Perfect mix of gently sloping sand, fun waves, clear water and small size crowds with a backdrop of moai and just enough services to get lunch or a drink. Perfect for cooling off after hiking or for just relaxing.

We absolutely loved this road trip and would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous heart. No, the hotels are not great and the road conditions tend to be poor, but no one should some to this part of the world looking for luxury. This trip is 100% and the incredible natural beauty of remote Patagonia. We have been all over South America, and this is the single most incredible stretch of wilderness we have encountered, even surpassing Torres del Paine. The only gripe we had was how difficult it was to find any relevant information about the trip and what to expect. We did ours in a small 4x4 rented round trip from Puerto Montt. After driving all the way to Caleta Tortel, we returned to Coyhaique and crossed into Argentina. We then linked this trip into another week on Route 40 and the Seven Lakes before crossing back into Chile at Cardenal Samore. Absolutely a perfect adventure. If you are looking a detailed guide to road tripping the Carretera Austral, just internet search our name, Career Break Adventures with Carretera Austral. Happy driving!

From semi arid agriculture and vineyards to world class skiing in two hours. Vistas on the 28 switchbacks on the way up are stunning. We got sprained necks from watching two condors circling near us. Well worth the trip.
7. Valle Nevado - Ski Resort Chile
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,198 reviews
Valle Nevado is South America's premier ski resort, offering access to the largest amount of terrain and the most modern lift system on the continent. The Valle Nevado complex provides a complete experience, including boutique shops, three hotels, private apartments, six restaurants, a full-service spa and fitness center, cinema, library, bars and lounges, a pub with live music, a kids entertainment center and a state-of-the-art events venue, all set to the breathtaking backdrop of the magnificent Andes. Located just 90 minutes from Santiago, Valle Nevado offers 2,200 acres of varied terrain, and 17 lifts including the country's only gondola. Due to the resort's orientation and altitude at 9,924 feet, Valle Nevado on average receives the most snow of Central Valley resorts, with a seasonal average of 300+ inches. Short lift lines and few people on the slopes provides days of powder skiing after a storm. The resort has a terrain park, plenty of side and backcountry terrain, and guests spending 7 nights at the resort receive 2 interconnect tickets to neighboring resorts, opening a staggering 7,000 acres of terrain. The adventurous can book heli-skiing directly at the resort, a truly spectacular experience with vertical drops of up to 5,000 feet in one run. The 2017 season runs from June 23 to September 22. Join the resort for the 2nd Annual Chile Wine Festival from Aug. 18 - 24.

There's this company called "Phenix" that has special offers for groups of a minimum of 13 (at least during the weekends) where for 51.000 you get transport, a ticket for the day, equipment rental, lunch and ski/snowboard lessons (different levels). It's supposed to be for people under 24 but I've added some people around 27 to the groups in the past without a problem. On weekdays you get cheaper packages because you get to include less things. Anyway, in my opinion this is the best ski centre in Santiago if you're looking into not-so-crowded slopes and like to go fast. There is the fastest chairlift in South America (called Andes Express) which leads you to the mountain top in 5 minutes.

Cavancha beach is the second one in the center of Iquique. It is highly recommended for young children and teenagers, and for adult and older people as well. The beach has different option to rent, such as umbrellas, beach and lounge chair, and so on. You also can buy a soda or a snack. Watch out with the sellers, because there are a lot of them. The only thing that I bought them is sods, because I wasn’t sure about the quality of cooked food. The best hours to get there is between 10 to 14 and 18 to 20h. Enjoy!
