Torres del Paine ( MAP), in the Chilean Patagonia, is one of the most famous National parks for trekking in Patagonia, if not in the entire world. Get a tent, a sleeping bag, some food and enjoy the contact with nature in a complete way, without any needs of civilization and/or real world.

Just a hour and a half driving from Santiago, on the Chilean coast there is Valparaiso (MAP), "Valpo" for the locals. It is a colourful town where lots of artists have found the good inspiration to come, and possibly live for a while.
