ELEVEN EPIC TRAVEL EXPERIENCES TO HAVE IN CHILE

There is no place quite like Chile.

This long and skinny sliver of a country snaking down the western side of South America unifies climates, terrains and landmarks which feel like they should be worlds apart. The snow-capped peaks overlooking the capital of Santiago are only a few hours from the beaches of Viña, whilst the scorched red desert of Atacama in the north and the unrivalled glacial scenery of the Patagonian south top and tail a country from which acres of luscious vineyards bloom. Its complex topography and sheer size (stretching over 2,670 miles from tip to top), does present its challenges when planning a route but, for any traveller willing to put in the miles, venturing to Chile unlocks a cornucopia of experiences which can’t be rivalled elsewhere in the Americas.

Here are our eleven favourites travel experiences and things to do in Chile.

#1 EXPLORE THE ATACAMA DESERT

We did it on a budget by independently cycling and hiking around the cracked copper earth of driest place on earth, whilst others can spend a pretty penny on tours to visit gushing geysers, fabulous flamingos and saltwater lakes. Or you can rent a car and discover it in your own time.

Whichever way you do the Atacama Desert, best accessed via the town of San Pedro de Atacama, you will lose yourself amongst the endless stretches of tarmac and perfect landscapes which your wanderlust was made to go out and discover.

Ultimate travel guide to Dubai

Planning Dubai? Here is a detailed itinerary for Dubai. This article explains all the things to do in Dubai.

Dubai is an amazing fusion of modern architecture and ancient traditional culture and food.

Here is an ultimate travel guide to Dubai!

Best time to Visit Dubai

Summers are very hot in Dubai. The temperature during the day time can exceed over 40-45 degree Celsius as compared to the night which could be 34-38 degree Celsius.

Never plan your visit to Dubai in Summer, irrespective of discount offers.

The best time to visit Dubai is during the winters from November to April. January and February is the peak season to visit Dubai because of the Dubai Shopping Festival. You will see heavy tourist traffic across the city.

Tip: If you planning to visit Dubai during the Eid Festival then you will end up regretting the trip because most of the businesses, city, etc remain closed during the festival.

About Dubai

UAE’s official language is Arabic, but English is the spoken language almost everywhere in Dubai.

The currency in Dubai is called as DIRHAM (AED)- the Indian currency exchange rate is Dhs 1 to INR 18.92 (When I visited Dubai which was back in 2007, the currency rate was 16 INR)

Dubai is very particular about the dress code if you paying a visit to a cultural site or mosque, make sure to carry long sleeves and full-length clothes.

THE ULTIMATE 10-DAY ITINERARY ICELAND

DISCOVER ICELAND: A 10-DAY ITINERARY

We have made this 10-day itinerary in Iceland for you. Start and finish are in the capital of beautiful Iceland, Reykjavik.

After leaving Reykjavik we will explore the Golden Circle, which includes the famous Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park. From there, we head to the south coast to witness the stunning black sand beaches, glaciers, and waterfalls.

After we have visited the South Coast we follow the East fjords to Akureyri and Husavik. We end this 10-day itinerary in Iceland with the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the Blue Lagoon.

BEST TIME TO VISIT ICELAND

The best time to visit Iceland depends on what you want to see and do. The peak tourist season in Iceland is during the summer months, from June to August when the days are long and the weather is mild. However, this is also the time when the country is the most crowded, and prices for accommodation and tours are higher.

For those who want to experience the famous Northern Lights, the best time to visit Iceland is during the winter months, from November to February. During this time, the days are short, and the weather is cold, but the dark nights provide the perfect conditions for viewing the Aurora Borealis. Keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and there is no guarantee that you will see them, even during the best time of the year.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the best time to visit Iceland is during the shoulder seas[……]
