by Pietro_4wd

On the northern Chile don't forget to visit Chungara Lake on the Lauca National-Park. Take the time to visit the Surire Salt Lake and also the Isluga Volcano National-Park. You will enjoy as a child among the snowed mountains, the smartly stoppings on the hot springs and the magical beauty of the nature of this land.Wild fauna is not dangerous. Original communities on the high Andean plateau are peaceful and welcoming. A chain of natural parks and reserves makes an unforgetteable scenery.

Far of the crowds, far of danger of cities and higways, closer the stars, close the bright of the snowed peaks of the Andes mountains, near active volcanos, peaceful people, nice wild silvester fauna.

by mmcguire

White water rafting at Pucon or Puerto VarasClimbing Volcano Villarica in Pucon and Volcano Orsono in Puerto VarasRelaxing in the Hot springs after the climbAlthough white water rafting is not unique to Chile, the rapids are one of the best and the scenary around these areas are breathtaking. The chance to climb live volcanoes is not something you would get to do oftenHot springs are outside usually right beside a river so a quick dip in the cold river before plunging into a hot spring surrounded by the rainforest
