Santiago, Chile in $440s-$480s RT

When you're roasting in the August heat, snow seems like an unimaginable dream. And yet, a few thousand miles away, Chileans are enjoying their ski season! How's that for a summer break plan?

Sure, you could just go to the movies to beat the heat, but you'd be missing out on the raw, wild scenery of Torres Del Paine. Your reward for packing a warm coat and visiting the park in winter? You might just have it all to yourself!

Maybe you'd rather grab those later dates and visit in spring. This is the perfect time to head north and visit Chile's otherworldly desert, maybe with a quick stop at the country's best beach (out of a whopping 900).

Or, you know, you could stay at home and sit in front of the AC. Up to you :-)
