The architect Emilio Jequier designed this beautiful palace and museum to replicate the Petit Palais of Paris. The palace now houses the Fine Arts Museum, one of the most important in the country and the oldest in South America.

This is a minitown, kind of neighborhood, where every house is a souvenir shop. There are lots of stuff to buy, handcraft, etc. On Sundays there are sometimes people dancing chilean folklore. You need at least half a day to see it all. I highly recomend this to visit to everyone you will love it
Puerto Varas is a town located in the south of Chile, well known for its food, specially fish and seafood, and for its German traditions. From the Lake Llanquihue, one of the biggest natural lakes of South America, you can get an amazing view of the Osorno volcano, Mt. Calbuco and Mt. Tronador, with their beautiful snowcapped peaks.
Puerto Montt is a port city in southern Chile, and it was originally covered by a thick forest, and in 1848 a government-sponsored immigration from Germany populated the region. Definitely a great place to eat salmon, since the salmon aquaculture is one of its main economic activities, along with fishing and forestry. You will find great restaurants in this city, and if you love seafood, you'll feel just like in heaven!
Viña del Mar is a beautiful coastal city in central Chile, well known as a tourist and beach destination and for its music festival, Festival de la Cancion de Viña del Mar.

Easter Island, Rapa Nui, Isla de Pascua, is located on the Pacific Ocean, halfway to Tahiti, in Chilean territory, and it is famous for its giant stone busts that were built centuries ago. This busts are called Moai, and are archaeological features, so please be careful when you are around, the look tough but actually are pretty fragile. The Moai are located along the coastline, and you can also visit the inland quarry, a 300 foot volcano remnant which provided the stones for the Moai carving.
Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago off the south of South America and is separated from the mainland by the Magellan Strait. It is divided between Argentina and Chile since 1881, being the eastern part Argentinian territory and the western part (Magallanes province) Chilean territory.
The main towns are Rio Grande and Ushuaia on the Argentinian side, and Porvenir, Puerto Williams and Cape Horn on the Chilean side. Tierra del Fuego means "Land of Fire" and got its name from Ferdinand Magellan, who was passing by the archipelago back in 1520 and spotted fires burning along the coastline. The fires were made by the aboriginal inhabitants of the islands.
