed on Day 1. Here you will be re-united with any stored luggage.

Meals other than breakfast are on your own today.

Experience the natural and architectural wonders of Chile by driving through the majestic Andes, exploring cities such as colonial Valparaiso and the capital of Santiago, and by tasting some of the country’s premier wines.

Day 1

After proceeding through immigration and customs at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, your local guide will meet you at the exit number 3 and will take you to your transportation, then directly to your hotel in Santiago.

Check in is at 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed.

The day is at your leisure with any meals on your own.

Day 2

After breakfast, you will board a coach and begin a tour that will include the most important highlights of historical and modern Santiago, including the presidential palace, San Francisco Church and the Plaza de Armas with a visit to the Cathedral.

You will then proceed to the Santa Rita Vineyard, located just 45 minutes away from Santiago. Placed in the foothill zone of Alto Jahuel, in Buin, the vineyard is surrounded by an extraordinary natural environment. The tour will reveal the characteristic wines produced here.

Afterwards, you will pause for lunch at Restaurant Doña Paula. This national monument honors Paula Jaraquemada, who owned the main house of the Santa Rita Estate more than 200 years ago.

The estate was the setting for significant historical occurrences associated to Chile’s independence. General Bernardo O’Higgins and 120 soldiers took refuge there after a battle against the forces of the Spanish crown. The winery’s Santa Rita 120 line of products was named to honor those 120 patriots.

After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Santiago. The evening will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

Day 3

After breakfast, you will enjoy a scenic drive towards the Andes mountain range for a tour of Portillo, which is considered one of the best ski resorts of the world. Along the way, you will pass through the fertile Aconcagua Province and stop briefly at the monument to the Battle of Chacabuco, which signifies the independence of Chile.

As you begin your journey into the Andes, weather permitting, you may be able to see Mount Aconcagua in the distance. As you climb higher, you will surely be impressed as the mountainous scenery unfolds and the guide explains the natural history of the Andes.

Portillo is located at high above sea level next to the Laguna del Inca with its emerald green waters. The World Ski Championship was held here in 1966 – the only one held in South America until 1990. You will stop at the lake for photos and to enjoy lunch at a restaurant before returning to Santiago.

Back at the hotel, the evening will be at your leisure with dinner is on your own.

Day 4

After breakfast and check out, you will head towards colonial Valparaiso, which UNESCO deemed a World Heritage site for being an excellent representation of late 19th-century urban development. As you drive through the city’s steep winding streets, you will pass the Parliament building, Fisherman’s Wharf, Plaza Sotomayor and the Naval Academy. You will also ride a cable car to a lookout that presents sweeping views over the city and bay.

Afterwards, you will drive to the port of San Antonio for embarkation.

Enjoy one evening unwinding in Chile’s capital city Santiago and then spend the next three wonderfully relaxing days and nights doing whatever you please at the Colchagua Valley’s most extraordinary hotel and winery, where the options include a cooking class, wine tastings, horseback riding and enjoying the boundless amenities.

Note: Due to the number of steps required to access Vina Vik hotel and the bungalow rooms, this program is not available for guests who require the use of a wheelchair.

DAY 1

After proceeding through Immigration and Customs at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, you will meet your driver inside the terminal after main exit, close to gate N° 3. You will then be transferred directly to the Ritz Carlton Hotel or similar.

Check in upon arrival has been included in the cost of the program.

The remainder of the day will be at leisure and meals are on your own.

The hotel is located within walking proximity to a variety of restaurants and bars. Your hotel concierge will be happy to assist with any dinner recommendations and reservations.

Note: There can be up to a 10-12-minute walk depending on your arrival gate to get to Customs and Immigration. Our local team will be waiting for you as you exit the luggage claim area.

DAY 2

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will be met and transferred (2.5-3-hour drive depending on traffic) to the Colchagua Valley, whose name in the local indigenous language means “valley of small lagoons”. The land was originally the home of Mapuche warrior tribes and later marked the southern boundary of the Inca Empire.

Upon reaching Millahue (in the Cachapoal Valley), you will arrive at Viña Vik, an architecturally extraordinary hotel and winery. A visionary blend of wine, architecture, landscape and luxury, this property has always placed innovation and science at the center of everything it does.

Much of the hotel is built into the natural landscape and capped with an incredible undulating titanium roof that can be seen from miles around. From the winery below and when the sun is shining, the roof appears to be made of gold. This stunning feature was built this way to pay homage to the valley which was nicknamed “Lugar de Oro or Golden Place” by the native Mapuche people. Norwegian entrepreneur Alexander Vik, with his keen eye for designing stunning buildings, has truly created a property that is like no other.

