Huffington Post Names Chile One of the Top Destinations in South America

According to the The Huffington Post, Chile is an optimal vacation spot with 4 destinations being in the top 23 destinations in all of South America. NEW YORK, USA — The Huffington post coined Chile in its article “23 Latin American Destinations That Prove There’s A Lot More To See Than Rio And Buenos Aires” as a huge success, with 4 of the top destinations in South America being in Chile: Torres del Paine, Viña del Mar, San Pedro de Atacama and Easter Island. The American journal described these places and their surreal qualities. #6: Torres del Paine. As we saw in many I love Chile articles, Torres del Paine is one of the favorite destinations of tourists (and also for Chileans). Incredible landscapes, mountains, glaciers, rivers and lakes, in the wonderful Chilean Patagonia.  There are many activities, such as hiking, kayaking, visiting the glacier national park by boat. According to the Huffington post’s ranking, Torres del Paine is better than the Argentinean glacier neighbor el Calafate and El Perito Moreno (#9). Torres del Paine National Park is one of many attractions for adventure tourism in Chile.

Tourists can enjoy sand dunes, learn surfing and enjoy the eccentricities of the city. Vina del mar beach.

Many tourists enjoy horseback riding through the desert or doing sand surfing. Sunset in Valle de la Muerte, in San Pedro de Atacama.

It’s not the easiest place to get to, and we have to acknowledge that few tourists and Chileans have had the luck (or privilege) to go there, because of the high price of flights and hotels, and also the few scheduled flights offered to go there, but as a landmark this one has put Chile on the map.
