Before Covid you could do this, now all the archeological sites require you to have an accredited guide for you to be able to enter. It's cheaper to book a guide full time to visit multiple sites in a day than it is to book one to go to each site one at a time. As always, if you want something other than the 'on rails' tour they can do in their sleep, like extra time at some sites, then make sure you agree it with them first before signing on the dotted line. There are plenty of places you can go without a guide like the beach and hills, but not any of the places you go there to see. So I would no longer recommend hiring your own car.

Has anyone any recent experience of the times needed at SCL? I'll be on an F ticket around this time next year. We shall be on a cruise that should enable debark around 8am. The flight home is at 1305.
I really can't take any longer on this trip and there is no flight the following day. We can be fast on our feet and all being well, we should be at the airport by 1000, but if things went wonky, would rocking up at say 1130 still be doable?