The hotel features twenty-two individually decorated and distinctive suites and seven bungalows with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the breath-taking views. Decorated according to individual themes, the suites and bungalows feature exclusive art and design, from elegant pieces of furniture to inspired murals and decorations, as well as exquisite sculptures and paintings. Your luxurious Pura Vik Bungalow includes 360-degree views, a terrace and private hot tub.

Upon arrival, your visit will start with a tour and tasting of the renowned wines of Vik Winery. As you look around the entire property you will see 4,400 hectares of astonishing Chilean wilderness in which only approximately 327 hectares of vines have been planted. This majestic and natural landscape is composed of 12 valleys, each one with its own micro-climate, distinct exposures, all within a wind-tunnel cooled by Pacific coastal breezes and winds from high up in the Andes mountains that provide VIK with enormous complexity and exceptional variety.

After your tour of the winery, you will proceed to the hotel for check in and lunch at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Following a short tour to become acquainted with the amenities of the hotel, you will spend the remainder of the day participating in whichever activity you choose.

Throughout your stay, take time to unwind at the cantilevered slate pool that extends out over the valleys and the lake below. (Insider tip: The sunsets are quite spectacular from the pool deck!). Enjoy delicious meals that are served in a variety of settings, from the indoor dining room to the expansive outdoor terraces that look out onto the valley, lake and vineyard or even in their newly opened and rustic “garden to table” BBQ restaurant.

At the spa, you may wish to pamper yourself and indulge in a massage, facial or body scrub using products made from grapes grown on the property (additional cost) and in the evening perhaps enjoy stargazing beneath incredibly clear night skies.

Optional activities that are included during your stay are:

•Orchard tour with seeds and flower tasting

•Wine tasting paired with creamy chocolates

•Mixology class

•Bicycling, hiking and bird watching

•Enjoying the hotel sauna, swimming pool and game room

Additional activities may be available for purchase. Your Vina Vik Concierge will be able to assist in setting up your schedule.

Note: There may be other hotel guests participating in the same experiences.

Later in the day, dinner will be provided at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Another insider tip: Be sure to check out the “art wall” in the restaurant – see if you can spot the RSSC logo and don’t be afraid to add your own personal touch!

Note: There are approximately 25-30 steps up to enter the hotel from the vehicle drop off area. Pura Vik Bungalows at Vina Vik are separate from the main building and along with the 25-30 steps to go down once you exit the main building, there is also a downward sloping brick paved driveway and then approximately 8-10 steps down to reach each bungalow.

Transfer note: For guests who would prefer a quicker transfer, the hotel has a helicopter pad and transfers may be arranged independently from Santiago to the hotel.

DAY 3

After breakfast, the RSSC group will set out on a horseback ride along trails with immediate views of the vineyard and mountains. On the ride, note how the winery building has been designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape and can barely be seen over the vines depending on your vantage point. After returning, refresh and then proceed to a cooking class activity. This experience includes a visit to the organic vegetable garden, where guests will be able to hand pick the various ingredients that will later be used in the cooking class. The experience ends with a tasting of the dishes paired with Vik’s iconic wines.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure. Choose to relax or participate in one of the optional activities. Please consult with the hotel concierge for a list of your included optional activities operating on this day.

Dinner is included at Mila Mila Restaurant.

Note: Horseback ride is not mandatory but is included for our group. The ride is slow and easy around the vineyard with several stops along the way for photos should you wish, therefore previous experience is not necessary. Please check with Reception for meeting location and time.

DAY 4

After breakfast, the day can be spent doing whatever you wish. Please consult with the hotel concierge for a list of your included optional activities operating on this day. We recommend enjoying lunch at the restaurant adjacent to the winery for lunch.

This evening, enjoy a BBQ Countryside group dinner to crown your visit at Viña VIK Hotel.

DAY 5

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, bid farewell to your Vik hosts and drive towards the San Antonio terminal where you will check in for your cruise. Drive time is approximately 2.5-3 hours depending on traffic.

Once you arrive at the Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas airport, a staff member from The Singular Patagonia, Puerto Bories Hotel, will greet you and assist in your transfer to the hotel.

Following check-in, you will have time to relax, freshen up and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, you will tour the cold storage plant adjoining the hotel. The plant once stored goods such as meat and wool that would later be exported to Europe. When constructed more than a century ago, it was the most important cold storage plant in all of Patagonia and it has since been declared a national monument.

Much of the plant’s antique machinery is still intact including the boiler rooms, condensers and blacksmiths’ forges. The dock on the waterway that leads to the sea is also original.

