There is a Moon Valley in the Atacama Desert of Chile, named after its geological and similar lunar surface. During the day, the Moon Valley is hot and the tourists are in a constant stream, and the cold winds in the night are unremarkable. There is a secret in the Moon Valley, which is to look at the valley on the full moon night. Under the moonlight, the ore in the rock will sparkle, and the stars everywhere will echo the stars of the moon, just like walking in the universe.
San Pedro de Atacama is a small travel agency that can book a group to go to the moon. 70,000 pesos 4 tours. Many people will go to the sunset group of the brightness of the month. Because the sunset here is particularly spectacular.
I also saw self-driving, but it seems that there are not many ~ it is recommended to report to the group to save trouble.
Take more water and dress more!

There are rivers and lakes in the place where graffiti is there, and there are places where there are rivers and lakes!
The gates of Graffiti Mountain City are like the hidden magic entrance in Harry Potter. From the narrow to the one-passage alley to the old-fashioned elevator, the elevator rises at a 45-degree angle, and it really enters the legendary [Chile] graffiti art holy place - Valparaiso ~
This small town is less than 2 hours drive from San Diego and can be used for a day trip. It used to be a village of Indians and later became a colony of the Spanish. As a result, the style has changed dramatically and it has become such a diverse and colorful city.
The local public transportation is very developed. You can take the bus directly to the San Diego bus terminal (every half an hour, there is a lot of car to worry about)~ Go to Valparaiso to find the elevator entrance into the mountain city. How to find the specific entrance, can only rely on you to ask the locals ~ I am also brought into the city full of hahahaha
this hill town "devil ghost" rampage, everywhere is a surprise ~ absolutely you Another world that can't be imagined! ! !

Driving on the border between Chile and Bolivia, stopping on the way to the snow-capped mountains, plateaus, lakes, llamas... I met a wounded, treacherous little fox, and divided it into a piece of meat...
Nature is like a Pandora's box. There is wind in the box, there is snow, there are mountains, there is water, there is sunshine, there are life, everything is changed, crushed, reorganized, and then smashed with the seasons. Reorganize... No one can read all this change, so there are a thousand kinds of scenery in the eyes of a thousand people...
I didn't cry, but my nose couldn't stop.
Traffic:
You can book directly from the small town of San Pedro de Atacama in the Atacama Desert ~ one day trip, start early in the morning and return at night. The price is between 70-120 US dollars, depending on how you go to the local area to bargain with the travel agency.
The scenery there is beautiful, personal feeling, more suitable for driving. So if you have the ability, you can rent a car and enjoy the scenery along the way!
Ps: Remember to wear thick clothes! The wind is very big, huge cold!

It is important to visit a scenic spot in the Baie National Park in Chile. The guide told us that during the summer tourist season, this viewing platform that can be photographed with Xueshan listened to 10 tourist buses in minutes, and said that 50 people would line up for photography. The most interesting cognition of the peak travel is to go up the stairs after entering the Baine National Park. It is said that the wind speed here can reach 120 meters per second in summer, and many tourists will be turned over by the wind. Although the summer temperature will be a few degrees warmer than the present, but after all, it is the wind from the glacier, in fact, it really hangs on the skin, and the average temperature of 0 to 3 degrees is not much different.
Why did the name "Baiine Paine" come from? In fact, in the local language, Paine means "blue". Here is blue, the mountain is blue, the sky is blue, and "Bene" is named. Of course, in the late autumn, a lot of colors were added to Benedict.
In addition to the wrong peak, you can choose to visit Baiyuan in the late autumn. You must not miss the one-night stay in the Baie National Park and the glaciers of the famous Glacier. Since
Benee National Park can be rated as "the 50 places that must be visited in the world", its power is naturally amazing. As a flower that is still rippling in the aftermath of the shock, I hope that everyone can see such a beautiful scene.

