Arica to Chile

Arica

Featuring fascinating landscapes with mountain peaks and coastal deserts, Chile lies in South America. The climate varies from Mediterranean in the northern and central regions to Alpine towards the southern region. The northern region is famous for the coastal city, Iquique offering an incredible laidback vibe. Playa Cavancha is a beautiful palm-fringed beach, while Museo Regional de Iquique, Corbeta Esmeralda and the pedestrian strip, Calle Baquedano are other attractions that should not be missed. The town of San Pedro de Atacama is the gateway to Atacama Desert, the driest non-polar place on the planet. Las Piedras Rojas, Salar de Talar, Miscanti and Miñiques and Valle del Arcoíris are popular hotspots at this expansive northern desert. Stargazing, camping and hiking are among the most popular activities. Santiago, the capital of Chile lies in the central part of the country. Surrounded by the peaks of the Andes Mountains, the city is well known for its skyscrapers and varied architectural wonders. Sky Costanera, rising up to 300 m above sea level is the city’s modern observation deck that is best visited during sunsets. Barrio Bellavista is an artsy neighbourhood in this city with several cafes. The neoclassical architectural style of La Moneda Palace is a sight to behold nearby. In southern Chile, Queulat National Park features deep fjords and waterfalls. Hiking and kayaking are popular activities. The highlight of this forested zone is Ventisquero Colgante, better known as the hanging glacier. If you want to visit Chile, book a flight and hotel from MakeMyTrip and enjoy the best discounts.