A bit of leisure time follows, during which you might luxuriate in the hotel’s spa (at own cost) or read and hear about the excursions that will be available over the next few days. You may discuss the options over dinner at the hotel before retiring for the evening.

DAY 3

Note: all excursions are weather dependent. The navigation is shared with other guests from the same hotel.

Following breakfast in the hotel’s Desayunador restaurant, which overlooks, Señoret Channel, you will depart from the hotel dock and cruise toward the Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers. Along the way, you may observe colonies of sea lions and other animal species as wildlife is abundant.

You will disembark in the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, the largest such park in Chile. After a short hike, you will reach the closest viewpoint of the Serrano glacier, which is part of the Southern Ice Field. You will have plenty of opportunities to snap photos as the guide describes how glaciers form and change over time.

Continuing on, you will cruise to the front of Balmaceda, a hanging glacier whose ice flow abruptly ends at the edge of a mountain precipice. It will be quite the sight.

Lunch follows at a working ranch, where you might horseback ride or hike before returning to the hotel by early evening. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure other than having dinner at the hotel.

Note: you may encounter walking on gravel and dirt terrain, difficulty is basic. Less than 1km of walking.

DAY 4

Note: as there are different options to visit Torres del Paine, depending on the level of difficulty, guests may need to share the van with other guests from the same hotel. Also, in case guests wish to take another excursion offered in the daily menu, they can do so, and they will share with other guests of the same hotel.

Tour selections are made while you are at the hotel. We cannot take selections in advance.

The options include:

• Trekking to the Base of the Towers

For guests that wish to be challenged by a demanding hike to the closest point of the Torres del Paine towers. The trek takes about 8 hours. It starts at Valle Ascencio, continues by Monte Almirante Nieto to the Refugio Chileno mountain hostel, through the forests of Nothofagus and then on a steep rocky incline before arriving at the base of the towers. If weather conditions and visibility permit, you will see the central, north and south towers.

Explore the Masphi Reserve cloud forest in adventurous ways of your own choosing and discover the charms of Quito, two destinations recognized by UNESCO for their unique characteristics and historical importance.

DAY 1

On arrival at the Quito International Airport, proceed through Immigration, collect your luggage, and clear Customs. Afterwards, you will meet our local representative and transfer to your hotel near the airport.

Check in is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have your room available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed. Should you have an early flight, you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is ready upon your arrival.

Meals are on your own today.

DAY 2

After breakfast, meet your guide and head towards Mitad del Mundo, a commemorative site built on the equator where you can straddle two hemispheres at the same time.

Visit the Intiñan Ethnographic Museum, which reveals the history, customs, and lifestyle of Ecuador´s pre-Columbian indigenous people. It also offers interactive demonstrations of the area’s geography, magnetism, and natural science.

You will continue to Mashpi Lodge in the western slopes of the Andes. This is truly a destination where nature meets luxury, a boutique hotel designed with plenty of windows to give guests a front-row seat to one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.

Located on a scenic plateau in the heart of a biosphere reserve, Mashpi Lodge features breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest and mountains and the unique ecosystems within them. Every detail, from its architectural grandeur to its sophisticated interiors, allows guests to be deeply immersed in the splendor of nature through its expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows.

Mashpi Lodge is far more than a five-star hotel in an exquisite location; it also provides access to the Mashpi Reserve and a research station that is at the forefront of rainforest protection and education.

You will have the opportunity to join a variety of unforgettable tours including bird watching. More than 400 avian species have been catalogued in the reserve, 35 of which are not found anywhere else on Earth. You can also visit the hummingbird garden, the observation tower, life center, butterfly farm and interactive laboratory. Other options include a day or evening hike and a Sky Bike tour above the forest canopy.

Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch and get comfortably settled in your room. One of the naturalists will then provide a brief introductory talk about the cloud forest and its conservation, the available activities, and helpful tips about what to wear and what to bring on the excursions.

In the afternoon, if you choose, gather in the lobby, and proceed to the Napa Trail, which cuts through areas where the forest is regenerating large patches of pristine forest. Along the way, you will learn about the ecological succession and the importance of forest conservation for the Chocó region.

This trail also possesses great scenic beauty and is good for bird watching. Towards the end of the trail, you will find a unique forest of iron palm, whose wood is used mostly in the construction of houses. The trail is of moderate difficulty and the guided walk takes approximately two hours.

Upon your return, dinner will be served at the lodge. Mashpi’s gastronomic identity is inspired by the native ingredients and organic items foraged in the forest such as wild garlic and chillangua, a cilantro-like herb. The cuisine is prepared using modern techniques, yet still pays homage to Ecuador’s rich culinary heritage.

