Things to Do
Torres Del Paine National Park
Situated more than 100 kilometers north of the city of Puerto Natales in southern Patagonia, this stunningly beautiful area encompasses mountains, glaciers, and countless lakes and rivers
Navegation Grey III on Winter Round Trip
From the Lago Grey Hotel, we arrive in minutes at the Pingo River where we cross its bridge and then cross a native forest and board a boat on the shores of Lago Grey
This excursion has a total duration of about 3 hours. After 1h15m of navigation we will be near the foot of Glacier Grey
You will be able to appreciate from a very short distance all the beauty and magnitude of the millenary ice walls of more than 20 meters that the glacier offers as a spectacle

Valle de la Luna and the Atacama Desert
This rugged, inhospitable looking landscape in the heart of the Atacama Desert attracts many visitors for its eerie resemblance to the surface of the moon, an effect caused by the erosion of its sand and stone features by wind and water over countless millennia
A notable feature of the Atacama Desert are the region's many caverns, some containing evidence of pictographs created by early man and where some of the world's oldest mummies, preserved by the area's aridity, were found
Also of interest is the Laguna Cejar sinkhole, famous for its turquoise water
Easter Island & Rapa Nui National Park
Despite being more than 3,500 kilometers away from mainland Chile, this fascinating island with its remarkable stone sculptures remains the country's most recognizable attraction
The most impressive collection is at Ahu Tongariki where 15 of them have been re-erected on the island's largest Moai platform, or "ahu”
Rapa Nu is also where you'll find one of the country's best beaches, Anakena, a beautiful yet short stretch of white coral sand that's the perfect spot for a break from hiking
Visiting Easter Island is best done as part of a Chilean vacation, with regular flights available from Santiago or Tahiti (flight times are approximately five hours, so expect to stay at least a couple of days)
Santiago: Chile's Cultural Capital
Country's cultural and entertainment center and is home to endless fun things to do, including visiting its best museums and galleries, along with excellent shopping, dining, and hotel options
Centrally located and the country's main transportation hub, Santiago is where most visitors begin their Chilean travels before heading to the Andes or other areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as Easter Island
Chiloé Island & Chiloé National Park
In addition to the island's numerous old iconic wooden churches, remnants of the communities established by Jesuit missionaries who settled here in the 1600s, you'll see plenty of attractive, colorful old homes known as "palafitos" snuggled along the shoreline in places, and raised out of the water on stilts. Many of the island's old churches, too, are painted brightly and should be visited
Chiloé National Park itself has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. A highlight of a visit to this area of outstanding natural beauty is the chance to observe wildlife as diverse as blue whales and dolphins (sightseeing excursions are available), and the large penguin breeding grounds on the nearby Islotes de Puñihuil Natural Monument
The website linked below is where I got my ideas on what to do.
