| Chile Travel & Tours
arranged by LARC Travel include a vast variety of destinations
and activities, as well as discount air fares. |
| Chile
has a unique shape - a narrow strip of land running between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes
Mountains. To the north, her neighbors are Peru and Bolivia, and to the east -
across the Andes, lies Argentina. |
Chile
is comprised of different contrasting territories. |
|
|
| The
extreme north
has the brown Atacama Desert with places where no rain has ever been recorded. The Southeast
region features imposing glacier fields and lush green forests. The snowcapped Andes form
the eastern border, and Pacific Ocean is the western border. |
|
| Atacama Desert holds amazing
archaeological remnants: 10,000 year-old mummies, huge petroglyphs, and Rupestrian
paintings. A wide range of wild fauna and natural phenomena abound in its national parks. |
|
|
|
|
| Easter Island, a far-flung and lonely island, situated in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean, features a real outdoor museum - the cradle of an enigmatic civilization
whose origins are still unknown. |
|
Santiago, the nation's capital, is in the Central Region, noted for its
fertile valleys. The region features vast vineyards, giving birth to some of the best
wines in the world - and some of the best snow skiing in the world is close at hand.
|
 The
Chilean Patagonia is
noted for its landscape of outstanding beauty and is one of the last pristine regions of
the planet. A zone with magnificent national parks, declared a world biosphere reserve,
famous for its profusion of wild life within a spectacular environment - surrounded by
breathtaking mountains, channels, glaciers and lakes. We take you on Volcano
tours here, and in the Argentine Patagonia!
|
In the southernmost region of the world,
where the sea and the mountains meet, the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans merge, silence is touching, and flora, fauna, and
geography arouse the senses. In this wild and magic area,
glaciers, perennial snow, sea-lions, penguins, and the lush
vegetation will be witness to the passage of the Mare Australis
Expedition Cruise through legendary sea routes that bring to
mind the history of sailors and natives in one of the most
unexplored areas of the planet, a region unimaginably beautiful
and indomitable, unspoiled and imposing.

Patagonia is synonymous with vast landscapes, adventure, uniqueness,
and remoteness - a land of unpolluted beauty and loneliness... A place where nature has been generous - where enormous mountains, valleys, channels, islands, and glaciers are parts of surroundings that fascinates the voyager who is seeking to get in touch with the purity of nature.
Visiting Patagonia is a unique privilege for its visitors, and it is here that the Skorpios fleet gives all the quality service and over 25-years of experience with cruises to the Northern and Southern Ice Fields of the Chilean
Patagonia...