San Cristobal Hill is located in the Metropolitan Park in the northeast of Santiago, Chile. It is the highest point of the city of Santiago, the end of a small branch of the Andes. The colonial period was named "San Cristobal" - the protector of the traveler, which means that the mountain can guide those who travel to San Diego to reach their destination.
Because there is a giant white Madonna on the top of the mountain, it is called the Madonna. Although it is less than 900 meters above sea level, it is a good place to overlook the whole city of Santiago. It is also the most attractive park in the Chilean capital, so it is also referred to as the Capital Garden.
Standing on the top of the mountain, leaning against the Madonna overlooking this ancient city with more than 400 years of history, the scenery of the whole city is so easy to see. Due to the fine weather, the area that can be seen in the field of vision is far away. In the distance, there are some snow-covered Andes mountains looming, the clouds are like a fairyland
, but the polarization of the difference between the rich and the poor in San Diego can also be seen here. Chu. On the east side of the Mount Virgin, bustling downtown and high-rise buildings, the only high-rise buildings in the city are concentrated in that small area. On the north side of the Madonna is a slum, there is no high-rise building, no building, only a small piece of broken and smashed gray cottage. Under the same city in the same sky, there is a completely different life. The gap in life is so great that people cant help but be embarrassed.

A day @ Valparaso Known as the cultural capital of Chile, once the "Pearl of the Pacific Ocean", there is almost no flat land, full of murals, artists and music, and the violent explosion of the whole day! f

When it comes to South America, what do you think of? Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, etc., many people may not think of Chile as a niche country. In fact, Chile has just been rated as the top 10 most worthy country in 2018. This tall and thin Chile has a total length of 4,300 kilometers. It spans 38 latitudes;
extends from the driest desert to the vast ice sheet, a skinny country that retains the most pristine landscape on earth. You can go to San Diego and experience the art center surrounded by classical architecture. You can go to Valparaiso to make a rainbow dream in the seaside city. You can also go to Punta Arenas to see the end of the world. You can also go to Easter Island and admire the mysterious giant stone statues. This is the surprise given by Chile. Thanks to the roaming Superman, you can share the beauty with you all the way.

Chile, a country of literature and art, has a romantic artistic sense and a mysterious historical legend. Although there are no direct flights in China at present, it is definitely worthwhile for you to cross the sea to play. You can avoid signing with the US sign.
Today's first stop, "The City of Erotic" Valparaiso, also known as "Pacific Pearl", is a must-see for you to come to Chile. Nobel literary winner Neruda has lived here for it. Write down the most beautiful words, the painters in the streets, wherever they are, dye the color. The 28 elevators that connect the Concepcin Mountains and the seaside flats are the most special means of transportation. They have been 134 years old and are one of the best ways to see the city. Although it has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it is often easy to catch fire here, so the beautiful scenery is still coming early, otherwise it may not be seen any day. There is Chile's strongest color and it is also an art paradise for artists.
The second stop is the seaside town of Via, which is desert and faces the sea. It is also the life that Haizi yearns for facing the sea and spring blossoms.
Third stop, veramonte winery, where you can taste not only the most authentic white and red wines in Chile, but also the fermentation and aging process of the wine. In a short two-day trip to Chile, I found that I have fallen in love with this magical country, Chile, waiting for me to come back.

The San Diego Arms Plaza is located in the urban area. When the Weapons Square was still colonized by Spain in Spain, the Spaniards used a lot of weapons in the Arms Square to shock the local aborigines.
Today's Weapons Square has become a place for local citizens to meet, shop, set up, and perform. It is surrounded by the most important religious, political and cultural institutions in San Diego. On the west side of the square is the largest and most magnificent cathedral in Chile.

