Salty-desert tops and glaciers at the bottom: Chile is full of nature and phenomenal landscapes. This narrow country is filled with geysers, mountains, beaches, forests and volcanoes. Chile occupies an area of 290,000 square miles, and has a population of 16 million. Its capital is Santiago (with one-third of the country's population). Besides its continental travel attractions, Chile also owns Easter Island (Rapanui) in Polynesia.
Santiago de Chile is a modern prosperous city. The area of Parque O'Higgins (also called El Pueblito) has several full-size replicas of rural buildings. The Museo del Huaso often hosts folk concerts, and has an impressive collection of ponchos and hats.
Easter Island lies 2,300 miles west of the continent. Easter Island is probably the world's most remote inhabited island, and is located in Polynesia. The mysterious stone heads have been attracting visitors from all over the world.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
