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.

The drive out here is nice. The location is picturesque. The "gate-keeper" (Jorge?) is a kind, welcoming man. Then you actually enter the park! Birds, (big) trees, flowers, bees, and much more, it's definitely worth making it out to Curinanco. Get outside of the city and enjoy this swath of coastal rainforest.

This 860 meter hill in the center of Santiago features a zoo and wine museum at the midway point and a gondola ride to the top, where a Virgin Mary statue overlooks the city.
It has several attractions in its 1784 acres. Central Park is only 842 acres by comparison. Some of its most important attractions are: the sanctuary and balcony of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception; The National Zoo of Chile, where you can get dazzled with the different species of animals; the historic funicular railway and the recently inaugurated cable way. From the top of the park you can enjoy a panoramic view of Santiago and the Andes Mountain Range, also there are two swimming pools, plazas and games for children.

Snow-capped and shaped like a perfect cone, this striking volcano overlooks a beautiful lake.
We'd heard that it's often cloudy and many days you can't see the peak, but we saw it all day long. In fact, we drove up the winding road to the ski lift which we took all the way up to the snow line. So beautiful!

Many vintage chilean buildings line this hilly street, a popular site for a walking tour.
WOW! The streets are painted! Beautiful murals everywhere on buildings, streets and staircases! Take the walk and enjoy the art! It is so worth it.

Throughout the history of this Port City, the inhabitants saw the possibility of being located on this hill that was born as a fort to protect themselves from pirats and corsairs. When the port sector zone was almost completely occupied, the immigrants began to populate this hill with houses using the usual architecture of their countries, mainly European. That generated a cool sector of structures that are preserved until today, in a unique and magical, heritage and Chilean mix. The best viewpoints, miradors and alleys are here and in these streets the richest cultural activities converge, surrounded by the best gastronomy. Come and enjoy with us! This experience is unforgettable!
This major port city - “Valpo” for short - was once one of the richest cities of South America known as the “Jewel of the Pacific” and “Little San Francisco” given the many physical similarities. It was the major port on the Pacific coast of South America, a mandatory stopover for ships heading to Asia. Then the Panama Canal opened in 1914, ships no longer had to round Cape Horn and refuel at Valparaiso. The city declined and struggled for almost 100 years to remain relevant. It has only just begun to reassert itself in the past 15 years thanks to the opening of several universities and the legalization of street art in recent decades. Street art / graffiti became a form of expression and political protest during the Augusto Pinochet regime of the 1970s and 1980s. With the restoration of democracy the Valparaiso government made the practice legal even supporting and employing some street artists. Private establishments - hotels, restaurants, stores - hired artists to paint on their buildings or artists could offer their services to them. You could certainly wander Cerro ( "Cerro" means "Hill") Concepcion or any of the other neighborhoods famous for their street art on your own. We felt it was definitely worth hiring for their insight into the history of the city and its art. Of course the street art is the attraction, some of which is frivolous and much sociopolitical in inspiration. Nevertheless the harbor, the ships, and the surrounding hills were inspiring. There were a lot of restaurants to choose from and stores to browse through.

This beautifully landscaped valley is rumored to be linked with extraterrestrial activity throughout the years.
What a place! Extremely nice and such clear skies to watch the stars and the galaxies! Awesome! We enjoyed mountain-biking and some walk in the valley. The small village of Alcohuaz is highly recommended and as wine you must taste Rhu! Unique.

This national monument is an enormous rock, standing 110 meters high and paying tribute to the Chilean military victories in the 19th Century Pacific War.
The walk up the Morro isn't as far as it looks. The first bit is steep but the second bit is fine. We didn't go into the museum as it isn't our thing. There are lots of things to see without going into the museum though. There are lots of information plates which are bilingual. The Redeemer statue is fascinating as is the tomb for an unknown soldier and the flag! You must have your photo taken with the flag just to show how big it is! A good photo is when the small and large falf are blowing in the same direction. The views of the port and the city are well worth the walk - you will have earned a beer or a coffee when you are back down!

Twenty-one slate covered pools with hot and cold thermal water in Chile's lake district.
Amazing architecture and simplicity integrated completely with the most amazing nature! The almost 1.5h drive is totally worth it, just make sure you have enough time to relax and explore different springs and water temperatures. You only need your swim suit and flip flops, anything else you may need, towels, locker key etc they provide you there, while the facilities / changing rooms etc are very clean and tidy. The evening time would be also amazing! And if the weather is cloudy, event better!
