In November last year I toured Chile for a month the highlights for me were:
- Hiking in the Atacam Desert, Lake District & Patagonia
- Hiking up to the world famous Torres del Paine base camp
- Breath taking varied views
- Exploring the coast close to Santiago with Alan
Santiago the capital is not only cosmopolitan but colonial the visit to San Cristoble gives you the famous view of the whole city and the panoramic Andes Mountains. I walked in the national park and along the shores of Lake Villarrica in the town of Pucon in the south.
The highlight for me was the time spent in the Paine National Park and hiking up to the Torres del Paine. Exploring the park I saw enormous waterfalls, Glaciers & alpine flowers in abundance.
In the Atacam Desert I experienced the lunar landscape. the salt mountains & lakes and home to the many species of flamingos and other colourful birds. The El Tatio geysers were spectacular swimming in the thermal waters was an experience I will never forget.
