About the Destination

Officially called the Republic of Chile, Chile is nestled between the Andes Mountain on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It borders Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage in the far south. Santiago is both the largest city and the capital of Chile.

It is believed that the name Chile is derived from the Incan name for the Aconcagua valley - Chili. The region that is now Chile’s Monte Verde Valley was frequented by pre-historic human ancestors. Many centuries later, the renowned navigator Ferdinand Magellan became the first non-native settler of this country. The country was later colonized by the Spanish. After a long and tenuous struggle with their Spanish masters, Chile gained independence from colonial rule on September 18, 1810.

Due to the presence of a heterogeneous topography, the flora and fauna of this country represent this diversity. This is also the reason for a variety of climates in Chile. The northern part experiences a desert climate whereas the central region has a Mediterranean climate. Owing to the tundra region and the glaciers in the east and south, these regions experience an oceanic climate.

A majority of the population in Chile is of indigenous ancestry as settlers from other parts of the world didn’t consider it a great destination due to its remote location. But of late, Chile has become quite popular for settlers, especially from neighboring countries.

Things to Do in Chile

The beauty of this country is that its many Chile sightseeing attractions cannot be wrapped up in linear Chile sightseeing tours. However, Veena World’s made-to-order online Chile vacation packages and Chile holiday packages will make your vacation worth remembering for a lifetime.

Here are a few destinations worthy of a visit that you may consider for a memorable trip to Chile:

• Santiago:

The capital city of Santiago has all the makings of a lively and cosmopolitan metro city. This city is usually the first stop for tourists coming to Chile. But Santiago is not be mistaken for a concrete jungle as it has a lively cultural scene and a happening nightlife, all against the backdrop of the majestic mountains. Delve into the culture, heritage, and history of the place with Santiago’s fine museums, admire both local and international masters at the many art galleries or dine at an upscale restaurant with fantastic local wines keeping your spirits high.

• Easter Island & Rapa Nui National Park:

It is perhaps the most sought after destination in an online Chile tour package from India as people love a good mystery and intrigue. Easter Island is an isolated island located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. Although the island has beautiful sandy beaches and volcanic craters, people are drawn to the Moai structures. The Moai structures are a series of 887 monumental statues that were built many centuries ago by the early Rapa Nui people. The region was earlier occupied by Polynesians. The island has earned the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the statues are protected by the Rapa Nui National Park. The Ahu Tongariki collection is the most impressive collection of 15 of these statues. Rapa Nui is also the location of one of Chile’s best beaches, and is a great spot for honeymooners and can be included in a Chile honeymoon package.

• Lauca National Park:

The Lauca National Park is located in the Andean mountain range. One of the world’s highest lakes - Lago Chungara - is a spectacular sight. Towering over the lake are the twin dormant volcanoes of Volcan Parinacota and Volcan Pomerape.

• Pucon:

Pucon may be a small town but the activities and scenic beauty it offers make it a great tourist destination in Chile tours. There are many activities such as water skiing, snow skiing, white water rafting, kayaking, and horseback riding for the action seekers. But if you would rather enjoy a relaxing time, a dip in the many natural springs will leave you rejuvenated and refreshed.

• Torres del Paine:

Chile has so many contrasts to celebrate and the Torres del Paine National Park is just that. Located in the extreme southern region of Patagonia, it offers incredible sights of glaciers, lakes, and snow-clad mountains. While here, do not miss the three Towers of Paine, which are striking granite peaks shaped by the forces of glacial ice.

• Valle de la Luna:

People who haven’t seen the Atacama Desert will have a hard time believing that a desert could be so beautiful. Dry and unforgiving winds lashing the desert for centuries have given birth to Valle de la Luna. This valley, with its sand dunes and natural stone formations, looks like the lunar surface and hence the name Valle de la Luna. This place is a great addition to Chile holiday packages.

• Chiloe Churches:

The beauty of Christianity is that it embraces the country or region and adapts itself to local beliefs and culture. And the Chiloe Churches are a great example of that. The Chiloe Churches are a group of uniquely built churches based on the Chilota architectural style and are located on the Chiloe archipelago. Many of these ruined wooden churches have been restored to their original glory and now are a major part of many Chile tours which are offered at cost-effective prices by many travel companies.

Best Time to Visit Chile

Chile is such a diverse country and due to its many climate zones, the best time to visit would depend on the region you are planning to visit. October to March are the warmest and most accessible months for visitors planning on visiting the Patagonia region in the south. However, if you are planning to visit the Central Valleys and the Atacama Desert, September to November and March to May are the best times to visit.
