Street Art Capital of the World

Valparaiso is a bustling port city and one of our favorites in South America. The big draw is the incredible amount of street art. It’s everywhere! Besides that, you’re right next to the Pacific Ocean, which means you can take a dip or an evening boat ride to take in the city lights. Tips: ☀️ Take a free walking tour from the main square in order to learn more about the history and art all around you. Look for the guides in the striped shirts. ☀️ It’s very hilly, so wear good shoes for walking around. ☀️ Be sure to take the asensores, Valparaiso’s unique public transit system of elevators. #travelinspiration #southamerica #Chile #streetart

Sunny Santiago ☀️

Pretty Puyuhuapi

Set along an incredible fjord in Patagonia, Puyuhuapi is a typical, picturesque town in Chilean Patagonia. The big draw here is nearby Parque Nacional Queulat. There, you can take a hike to the Ventisqieuro Colgante, or Hanging Galcier. The hike is mostly uphill, but totally worth it. Weaving your way up, you go through the dense forest, past moss covered rocks and up to a viewing platform. From here, you get amazing views of a glacier and a magnificent waterfall. Tips: 🔹Rent a kayak in town to paddle around the fjord. 🔹The national park is about 30 minutes from town. Hostels and hotels in town will help you arrange transport. #southamerica #hiking #travelinspiration #Chile

Kayak Through Marble Caves ✨

Kayaking through these marble caves had been on our bucket list for a while! Puerto Rio Tranquilo is on the shores of Lago General Carrera, deep in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. 🇨🇱 Here, you can kayak through sparkling turquoise waters and marble caves. If you’re planning a trip through Patagonia, be sure to add it to your list! 🔹 Kayak tours can be booked on the Main Street, near the lake. 🔹 Power boat tours are also offered. They cover a larger area, but you won’t be able to kayak through the caves. #travelinspiration #southamerica #Chile #Patagonia

365 days active “Volcano Villerrica” at pucon

The Villarrica Volcano, which is 2,847 meters high, is the unquestionable figure in the national park bearing the same name and one of the biggest attractions for visitors to the tourist city of Pucón. Its original name is Rucapillán, which in the Mapuche tonge mens “house of the devil”. It would seem as if the devil still lived inside the Villarrica Volcano, because it has been one of the most active volcanoes in South America in the last few decades.#chile #adventure #tours #landscape
