Bohemian and colorful, poetic and somewhat eccentric, Valparaiso, UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see in Chile. Located 115 km west of Santiago, this medium-sized city, built entirely facing the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by steep hills, once served as a base for sailors and travelers from around the world during the 19th century. Visitors get the impression of an open-air museum as they discover this intriguing city by foot, exploring its narrow streets, endless staircases and historic funicular. |

Located in the North of Chile, in the heart of the altiplano, Atacama is the world’s most arid desert, where extreme climate conditions create spectacular natural phenomena and landscapes. Large rocky fields, a ground cracked from the heat, active geysers, snow-capped volcanoes and surreal mineral-rich altiplano lakes populated with pink flamingos are all a part of the unbelievable decor. From San Pedro de Atacama, a typical village with dirt streets and adobe houses, discover the ancestral cultures and natural treasures that the region has to offer! |
