Chile
Travel to Chile for a holiday or city break
Some say the best travel destination popular things to do or visit in Chile involve standing still and listening to the wind, but most end up with sand in their shoes anyway. You see, in Santiago, the mountains tap you on the shoulder, and the sea tries to steal your hat. I once met a man on a bus who insisted you could taste every season in a single empanada — I never proved him wrong. The best hotel in Chile? Well, that’s a question only your pillow can answer, though I did sleep once in a room where the window didn’t close, and the stars came in uninvited. You can try to plan, or you can let the stray dogs lead you — either way you’ll leave with more stories than socks.

To start, you might feel like the Atacama Desert is a place to lose your mind or just your sunscreen, but both outcomes are possible. People often hike the Valle de la Luna at sunset, snapping photos as if memory alone won’t do the job. The salt flats whisper underfoot; sometimes, I swear, they giggle when shoes squeak. In Valparaíso, the hills play tricks on your knees, and the street art seems to move when you’re not looking, possibly because it does. I once tried to count all the colors on one wall—gave up at thirty-seven and bought an ice cream instead.
Patagonia stretches out like a long yawn, daring you to try every hiking trail. Most only manage a small bite, but that’s just the way it crumbles. Do not trust the weather forecast — even the locals give up and just carry a raincoat, a sunhat, and a sense of humor. The best hotel in Chile is always the one with hot shower after a cold trek, unless you forget your towel (again). If you really want to know the popular things to do or visit, ask a local but beware: you might end up with a new favorite dish or a stray dog following you home. Just rememeber, maps here are more like suggestions than rules.
