Chile What to Expect

Easter Island ! Lovely tiny island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Get a horse, do not rent a car! or bike around the island. It's so small. Enjoy the nature and the island mystics. There's only one supermarket/food store. Please check the expiring-dates of food. Its quiet common that some stuff are expired (like ketchup..hehe) don't worry, you won't die. There's only one flight a week. Try hang out with the locals (only 1000 people living there), hav fun with the kids on the island. Enjoy their hospitality and kindness. It's the most isolated island in this world with a fantastic history.

Calama is a city that you should visit ONLY if you are on your way to San Pedro de Atacama and you need to book a bus trip to it or some lodging. If you can arrange all that travel stuff (hotels, buses, tours, etc) by internet, PLEASE DO. Calama has absolutely nothing to offer in terms of sightseeing, plus it is a really, really ugly city, full of decadent nightclubs (no kidding. Hideous nightclubs. But if your stomach is hard......be my guest). If you do have to go to Calama, be very minded of your stuff, or you will regret it! And please don´t you ever go around walking at night!! The place is full of drunks, ho´s and other strange people. I may seem a little bitter about this city but I am not. This stuff is just plain true. If you do what I say, you will have a really great time in San Pedro de Atacama......wich is an unveliebable place!!!!

If you are travelling with children and want them to meet other kids - the best time to hit the parks is 4 - 7 pm when Chilean families come out in swarms. It's ace - the kids all play together (alongside one another) and share toys etc. There is an icecream man doing the circuit of most parks and plenty of adult company.

The city is located 20 km north of Puerto Montt, on the south western shores of Lago Llanquihue. It has a population of 28,000 inhabitants and is in a splendid natural setting formed by the lake and the two volcanoes, Osorno and Calbuco.
The climate is mild and wet, with no real dry season, and rainfall is a possibility at any time of year.
Whist visiting you can see the Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, the Casino de Juegos de Puerto Varas, the Iglesia Luterana and Puerto Chico, which have buildings going back to the beginning of the 20th century.

Puerto Montt (population 175.000 aproximately) lies 1,021 km from Santiago on the northern shore of the Bay of Reloncaví.
The port is very active here. It is the center of an agricultural and stockbreeding area, and the fishing boats bring their catch into the small port of Angelmó, to then be distributed around Chile.
On a visit to Puerto Montt you can see places such as Pelluco, the seaside resort for Puerto Montt; the Museo Municipal Juan Pablo II; Angelmó, the fish market; the handicrafts market; the Cathedral and the Iglesia de los Jesuitas.

If you are visiting Dalcahue and want to try local speciality, make sure you visit the restaurant over the harbour (1st floor) and order curanto, traditional food of Chiloe Island. It consists of shellfish, meat, fish, vegetables, potatoes and, according to the tradition, should be cooked on leaves placed on red-hot stones in a hole, in a ground. Just make sure you are quite hungry or have a one portion for two, as it is served in a huge amount!

Es un lugar campestre, en donde puedes disfrutar de actividades al aire libre.

Capital of the province of Elqui, Coquimbo lies only 12 kilometers South of La Serena and 462 kilometers to the North of the City of Santiago. This is one of the summer destinations par excellence due to its long coastline, whose beaches are suitable for bathing, nautical sports and recreational activities.
Situated 87 m.a.s.l., its climate is semiarid, typical of the steppe. It features moderate temperatures ranging between 15 and 25° C along the year, as a result of the influence of the Pacific Ocean, although in the summer, it usually reaches peaks of 34° C.
On the southern shore, Coquimbo is blessed with long beaches and bays of soft sand. La Herradura, Totoralillo, Las Tacas, Morrillos, Playa Blanca, Puerto Velero and Tongoy are the most outstanding bathing resorts, which invite visitors to sunbathe and enjoy the white sands, the temperate crystal-clear waters and the first-class service.

Isla de Pascua es un lugar encantador y mágico. Recomiendo ir porque allá puedes llenarte de energía y tener paz y tranquilidad todo el tiempo, la gente es super ralajada y simpática...
