Famous places:

Chile's main tourist attractions are places of natural landscapes in the extreme zones of the country (north and south).

Near the location on Putre, on the north, is really appreciable the combination of the “Chungará” lake and the  “Parinaota” volcano which is more than 4,500 meters high.

San Pedro de Atacama in the north of the country, is visited most by foreign tourists to appreciate the Inca architecture of the town, the highland lakes, the Valley of the Moon (“valle de la luna”) and the wonderful Tatio geysers (“Geisers del Tatio”).
