Art you can wear
Three collections: the new season of T-shirts featuring Chile's native wildlife (puma, condor, huemul deer, flamingo and marine otter) among flowers; crew-neck sweatshirts with fine-line landscapes that tell the story of each place; and T-shirts that turn destinations into artworks inspired by great masters like Van Gogh. Every piece carries the Chile Memories flower inside the collar.

About us
A narrow, extreme country full of contrasts. You have to experience it up close to understand it.
Matías Clares RiveraFounder · Adventure tour guide
Chile sits on plates that never stop moving. Here you feel every force of nature: the dryness of Atacama, the rain and wind of Patagonia, the mystery of the islands and the constant presence of the Andes.
Chile Memories was born to tell that story. We design private experiences, create wearable art with local workshops and take students to learn in nature through the Reconnecting with Nature programme, together with DivertiProf.

Real trips, with our travellers
Photos from our trips.
What does each experience include?
Everything listed on its page: host guide, transfers, entrance fees and the activities shown, plus our support before and during the trip. Accommodation and meals when the page says so.
Who goes with us during the trip?
Always a Chile Memories host guide, who travels with you for the whole trip and coordinates every detail. For activities that call for it, such as rafting, surfing, mountain trekking, tastings or flights, specialist guides and instructors join in, depending on what you want to do.
Do you arrange accommodation?
Yes. We choose and manage your accommodation, from apartments and houses to hotels, in locations we know first-hand. That's why some reviews mention the place where guests stayed.
What if I need to cancel?
It depends on how much notice you give us: more than 60 days before, we refund 90% of what you paid. See the details in our booking and cancellation policy.
How do I book?
Choose the experience, tell us the date and how many are travelling, and send your request from its page or by WhatsApp. We confirm availability and every detail before you book.
How much does an experience cost?
Every experience is private and prepared for your group and your date. We send you a complete proposal with everything included, no fine print.
What if the weather changes?
We adapt the route to the day's conditions. If an activity isn't safe, we suggest an alternative.
Are the tours private?
Yes. All our experiences are private: only your group travels, 1 to 4 people, never with strangers, and always with your host guide.
Can I travel solo?
Of course. We design experiences from 1 person upwards, with the same care as for a couple or a family.
What languages are the tours in?
Spanish and English.
Can I combine several destinations in one trip?
Yes. We build routes that combine, for example, Santiago, Atacama and Patagonia, with transfers, accommodation and activities all coordinated by us.
Do you work with travel agencies?
Yes. As a destination management company (DMC), we operate services in Chile for international agencies and tour operators. Write to us and we'll tell you how we work.
