View Profile

In 2003, in the midst of successful professional careers in the United States, Brian Pearson and Sira Berté decided to pack up and move to South America to pursue their passions for travel and outdoor adventure. Following several months of firsthand research throughout the continent, they settled in Chile and Santiago Adventures was born. As Santiago Adventures quickly gained respect as a dependable operator with a unique product offering, we expanded our expertise, insight, and top quality standards throughout Chile & Easter Island, over the Andes into Argentina, and most recently, to Uruguay. In each destination, Santiago Adventures is proud to work with the best local guides and drivers, winery owners, outfitters, restaurants, and hotels to ensure that every client’s experience is of the highest quality in every aspect.

With Santiago Adventures, you are guaranteed an authentic, personal, and extraordinary experience from start to finish. We are Chile’s leading operator for wine tours, ski tours, and bike tours, with the broadest trip portfolios available anywhere in the country.

Personalized Service & Expertise

Our experienced team has an intimate knowledge of each of our destinations and trips and works individually with each client to provide informed, personalized recommendations to help build the absolute best adventure. Our guides and drivers have on average 8 years of experience in the industry and specialized expertise in varied fields such as wine, gastronomy, history, culture, biking, skiing, and trekking. We offer tours in English and Spanish, as well as German, French, and Portuguese.

Sustainability

At Santiago Adventures, we strive to be environmentally, economically, and culturally sustainable in all that we do. We run carbon-free tours in the Central Region of Chile and utilize carbon offsets wherever possible. We partner with local entrepreneurs and service providers to ensure our trips benefit the communities we visit. We donate time, supplies, and funds to support the local organizations Hogar Domingo Savio and Fundación Mi Parque.  Above all, we make every effort to minimize our impact in the places we travel in order to preserve for years and years to come the incredible beauty and culture we are so fortunate to experience on every one of our adventures.