The presidential palace is called La Moneda Palace, which means currency in Spanish. Before the Chilean colonial rule in early 19th century, it was once a coinage factory, so the La Moneda Palace is still an important cultural relic site. On the Constitution Square outside the North Gate of the Presidential Palace, tall bronze statues of Allende stand. The
La Moneda Palace is generally open to visitors free of charge, with the exception of major state events; visitors can admire this white colonial-style building in any courtyard, or at 80 East Gate - Morand Street ( Morande 80) President Allende who died in the 1973 military coup.

The feeling that Valparaiso gave me was very amazing. In the colorful towns, you dont need a conspicuous attraction to become full of flavors. Old houses are everywhere, and the winding alleys and mountain roads are worthwhile. Walk some time. Although there is not much scope around the
lookout, there are still many places where you can take pictures. There is also a White House-like building on the hillside, which is actually a museum and requires extra tickets. When we didn't go in, we patted it on the big grass outside. A sculpture of a fixed machine gun on the lawn could go up and pretend to shoot. Facing such a beautiful scenery, lying on the lawn or sitting comfortably is a very good enjoyment.
Because the city is built on a large number of steep slopes and overlooking the Pacific Ocean directly, Valparaiso is proud to claim that the labyrinth of urban roads and cobblestone alleys reflect the city's rich architectural and cultural heritage. Valparaiso is currently protected by the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The compass has arrived here. The South is an endless ocean. Antarctica has been able to meet in the voyage two days later. It can also be said to be the farthest continent from the Arctic. It is still quite big on the compass at the end of this world. of. The wind of
Punta Arenas is really like a devil. The instantaneous wind can blow people down, even the trees have to be built into a specific shape, otherwise it is easy to blow down. If there is no real perception of its wind, you can definitely feel it when you arrive by plane. The bumps are absolutely unseen, and you may even wonder if this is your last flight. I almost vomited and screamed out of the plane. When I went out, I saw that the telephone poles were shaking hard, and it was no different from the Guangdong typhoon.
Punta Arenas has three pillar industries. The number of sheep is already several times that of the population. The quality of the wool here is definitely good. Since it has resisted such a strong wind, what else can it resist? The other two pillar industries here are the natural gas industry and the fishery. Even if the electricity is converted from natural gas, there is a lot of natural gas resources here. It should be a wind power generation, but it is estimated that the wind will become as fast as a fan. The windmill can't stand it anymore.

Spain Weapons Square is a very important attraction in Chile. The beautiful square that you can see in Chile is very much a year of life. It is surrounded by beautiful buildings and people are full of joy and joy.
Plaza de Armas is located in the heart of downtown San Diego and is also the historical center of San Diego. Since the establishment of the city of Santiago in 1541, Plaza Amas has gradually become the center of administrative, commercial and social life, and today it is still the center of urban life. Plaza de Armas, Spanish means the Plaza of the Arms, formerly known as the Grand Place.
In 1541, Pedro de Valdivia built a city in Santiago, and immediately ordered the construction of a weapons square in the center of the city. According to Spanish practice, the location of the squares of cities established in the Americas needs to be flat and open. The original square has a gallows that symbolizes royal law.

The reason for going to Baine is very rude: I want to see blue ice. There are many places in the world where glaciers can be seen, but to see the blue ice floating on the lake, it is estimated that many people only know about the Antarctic. However, the Antarctic is so difficult to go so expensive, you do not know that there is still a hundred in the world. The
Benee National Park's "Grey Glacier" is named after the glacier movement that stirs the gray at the bottom of the lake. The most famous of these glaciers is ice floes that are unreal and can be seen at close range. The extremely high oxygen content in the ice makes this unique beauty.
From our hotel, come to the boarding point for a walk of about 2.5 kilometers. The 180-minute "ice-seeking" journey begins!
As we get closer and closer to the big glaciers, we are getting more and more excited. There is also a free pisco on board, which is Chilean national drink - grape spirits. With the strength and warmth, you have the courage to face the wind blowing from the glacier - let my hands and face break instantly skin.
The wind is always too big to hide in the inner cabin. After all, everything is more important than anything else. Looking at the floating ice drifting around, I feel that my wish has been reached.
The boat fare is 750 yuan/adult, and you can also pick up the boat next to the island next to the glacier.
When I got off the boat and went on the road, I didnt consciously watch the world cry like a 200-pound baby - He De He He He De He! Bring back the love and come back here, I promised myself.
Today's Bai Nei and yesterday are not the same again, that shy and shock, is a gift of nature!

