Easter Island is the ideal place to scuba dive and snorkel because it has crystal clear and pollution-free waters.

The Atacama Desert of northern Chile is a dream destination for stargazers, with high altitude, a virtually cloudless climate (300 clear nights per year), and sparse settlements that minimize distracting light pollution and radio interference. A series of near-perfect conditions such as dry clear nights, low light pollution, and high elevations, have made Chile a favourite location for research observatories. Diego Mardones, Astronomer from the University of Chile comments, "If you want to find another [observation area] like Chile, your options are Antarctica or space". It's no surprise that ...

SANTIAGO DE CHILE, THE BEST PLACE TO GO IN 2011, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES! Undaunted by an earthquake, a city embraces modern culture. Less than a year after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake wreaked havoc in Chile, its capital, Santiago, has largely recovered, the economy continues to grow, and tourism is in an upswing. Though the quake, which caused hundreds of casualties, was centered more than 200 miles away, many of Santiago's older buildings were damaged, including the Museum of Fine Arts. But the earthquake last year — and another in Chile last week that caused more panic than damage —...

The second largest island in South America - after Tierra del Fuego- measuring 290 miles from north to south. The coastal mountains cross its entire length, creating two completely different environments. Towards the Pacific, the coast receives constant damp winds from the ocean and heavy rainfalls, so there is abundant vegetation. Facing the continent, the island's microclimate allows for human life with all its folklore and varied mythology, its cuisine - such as the typical curanto- and all necessary agricultural crops. With their maritime tradition, these people built most of their homes o...

SCUBA DIVING AT EASTER ISLAND by andreasbad Easter Island is the ideal place to scuba dive and snorkel because it has crystal clear and pollution-free waters. Due to its volcanic origin, the island presents an exceptional topography, as well as corals and a rich submarine life. On the seabed, it is easy to observe a great variety of fish that swim with the divers, such as the blowfish, the trumpet fish, the butterfly fish, the porcupine fish and the Mediterranean moray, as well as turtles. This sport welcomes non-competitive professionals and amateurs. The only purpose is to enjoy the visual paradise offered by the flora and fauna, the average temperatures of 22 ºC in the summer and the visibility of up to 50 meters in deep sea. In Rapa Nui, it is possible to dive year round. However, it is important to consider that there are no reef barriers, so it is sometimes difficult to reach some places, especially between June and September. If the sea is too rough, diving trips are cancelled.
