About Chile

A long, thin, ribbon-like country that spans almost a quarter of the globe in length – a staggering 4,300-kilometres to be exact – Chile is a land of extremes. Backed by the Andes to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West, scorched deserts give way to bucolic, grape-garlanded vineyards; active volcanoes rub shoulders with glossy lakes and pretty forests; and the needle-sharp glaciers of the ice fields stand stark and proud against a Patagonian wilderness. Add to that a collection of artistic cities, fusion dining and excellent wine, a wild and wonderful cowboy culture, and a history of arts and crafts (and an enigmatic, Polynesian island, two time zones away), and it’s a thrilling, mesmerising and unexpected land to explore. And explore you will! White-water raft on a glacial river or strap on your boots for a hike into unknown terrain; canoe, kayak and enjoy the wildlife-filled national parks or experience 'life on Mars' in the driest desert on earth; ponder the merits of a cabernet versus a carménère in the wine valleys or stroll the maze-like city streets, following your nose to the best seafood in town. Whatever it is that excites you, you’ll find it in Chile.

Sara  • 12 nights in South Africa

We loved our experience booking our safari with Timbuktu. Obviously with the pandemic things got crazy in terms of making our trip happen. Timbuktu worked with us and made sure we would be able to go on our safari! We are very pleased with their company.

Lauren • 11 nights in Botswana & Zimbabwe

Timbuktu’s website is extremely user friendly whether you’re booking a trip from scratch or you’re using one of their recommended trips! If you need advice or help, their customer service is top-notch. Never have I ever been more thrilled to have someone else do my vacation planning!

Gid • 8 nights in Tanzania

Kristin was amazing at helping us get our trip organized. She is great with communicating updates. This was very easy to plan and come up with new ideas we hadn’t thought about. Even just trying to build the trip on our own the website is intuitive and easy to use!

Mark • 9 nights in Kenya

Easy and responsive planning, perfect itinerary, incredible guides, unbelievable responsiveness at every level! I have nothing but good to say about Joanna and our hosts in Kenya. If you are traveling with young children, Joanna gets it. She picked the perfect accommodations and activities for our family!

Our mission to create an alternative

For years, travelling to remote corners of the world has been complex and overwhelming to research and more than a little tricky to book independently. In fact, the only viable way to travel to the world’s wild places has been with the help of a traditional agent.

At Timbuktu we’re on a mission to change all that and instead want to empower you, our curious travellers, to easily design your own trip, with help and guidance from our destination experts whenever you need it.
