Where to go? The most amazing places we visited are those around San Pedro de Atacama: mountains, lagoons, geysir, deserts and canyons. Our itinerary also took us to the Parque Pan de Azucar, at the spectacular Nevado de Tres Cruces park, in the Elqui Valley, on the coast between Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, Santiago and near Cajon del Maipo. Patagonia is also incredible, a route from Punta Arenas to the Fitz Roy passing through Torres del Paine and Perito Moreno offers numerous joys. There are other deserving destinations between one attraction and another, but these were the main destinations of this wonderful journey.
Other destinations? There are many spectacular destinations and unwit streets between Chile and Argentine Patagonia. The list is long and can be worth several holidays: the highlands in the extreme north of Chile (to be joined to a trip to Bolivia, maybe), Lakes, Volcanoes and forests south of Santiago, the Carretera Austral that crosses the Andes and leads into Patagonia.