The colorful streets near the car immediately caught my eye. A quaint and colorful building made you feel like you walked into the film studio. Every wooden door is so old.
I thought it was just like the Plaza de Armas yesterday, just a square plus some colonial-style buildings. After getting off the bus, I realized that the colors and patterns of the Navy Square are so rich. Going right from the Mint Blue building, it is a lively brick and stone road, the shops on both sides are very rich in color, the store is not too conspicuous, and only when you walk in can you really feel its interest
The nightlife of Valparaiso is considered to be the best in Chile, and as the port has a wide variety of bars and nightclubs, it is also the place where sailors and students are most happy. Among them, the La Praia Bar and the La Piedra de Phillips, Vivo and Ingles bars are the most popular near Sotomayor Square.

A big wish to go to Chile is to eat cherries! After all, China is the largest importer of Chilean cherries. The Chilean cherries sold in the country are expensive, and the fruits of Chile are cheap to cry! however! It is not the season for the listing of the cherries! No cherries to sell! Sapo wants to eat a cherry!
But! Kiwifruit (like kiwi) for two pounds as long as ten dollars! Other fruits are also very cheap! It is expensive for vegetables [Frown]. Then I have to eat some other fruits to solve the wow.

It happened to meet Chiles Independence Day, which is the National Day! Catch up with the local people's park temple meeting, what is wrong, it is a gathering, all shops are almost closed, only this park! huge! many!
I saw a balloon floating in the air, I thought it was a small advertisement, and later I learned that it was used for aerial photography []. This way is good original hahaha.
The patrolman has horseback riding, cool! South America, where the law and order is a little bad, is also a lot of security for this kind of public patrol. Chileans love to dance with their hands (Quika) [Frown], and take time to dance every year. Basic locals will dance and have a customary advantage.
Summary of this rare holiday period is the local people's temple carnival, I will not be very incomprehensible in the Spanish language hahaha.

Waiting for two days in the Chilean capital of Santiago is for today's National Day military parade! Looking at it, I want to go home. Hahaha, I mean that the 80th day should be October 1 and I cant wait to go back to celebrate the motherlands mother, Keke!
It took a long time to queue up! people! huge! many! The younger brothers of the army are very handsome. The
OHiggins Park parade is a fixed program of the year, and today's military parade is a memory of the historical struggles. At the celebration, people will carry the Chilean flag and various decorations with flag elements to express their national pride.

In South America, the days have been a little bit mourning. I bought ten mineral waters in South America, accidentally took soda water eight times, and then wetted myself five times.
After spending less than ten days in Chile, I experienced two earthquakes. The first earthquake was on the bed of the hotel. Suddenly I felt a sway, the ceiling lights kept shaking, and it took about three seconds to grab the phone. Put on the slippers and run to the bottom of the building. I don't take the elevator and run the stairs directly. Fortunately, I live on the fifth floor. According to my speed of one hundred meters and eleven seconds, I will go to the bottom of the building. The uncle at the bottom of the building saw me in a pajamas. A pair of people would not be a fool's expression. Then I reacted to comfort me. Although I can't understand what his Spanish is saying, the general meaning is not to worry about nothing. So I went back to the room.
Then there is a Chinese friend who lives in Chile and told me that it was just an earthquake. I also comforted me not to worry. The earthquake in Chile was normal. The small earthquake was fine, and the big earthquake could not run. Which is the comfort of this? ? ?
The second time I felt the earthquake, I was not surprised. At the airport, everyone was very calm, so I was not moving.
