San Pedro de Atacama

It’s a long way north to San Pedro de Atacama, a small town in the middle of the desert that serves as the main tourism hub for this remarkable region. Visit steaming hot geysers, bizarre rock formations, and high-altitude lagoons surrounded by snow-capped volcanos.

Easter Island

Easter Island is the world’s most remote island. Known in Spanish as Isla de Pascua or in Polynesian as Rapa Nui, Easter Island brims with history, culture, people, and nature that make the journey here unforgettable. The island is best known for its 887 human-shaped figures, called moai statues. They were, impressively, carved from rock and transported around the island. The moai are believed to have honored ancestors and they rest on stone shrines known as ahu. While not all remained in great condition, some have been restored and all have been protected after the island achieved UNESCO World Heritage status. Easter Island is a five-hour flight from Chile, making a journey to the island a perfect way to disconnect. Discover the beauty of its natural resources by visiting the beach, riding horses around the island, or by surfing and scuba diving.
