At Global Family Travels we believe that the most powerful way to learn is through firsthand experience. We let the country and its people be your teachers and supplement your experiences with reading lists, informal discussions, and a pre-trip orientation which includes information on the culture and history of your host country, helpful words and phrases, and cultural “do’s and don’ts”.
Learning themes unique to this tour include:
Chilean nature and wildlife
Conservation efforts to protect Chilean wildlife and Patagonia
The route of the Jesuits through the valley of the Puntiagudo Volcano
How to engage in “rewilding” of natural spaces
On this trip, you will have the opportunity to engage with Legado Chile, a NGO committed to rewilding and conservation. This will give you an opportunity to have a hands-on experience of conservation and nature restoration in the field.
This tour emphasizes authentic cultural and natural experiences to allow you to fully immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of the Parks of Patagonia and surrounding areas. Beyond the immersion in nature, you will also experience a stay with a local family in the El Callao Valley.
You will also enjoy a dinner at the house of a local chef in the town of Puerto Varas as well as another dinner prepared with local ingredients from a chef in Chiloe. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in cooking preparation for a traditional meal on the island known as Curanto and even make your own beer at a local brewery.
This journey will be more than a vacation, it will truly allow you to connect with nature and learn about Chile and Patagonia in the process.

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.
