The Best Places to Elope in Chile
The granite towers of Torres del Paine and the crystal night sky of the Atacama. A country that runs from the driest desert on earth to the wildest Patagonian mountains.
Couples picture Chile as one long thin country and stop there.
It runs from the driest desert on earth to the wildest mountains in Patagonia.
Chile has two great elopement regions that could not be more different, and each gives images impossible anywhere else.

The Mirador Las Torres, directly below the three granite towers, is a four-to-five-hour hike from the trailhead. Couples start before dawn to reach the moraine lake at sunrise, the towers reflected in grey water, one of the most extraordinary compositions in Patagonia.

The Atacama
In the north, the Atacama around San Pedro is the driest non-polar desert on earth, with the clearest night sky on the planet, the reason the world's great observatories are here. Valle de la Luna at sunset and the El Tatio geysers at dawn give an otherworldly, cinematic register.
The right region depends on what the photographs need to hold. As your Elopement Curator I plan the expedition, handle the trekking and desert logistics, coordinate the symbolic ceremony, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, Chile is desert and mountains at their most extreme.
