Everything the Brazilian does not find here: snow, glaciers and volcanoes […]
Owner of one of the most extreme geographies in South America, Chile has everything the Brazilian does not find here.
This small town, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, is a sequence of landscapes ranging from isolated to northern aridity, passing through fjords, volcanoes and glaciers. And it is precisely this variety of natural scenarios, combined with gastronomy and good wines, which attracts so many travelers from here to the continent.
Take a look at the suggestions for the destinations.
Patagonia
It is in Chile that it is the most isolated and inhospitable version of all Patagonia, whose best known attraction is the Torres del Paine National Park, 1h30 by Puerto Natas.
The most popular walk is the Base Torres, a 22 kilometer path (round trip) that leaves us at the foot of this huge granite in the shape of glacial ice.
“It is the best known and demanding walk of the National Park, and is also part of the W circuit, the most famous trekking in Chile”, describes the guide of Tomás Abbott.
Abbott usually divides the crossing into four parts: a flat walk of about 1 km from an old area of pasture grazing and four other kilometers in permanent rise to the Chilean field.
From there, you have to make a crossing of two kilometers around a forest; It is a latest extension to the basement look of Torres, on an irregular brunette soil, while the glacial tracks left by the materials dragged by the movement of the glaciers.
“This is the most difficult part and lasts about an hour. It is not too long, but it is quite steep. It is in the third part of the path that we do hard work, so we should keep our energies for this stretch,” he warns.

Southern
The Aysén region is the address of another classic Chilean Patagonia: an Australian Carretera.
Over 1,240 kilometers in length, the traveler runs from the cold lakes of Porto Montt, Marco Zero from Estrada, to the always green woods of Patagonia Chilean, which crosses rivers, valleys, glaciers, glacial suspended, national parks and millennial rock formations in the middle of a lake water blise.
Everything seems superlative, from the ice of ice suspended with about 4,200 km², such as the North Ice Field, the address of the impact Laguna San Rafael.
Among the most famous addresses of Carretera there are the Twenty -sectorin Queulat National Park, Carnetera Norte and in MarmolIn Carretera Sur.
The first is located 195 kilometers from Puerto Chacabuco and 165 kilometers north of Coyhaique. This tongue of ice suspended on a mountain can be seen on a short path (1,200 meters, round trip) in Laguna has pain, where you can take a boat to get closer to the glacial.
Already the Sanctuary of La Naturaza Capilla de Marmol It is known by the Millennial Marble Rocks, sculpted by the waters of Lake General Carrera. The boat ridges come out of the distant portor Río silent, 218 kilometers from Coyhaique.

Lakes Andine
Created in 1913 by the Swiss Ricardo Roth, head of the first crossing with tourist purposes in the region, the crossing of the lakes is a seven stadium trip (lacous and terrestrial), which lasts up to three days, between Puerto Varas (Chile) and San Carlos de Barioche (Argentina).
The journey begins in Porto Varas, more than a thousand kilometers from Santiago, and is slowly rhythm with a unique sequence of landscapes that includes glacial lakes, dormant volcanoes of snowy peaks, centenary forests, high villages and wooden wets and wooden aller.
And to see all this at best, passengers have 10 different scripts options.
The most popular, but not recommended by Trip to the agendaThese are the crossings expressed in Chile in Argentina or on the contrary, a pulled journey that crosses three lakes connected by four terrestrial routes, among the fields of Puerto in Chile in Bariloche.
It is tiring, it is demanding and in a hasty rhythm that combines little with Patagonia.
Therefore, the tip is to take the two -day crossings with the night in Peulla, an ecological village isolated with only 120 inhabitants.
The journey, which can be combined by bus and even bicycle sections, are performed throughout the year.
Chylon
This archipelago is the Chile that we cost to believe there is.
The second largest island in the country has adventure activities, paths in surreal scenarios and wooden churches that are inheritance of humanity.
One of the most surreal scenarios can be seen on the Duhato-Chpu path of Ancud, north-west of Chilo. There are nine kilometers of high difficulty walking, crossing the Costa Costa, one of the oldest formations of Chile, and crossing always green woods, even in winter, and the hills access the beach of the Cheupo river.
Walking can be combined with a navigation of the wetlands, the result of the powerful earthquake that hit Chilo in 1960, considered the most powerful in the world.
Of magnitude 9.5 and followed by a tsunami, the phenomenon had an epicenter in the city of Valdivia and changed the rivers of Chiloé. It is here that these flooded woods, which can be visited during boat tours through the internal weapons of the Cheupo river, which, after the cataclysm of the 1960s, became one of the longest of Chiloé.

Atacama
Located in Northern Chile, the destination has one of the most extreme geographies in South America: it is the address of the highest desert in the world, its land is compared to that of Mars and the rain is rare.
The archaeological capital of the country is also known as “the eyes of the universe”, whose sky is one of the cleanest of the southern hemisphere, hence another title: world capital of astronomy, due to the conditions for the observation of astronomical phenomena.
This is because the Region has climatic conditions that guarantee little rains and over 300 nights open per year. It is not surprising that it is also an address of 40 international observers, with a greater concentration in the Coquimbo region, of which 27 open for tourist visits.
The Northern Chilean skies, such as Antofagasta and São Pedro Do Atacama, have ideal conditions for the contemplation of the stars due to the arid desert climate.
Near the Atacama desert, at an altitude of 2400 meters, the observation of La Silela is favored by distancing any contamination of the light.
About 27 kilometers away is the Las Campanas Observatory, where visitors can use 6.5 meters in the State -for reflective telescopes. The Aldea Alfa Observatory in Coquimbo is located in the region with the largest astrumic offer in Chile, whose tourist experience includes the observation of the skies through giant telescopes.
With low light pollution rates, central regions such as Valle del Elqui and Cajón del Maipo offer astrotourism experiments.
