Located in the private Huilo-Huilo Biological Reserve in northern Patagonia, Chile, the Magic Mountain Lodge is an amazing mountain-like resort. This 13-room hotel looks like it came straight from middle of the earth. The Magic Mountain Lodge is a green project and is a celebration of the rich natural heritage that the preserve aims to protect.
You will many other interesting things in the hotel as the visitors enter the establishment on a suspended rope bridge and are greeted by a cascade of water coming down from the cone shaped green roof. You can relax in a hot tub while enjoying the view over the Chilean rain forest.

Located in Patagonia, on the border between Chile and Argentinia, Lake General Carrera is an amazing lake. The lake is spectacular because of its exceptionally blue water. However, the Marble Cathedral in the middle of the lake is even more impressive. The marble caverns offer a spectacular color game in a constant change. This means that your experience will never be the same, even if you travel the cave
several times.
The Marble Cathedral is a group of caverns, columns and tunnels formed in monoliths of marble. These unusual geological formations have been formed by wave action over the last 6,200 years. The Marble Cathedral of Lake General Carrera has become one of the most popular travel spot in Chile. One can get to the Marble Cathedral by taking a boat tour from Puerto Tranquillo, Rio Ibanez.

The Altiplano, also known as the Andean Plateau, is a high plateau that towers over the southern Andes, the longest mountain range in the world. It is located in west-central South America where the Andes are at their widest. The Altiplano is the most extensive are of high plateau on Earth outside of Tibet. It has an average height of about 3,750 meters.
The Altiplano is a sediment filled depression between the eastern and the western chains of the Andes. This area of inland drainage occupies parts of northern Chile and Argentina, western Bolivia and southern Peru. The filling of the depression occurred millions of years ago as an ancient seabed was pushed up when the modern peaks were elevated. The Altiplano, which was originally an area of land covered entirely by Lake Ballivan, has drained over time and is now an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The Altiplano is a place of amazing natural beauty. Lake Titicaca, straddling the Peru–Bolivia border, is its best known geographical feature. Another beautiful lake here is the Poopo, a salt lake that extends south of Oruro, Bolivia. The
Altiplano is simply a stunning part of the globe encompassing areas such as Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa, two large and beautiful dry salt flats formed after the Altiplano paleolakes dried out.
Attractions along the Altiplano include Atacama Desert and Amazon Rainforest. Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth and is situated south of the Altiplano. To the east of the Altiplano is the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, Amazon Rainforest. Some areas of the Altiplano are protected, including Chile’s Lauca National Park, near the town of Arica.
Easter Island is a mysterious island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It is is an island of
volcanic rock at the southeastern-most point of the Polynesian Triangle. Easter Island is best known for the giant stone
monoliths, known as Moai. It is one
of the most isolated islands in the world as the island is over 2,000 miles from the nearest population center.
Easter Island has long been the subject of curiosity and speculation because of the massive statues which surround the island. There are 887 extant monumental statues scattered in the tiny island of 163 square kilometers. Built between 1110 and 1680 AD, the Maoi statues were created by the early Rapanui people. These beautiful statues are said to have been built out of respect for the elders and deceased of tribes on the island.
Easter Island in Chile is an extremely remote island and one of the world's most famous yet least visited archaeological sites. The monuments in the Easter Island are some of the most incredible ancient relics ever discovered. However, the reasons behind carving giant statues out of volcanic rock are still unknown.

This is really amazing. A roof of 400 red umbrellas in the city of Talca, Chile. The umbrella show of 400 red umbrellas was done by the students of the University of Talca’s School of Architecture. They created a landscape of 400 red umbrellas that were suspended over
the new pedestrian mall in the city of Talca. This was actually a visual impression of the people who live in a quiet and more or less unknown city.
The sight of 400 red suspended umbrellas could almost look like the lanterns that are displayed in Asian festivals. The umbrella show was just awesome. Here are some of the pictures of the beautiful umbrella show. Have you ever seen such an amazing and extraordinary show?
