Chile: Explore the Atacama Desert

Much more than a traditional tour operator, Global Family Travels’ mission is to “Learn, Serve and Immerse” through community-based travel programs.  In partnership with non-profit organizations and schools, we offer family-friendly and sustainable travel experiences in support of education, gender equality, access to clean water, preservation of local cultures, conservation and economic growth, all of which foster cross-cultural understanding and global citizens.  

Our trips include a unique mix of cultural and educational activities, homestays and participation in local service projects aimed at improving the lives of people in the communities we visit.

The Valparaíso Region is located in the central zone of Chile and extends from east to west, from the Andes Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The region is known for its prodigious coastline where some of the country's most famous beaches are found, such as Reñaca or Algarrobo, as well as fertile wine-producing valleys, such as Casablanca, and island territories, such as Juan Fernández or Easter Island (Rapa Nui) that enchant with their magic and mystery. 

Valparaíso, its capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and invites you to discover on foot its narrow streets, endless stairs, historic 

elevators, its multiple viewpoints, and enjoy its colourful houses. Viña del Mar, also known as the "garden city", has a long coastline with white sand beaches and large extensions of green areas. It is a destination that perfectly mixes fun, culture and outdoor activities. 

The Casablanca Valley brings together over 20 vineyards specializing in Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc that invite you to discover their production processes and taste their wines. 

Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. A destination of living culture and traditions, it has privileged beaches, amazing volcanoes and nearly 1000 Moais, silent witnesses of a complex society and symbols of this Polynesian culture full of mysteries. 

Carbon Removal: According to the State of Global Carbon Dioxide Removal Report by University of Oxford, natural methods of removing carbon from the atmosphere are not enough by themselves due to the amount of pollution currently in the atmosphere. Innovations in removing and permanently storing carbon emissions are needed to conserve nature and reverse the course toward further climate change. 

Tomorrow’s Air: Global Family Travels is passionate about encouraging tourism that is not only sustainable but regenerative. To help with our mission, we seek to partner with like-minded brands such as Tomorrow’s Air, which operates within the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA).   

Tomorrow’s Air is a collective of carbon removal innovators that work to permanently remove and store carbon from the atmosphere. Travel is a large contributor to global emissions, and we feel it is important to educate and empower travelers to support efforts that combat climate change! Therefore, as of January 2024, Global Family Travels will include a $25 contribution to Tomorrow’s Air into every trip. Clients may opt out of the $25 donation by emailing us to request its removal from your invoice.