The team at Mashpi Lodge have also prepared a series of evening lectures for guests that wish to learn more about the cloud forest ecology. Lectures include “The Secret Wildlife of Mashpi,” “The Camera Trap Project” and “Chocó, a Biological Hotspot.” These lectures will be given by one of the naturalists or a resident biologist.

Every experience at Mashpi is tailored to your interests and ability levels. When you arrive at the lodge, you will see a chart with all the available activities. Adjustments can be made at any time along the way, ensuring that you have the experience of a lifetime.

DAY 3

The below represents a sample of the activities that you may wish to participate in.

Enjoy a 15-minute walk to the Sky Bike and observation tower. The tower presents the protected forest in all its glory. With a height of 30 meters (100 feet), this elevated vantage point allows you to appreciate the complex structure of the forest and the biodiversity of species that inhabit the treetops. To reach the top, you must climb up 162 steps, but the views are well worth the effort.

The Sky Bike makes for an original and exciting way to explore the forest canopy up close. It is designed for two people to use at once, with one person pedaling the bike along a cable stretched between two points in the forest, crossing a gorge above a river between the rocks and trees below. Silent, easy-to-use, and fun, it is an activity that provides a chance to observe the natural world close to the lodge.

The Sky Bike ride takes no more than 10 minutes. It can be a roundtrip adventure, or you may walk back to the lodge along one of the beautiful forest trails.

The Oxibelis trail takes you to a small waterfall and then back to the lodge. Another alternative for those in very good physical condition is taking the Limones trail, which has some steep points, to the San Vicente´s waterfall, after 45 minutes away.

Once you return to the lodge, you will be offered a refreshing natural juice drink and fresh towels before lunch.

In the afternoon, set out for the Howler Monkeys trail and Life Center. Follow the Aulladores trail through the forest where many centenarian trees survive, the copal tree being the most emblematic.

Along this trail your local guide will listen to the sounds in the forest to point out fauna such as tropical birds and howler monkeys. The accompanying naturalist will speak to you about the ecology and conservation of the forest. Both will share their extensive knowledge of forest plants and their uses.

At the Life Center, you will see birds, rodents, and other mammals, most of which visit the fruit feeders along the expansive wooden deck. The Life center is conceived as a place for learning and discovery, but also where guests can be at one with nature.

Inside the Life Center guests will learn more about the butterflies that inhabit the region and see the process of their stages from eggs to larva or caterpillar to chrysalis or pupa to winged wonder. Other points of learning include the species of host plants such as passion flowers, birds of paradise and milk weed used by the butterflies to lay their eggs and feed the larvae. Nearby, there is an area for growing useful plants, bushes, and trees such as banana and plantain, manioc, cacao, hot chili pepper, coffee, and wild raspberries.

Before dinner, you may wish to take part in an invigorating one-hour evening tour. At night the forest is transformed completely, the sounds and smells become more intense, and your senses will be heightened as you follow the guide along the forest path.

Turn off your flashlight and observe the sparkling of fireflies in the woods, listen to the flutter of bats and look for the faint glow of bioluminescent fungi such as foxfire or fairy fire on the ground. Hear the call of owls and night birds and the rustling of the branches above you as the kinkajous, an arboreal mammal related to raccoons, race through the treetops searching for ripe fruits.

Back at the lodge, enjoy a delicious dinner.

DAY 4

The below represents another sample of the activities that you may wish to participate in.

Mashpi Lodge offers a haven to bird enthusiasts seeking to view the species that inhabit the beautiful Choco Bioregion, a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

For instance, every morning starting at 6:00am, guests can go to the lodge rooftop terrace where freshly baked snacks and hot coffee, tea and chocolate are set out, along with spotting scopes and binoculars. As the day breaks, the air fills with the sounds of hundreds of birds, many of which are perched in the trees and vegetation in the immediate surroundings of the lodge, allowing guests to often see incredibly rare species without leaving the lodge.

Mashpi’s Dragonfly is an excellent way to witness the reserve’s most exceptional and magical moments. This open-air cable car system carries you across and sometimes even directly through the forest canopy, offering guests a relaxing way to enjoy the reserve from overhead. There are two main stations, six towers and an intermediate station where guests can get on and off if they wish. The guides can stop the gondola at any point to allow visitors to observe any flora and fauna that catches your eye. An entire roundtrip takes approximately 40 minutes to complete. Each of the four gondolas can carry up to four guests and one guide.

Lunch and dinner are served at the lodge in between activities.

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, you will meet our local representative for the nearly 3-hour road transfer to Quito.

