How to plan an adventurous trip without any actual planning.
stagram. As a travel-planning procrastinator, I immediately knew I had found the perfect way for my husband and I to have an extreme adventure without the stress and hassle of figuring out logistics.
Tierra Hotels is a family-owned and -operated hotel group with properties in the Atacama Desert, Chiloé and Patagonia. The boutique hotel brands itself as an “adventure spa” and offers an all-inclusive package at all three properties, whether you stay at just one or a combination of the three. Our trip is split between Tierra Atacama, which is located in a desert, and Tierra Chiloé, which is situated beside lush wetlands.
While exploring a trail that circles the property we’re warmly greeted by the hotel manager’s dog, Manchas, who becomes our tour guide ushering us through the orchard, leading us down to the shore and dock and through the stables where we feed the hotel’s horses apples and carrots. Some guests choose horseback riding as an excursion but we’re keen to get on the water so we sign up for a full day tour on the hotel’s boat – the “Willche”.
We try our hand at tandem kayaking, where I shout out our strokes to keep us on pace as we glide past Magellanic penguins. Back on dry land, we celebrate the fact that we didn’t tip over with a glass of Carménère and a feast of salmon, quinoa salad and potatoes au gratin prepared by a chef onboard. On our last night, we venture out of our room in pyjamas and hand-knit Chilean slippers, gifted to us by the hotel, for one last look at the landscape. We make a toast to our epic adventure and begin fantasizing about our return.
