South America Reveals The Beauty Of Nature

By Bertulda Zerna


Chile & Easter Island travel will give you an experience not to be missed. From beautiful coastline to towering mountain ranges, the scenery is breath taking. With deserts and forests and vibrant cities there is something to suit everyone.

Most people have heard of the huge rock carvings on Easter Island. They are called moai and are surrounded in mystery. The history of how their makers moved these huge statues around the island has been lost. And, people are not even sure why they were made. High above sea level the village of Orongo sits between a sheer cliff and a volcano and it has its own puzzle. Carvings of a man with a bird head are thought to have a religious basis but it has not been proved.

Lakes, creeks and rivers that are perfect for fishing are plentiful in the Lake District. The reflection of ice capped mountains in the waters of the lake is so clear you feel like you could touch them. Twelve major lakes are more than enough to satisfy the most avid sightseer but there are many more smaller ones that may be enjoyed as well.

If you are interested in wildlife you can see all types of animals in their natural habitats. The many national parks protect a variety of animals and birds. There are creeks and rivers, forests and a desert and of course lovely beaches and coastline. Nearly every type of terrain can be seen in this part of the world.

Patagonia is perhaps the most famous area of all for its spectacular scenery. One of the cities here is completely isolated from the rest of the country by impassable mountains. If you do not want to fly you will have to travel from Argentina to reach it. The views of icebergs, glaciers, mountains and the stunning waterfalls of this area are wonderful.

Most people love a luxury holiday and the resort town of Vina Del Mar will have you relaxing in a tropical setting. You will meet people from all over the world and enjoy concerts and festivals during January and February. The food is world class too with a selection of gourmet restaurants catering to even the most discerning diner.

Santiago is the capital city. It is a thriving hub and is counted among South America's major cities. It has all the usual entertainment you would expect in a major city including museums and interesting architecture. The wine region is a short distance south and the many vineyards have the best vintages in the country. Soaking up the local culture in the markets and cafes is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

For an interesting and exciting holiday try Chile & Easter Island travel. It has the wonders of soaring mountain ranges and the fresh beauty of clear lakes. Mysterious historical artifacts will challenge you and a lively local culture will keep you entertained. Nowhere else can you enjoy such an experience.