Quito was an important trading center long before Spanish colonizers arrived, and one of the best places to see artifacts and art from these pre-Columbian times is Casa del Alabado. This fantastic museum holds a collection representing most of the societies that have ever inhabited the area now known as Ecuador. This exhibition gives you a sense of the artistic and intellectual depth of this land’s inhabitants.

A sightseeing tour of the city will show off some of the reasons why Ecuador's capital earned its honor as the first UNESCO World Heritage site. Marvel at San Francisco Church and its museum of religious art, and visit bustling Independence Plaza, flanked by the Presidential Palace and Quito Cathedral. Rich in art treasures, fine woodcarvings, and flowering balconies, it is the historical center of Quito.

During the tour, enjoy lunch in a restaurant before checking in to your hotel. After some time to freshen up, you will visit the magnificent La Compañía de Jesus, a baroque-style church adorned with seven tons of gold leaf. Inside, you will find an interior meant to resemble paradise as the gold shines brightly into the church, strategically illuminating the altar.

You will then enjoy an exclusive visit into the heart of the complex, passing through centuries year-old doors and hallways. You will come face to face with the imposing domes of the church, hidden so well that not even most locals have visited. Picture what the city was like hundreds of years ago as you climb up to the domes, where you will be served a cocktail while taking in the unmatched views of San Francisco Square, the Presidential Palace, and the Pichincha volcano.

You will spend the evening at Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property located in the center of Old Town. Lavishly renovated, it was once the home of several presidents and is steeped in rich history.

DAY 6

After breakfast, transfer to the Quito Airport for an international flight to Santiago. Upon arrival in Santiago and after passing through Customs, Immigration and luggage claim, a representative will meet you for the transfer to your overnight hotel, the Ritz Carlton or similar. Lunch and dinner will be on your own.

NOTE: Guests are normally allowed to only check 1 suitcase; however, for this program an additional piece has been added to the cost. Therefore, guests can check in free of charge 2 suitcases with a maximum weight 50lbs (23kg). Each guest is also permitted free of charge one carry-on bag with a maximum of 15lbs (7kg).

Should guests need to check in more than 2 pieces or have any overweight luggage on the flight, they will need to pay the airline fees at the airport upon check in. The average cost is approximately $120 USD per extra suitcase and an additional $120 USD for an overweight bag. Fees are imposed by the airline and are subject to change.

DAY 7

After breakfast, you will check out and transfer to San Antonio, where you will embark the ship.

Expected Weather:

In the early morning, the weather in Mashpi is usually cloudy around the lodge, with fog rolling in and around the trees and vegetation, significantly reducing visibility. This doesn’t mean that you can´t see birds and animals, though. In fact, birdwatching at daybreak is one of the absolutely best times to see a tremendous variety of bird species and other mammals.

The fog will lift by mid-morning and the sun will start to shine through the clouds, bathing the Choco cloud forest in sunshine. The sun stays out until early afternoon, when clouds start to move in once again, blanketing the forest in shade. There is often a short shower in the afternoon, and once it stops raining it normally clears up again, although it just as often continues to rain softly into the evening. After sunset, the fog starts to roll in again, delicately enveloping Mashpi Lodge until morning.

The coldest it gets at Mashpi Lodge is 64 °F (18 °C), while the warmest it gets is 77 °F (25 °C)

What to Bring:

Quito and Chile:

• A sweater or lightweight jacket for the cooler evening temperatures in old town.

• A lightweight (preferably non-plastic) raincoat as during wet season from October to April becomes rainy mostly in the afternoon and evening.

• Comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels due to the cobbled spots in old town. Sandals may not be comfortable for some sightseeing activities.

• Sunglasses with a strap, sun block and/or hat is highly recommended for the Equator line visit.

Local Currency:

Ecuador’s local currency is US Dollars

Chile’s currency is the Chilean Peso. MasterCard, Visa, American Express are regularly accepted throughout the country.

Electricity

Ecuador uses 110-volt, 60 cycle electricity, same as the US. Plugs are typically the 2-pronged flat type so US travelers will typically not require a converter or adapter. Hotels may be able to provide adaptors however we suggest bringing your own universal travel adaptor for electric devices.

Chile operates on a 220V supply voltage. You will require a power plug adapter in Chile for sockets type C and L which differ from US plugs.

However, each program varies, and participants should be prepared to negotiate a mixture of surfaces which may include inclines, cobblestones, sand, and gravel or natural paths. There may also be a need to climb steps or stairs on occasion. Guests who utilize a wheelchair and those with mobility concerns are advised to check with the cruise line in advance to see if any portion of the tour program may not be considered suitable for their individual situation. Weather appropriate clothing; hats; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are generally recommended.
