Happy Birthday!
From the Far North & the Altiplano to the Far South of Chile, unusual experiences await. Dream about walking through the driest desert in the world, enjoy the beaches of Pacific Ocean, feel the astounding fascination of Patagonian forests. Imposing glaciers & millenary ice fields. A land full of imagination, mystery with adventure sports, gastronomy, bird-watching, eco-travel.
Chile has it all. A great diversity of climates constrained by the majestic Andes to the east, the arid desert to the north & the exquisite beaches along the west coast. Bountiful rivers, a plethora of valleys give life to beautiful cities. An assorted community of indigenous peoples whose customs & culture are still alive. The Fondas, the Cueca, the lapis lazuli crafts, the carnivals with masks & colourful costumes, the delicious curanto recipes & lamb spit roasts in Patagonia are just some amazing examples of traditions that make Chile a unique destination.
Renowned for it’s steep funiculars, vibrant houses on the hills, the city of Valparaiso near Santiago is undoubtedly a great example of Chile’s historical, artistic heritage for lovers of bohemian life, street art, poetry. From Violeta Parra’s traditional guitar to the surrealism of painter Roberto Matta. The Chilean Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda.
