This northern part, at the same time, is a mineral rich region too – blessed with one of the world’s largest copper reserves (Chuquicamata). It is not only the burgeoning trade in minerals but also its many ports, where a variety of goods from Asia are distributed to neighboring countries, which has kept its economy always buoyant. And add to this the tourists, whose number is only rapidly increasing, thanks to its beautiful Andean-range mountains, salt lakes on their high plateau, filled with unique species of Pink Flamingos and Condors and animals like Llamas, Alpacas and Guanacos. Northern Chile is prosperous, beautiful and serene, all at the same time.
Moon on Earth! :
But we are not done with Northern Chile yet. There is another fascinating and oft visited place in this region which is extraordinarily attractive by its similarity with the moon surface and natural coliseo of great dimensions. Aptly known as “the Moon Valley” and wonderfully formed by the natural forces of the encounter of the Atacama desert with the Andes mountain range, this region is, infact, a slice of the moon surface, complete with interesting sand and stone formations, absolutely majestic in its silence, bereft of plant or animal life. It is imposing yet beautiful, especially in the twilight hours when the Sun makes escarpments of green, blue, red and yellow colors with the most diverse and surprising forms. This is the place NASA tests vehicles designed for Martian or Lunar grounds.
It is like walking on the moon Paranal Observatory framed by the moon.
Santiago - Stunning and Booming :
Coming to the central region of this country, it is a different feel altogether with a pleasant Mediterranean type of climate. More than half the country’s population live here. Santiago, the capital city of six millions inhabitants, is a bustling city and quite modern: new highways pass under the river that runs through it while tunnels and fast roads crisscross the city. The underground transport system is a spick-and-span system known for its efficiency and moderate cost. The omnipresent Andes are the backdrop for the city. The amazing feature of this place is that within one hour you can be at the office, skiing at one of the many ski resorts or resting at a beach by the Pacific Ocean!
