Iquique

This place has many different adventures that can be interesting for travelers: it is home of the driest desert in the world as well as millennial glaciers in the southernmost part of the planet. It counts many enchanted forests, incredible lakes located at the foot of many volcanoes and wild rivers flowing throughout the whole country. Infinite legends and mysteries populate the beautiful Easter Island, so secluded and remote and yet so alive, especially in February when the local festival Tapati takes place. The locals will engage with you in many traditional activities such as body painting and delicious culinary experiences which should not be missed!. Great cuisine and winemaking traditions are important in Chile too. And last but surely not least, is the lovely city of Santiago: modern, dynamic and organized… while still being a great place for relaxing thanks to its many parks and recreational areas.
Chilean people are warm and welcoming and the getting in touch with them is not difficult. On the other hand, people’s kindness and hospitality is something that surprises many visitors.
A fun fact about Chile: you can experience both summer and winter in the same day! During the southern winter, you can try out some of the best ski slopes in South America in the massive Andean mountains. Do it early in the morning and then hit the road: it’s only a two-hour road journey from the mountains to the ocean, where you can enjoy a delicious seafood dinner on the coast, with the breeze and atmosphere or warm summer nights!

Chile

It was sparsely populated during the 18th century because of the salt mines’ settlements, but it is now even lesser inhabited after the world’s market interests shifted from salt towards nitrate, leaving the Tarapaca region as it has always been: deserted and calm. The very problematic scarcity of water, combined with the extreme natural conditions, makes this region a very remote place for tourist, yet a very fascinating spot for the ones who dare to enter it. Wonderful oases pop up randomly throughout the whole territory, lamas in green plains framed by snow-peaked mountains are a very common scene, and the traces of colonial history leave more and more space for wild nature, so very rare in today’s overcrowded world.
