Chile has beaches that draw sun-worshippers and roaring rivers for adventure travelers. Fishing aficionados head south to the Lake District, while armchair archeologists are attracted to the 5,000-year-old mummies of the Atacama.
Valle de la Luna
the Valle de la Luna is aptly named: its sand and rock formations create a remarkably moonlike landscape. Come at sunrise or sunset, when a multitude of colors splashes across the sky. It's an indescribable experience to watch.
Volcán Villarrica
The perfectly cone-shaped, snow-covered Volcán Villarrica is visible from nearby Pucón, one of the principal destinations in the Chilean Lake District. Adventurous tourists can climb the active volcano, peering into the lava lake within its crater at the summit.
Torres del Paine
The Torres del Paine, part of the Paine Massif, an Eastern spur of the Andes rising dramatically above the Patagonian steppe, are three granite towers that form the centerpiece of the Torres del Paine National Park in Region XII.
Chiloé's Churches
In addition to its palafitos (brightly colored waterfront homes on wooden stilts) and curanto, Chiloé is best known for its 150 wooden churches, which were built by Jesuit missionaries during the colonial period. One of the most beautiful and oldest examples is the Iglesia de Santa María de Loreto, on the small island of Quinchao.
Pablo Neruda’s Houses
Isla Negra, La Sebastiana, and La Chascona are the three houses of Chilean Nobel Prize–winning poet Pablo Neruda. They are located in Isla Negra (45 minutes south of Valparaíso), Valparaíso, and Santiago, respectively.
Central Coast Beaches
Chile’s beaches are a major draw for international and domestic tourism alike. During the summer months of December through March, families from all over Chile come to relax along the windswept coast near Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, sharing asado (Chilean barbecue).
