Chile Travel Information A Thrilling Experience
Travel tips for your trip to Chile Hotel Maps Famous Places in Chile helps you to make your trip to Chile in the holiday a Splendid One

Nearly 2,500 miles west of Chile’s coast is one of the world’s most famous archeological sites, Easter Island. A nature and culture lover’s dream getaway is located upon a triangular island in the Pacific Ocean. Easter Island continues to intrigue scientists and travelers alike, dropping jaws of all. The indigenous inhabitants, the Rapa Nui, live among an extraordinary collection of archaeological wonders, including the iconic moai. These statutes form one of Rapa Nui’s most enduring images. While these famous sculptures may be what first come to your mind when picturing Easter Island, there are many other worthwhile attractions and activities. On a Chile Tour of Easter Island you will be blown away by the 20,000 archeological sites, rich culture, volcanoes, scuba diving, and white sand beaches. There is so much to do on this tiny, raw patch of land.

I would suggest spending at least a few days on Easter Island. To get your bearings, first take a cultural tour. Such a tour should take you to Ahu Tahai, Ahu Tongariki, the Anthropological Museum, Ahu Akivi, Puna a Pau, and the cave Te Pahu. On another day try a few of the outdoor activities, for example there is excellent scuba diving in the untainted seas surrounding Easter Island. Or take a Rano Raruku Volcano tour on the southern tip of the island. The volcano’s crater is full of rain water and lush vegetation and is one of the most beautiful parts of the island. Relax at the coral sand beach of Anakena, an important spot for Birdman rituals. Wherever you go on an Easter Island tour, it will be memorable and full of history and fun

 You can now stand in the mysterious presence of Easter Island and begin your next big adventure after a simple flight. Airline operator, LAN, just made it a little bit easier to visit secluded Easter Island. They recently announced new routes from the United States with a layover in Lima, Peru. The latest flights are a relief to busy travelers as they reduce travel times and lower airfare costs. 

Chile Trips To The Outdoors

Hiking to the summit of Parque Nacional La Campana: Less than an hour away from Santiago, the lookout point of this pristine national park was loved by Charles Darwin in Voyage of the Beagle where he stated that he never enjoyed a day as much as than one he spent atop of this mountain. The 8-hour trek up 5,905 feet is definitely challenging, but well-worth the effort. For less demanding trails, hike through the dense concentrations of Palma Chilema, the world’s southernmost species of palm tree.

Summiting a Volcano: Volcanoes are so much cooler than mountains for some reason. Find that you agree by climbing Volcan Villarrica in Pucon or Volcan Osorno near Puerto Varas. Active Villarrica is a fairly easy climb to the crater, or you can try strap on crampons and walk past glacier crevasses and caves. Chile has a wealth of volcanoes, bordering Bolivia are Parinacota, east of Arica, and Licancabur near San Pedro. For adventurous climbers, the ice fields around San Valentin make it a thrilling climb.

Skiing and snowboarding in the Andes: From June to October, Chile offers some excellent skiing. In terms of affordability, mountain views, and elating terrain, Chile has it all. Portillo has steep runs that will get your heart pumping and your legs working. Valle Nevado and Termas de Chillán have luxury infrastructure that includes relaxing spas. For an extreme rush, heliskiing is available at many resorts in Chile, or try riding a snowcat through the mountains.

Rafting or Kayaking in the Futaleufu River: The class V river, known as the “Fu” is cherished by rafting and kayaking enthusiasts around the world. While too intense for many, there are smaller sections for rafting, or nearby Espolon River, which is a bit tamer.

Hiking in Torres del Paine: One of the most unique national parks in the world, Torres del Paine has hundreds of miles of trails. Explore the jagged peaks, granite spires, sprawling meadows, turquoise lakes and rivers, and gigantic glaciers.

Catching Jumbo Trout: Chile has thousands of spots for fly-fishing from the Lake District all the way to the sub-Antarctic wilderness of Tierra del Fuego. Fishing pros from around the world go to the remote Carretera Austral to catch hefty 10-pounders. The further south you travel, the shorter the fishing season gets.
