Calama, Chile
Rent a car to explore the desert. Pick up from the airport in the evening on arrival to chille, and return at the airport before we fly to Santiago.
Will need 3 full days or more
Geysers del tatio and ruta de los salares better with a tour
Some attractions need to book in advance so need to come up with a plan

Santiago, Chile
Fly over
Standard city vibes. Do a city tour to learn the history, parks, malls for some final souvenir shopping, and old neighbourhoods to go and take photos and have coffee. Climbing Cerro Santa Lucia might be good for the gram pics. Finally may want to try a pisco sour while we are there too.
Valparaiso is a beautiful town to visit by the coast and maybe where the statue of Thomas is... (Only 90 mins away)
Potentially could do a winery tour if it's economical. Cheapest one at the most famous is £25 so not horrific and worth a go potentially. Maybe even something to do with wine.
