Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary is structured as an open-jaw start with the ticket beginning after an overland arrival into Buenos Aires. That setup works well for travelers who want to separate a South America surface segment from the long-haul flight plan, while still keeping the onward air routing on one coordinated multi-stop ticket.
From Buenos Aires, the sequence moves west to Santiago and then out to Easter Island, which is the most logical place in the routing to build in fixed time on the ground. The five-night stay on Easter Island gives the outbound South America segment a clear endpoint before the return begins, rather than forcing a shorter turn on the island.
At three weeks total in economy, this is a compact South America and Pacific-focused routing with a straightforward progression: overland into Buenos Aires, regional connection to Santiago, onward flight to Easter Island, and return to Montrose. Pricing on this sold itinerary ranged from USD 2,358 to USD 3,086 for February travel.
