Travelers’ chronicles resonating in European media
In the UK, the Daily Mail dedicated an article to the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, considered the most iconic environmental documentary filmmaker in history. The publication highlighted the scientist’s top recommendations, where he praised Chilean Patagonia and shared his experience tracking pumas. The Cuernos del Paine even featured as the article’s cover.
Meanwhile, the German channel ZDF shared the story of three Germans living in our country: Agnes, who researches nature in the south; Harm, who organizes motorcycle tours through the Andes and the vineyards; and Ellen, who promotes surfing in Matanzas. The piece notes that Chile is ideal for living and traveling.
Fjords, cruises, and the magical Chilean autumn
The French portal Voyages featured a road trip through Chile. The outlet highlighted our country’s variety of landscapes, showcasing the Atacama Desert, Patagonia, and Rapa Nui in a journey that includes nature, volcanoes, and starry skies. Meanwhile, the Canadian portal The Gazette highlighted Chile’s “pristine fjords” as a key stop for Viking Cruises in South America.
Meanwhile, Argentina’s Los Andes newspaper pointed out that Chile is an ideal destination to visit in autumn. The outlet highlighted the ochre tones appearing in the vineyards of the Coquimbo Region, Mahuida Park in La Reina, Peumayén Tenglo Park in Maule, and Laguna del Laja National Park in Biobío.
The mysteries of Rapa Nui dazzle the world
In Spain, Diario Qué! compiled ten destinations with enigmas that remain to this day. It included Rapa Nui and its moai on its list, questioning how the ancient inhabitants were able to move them from the Rano Raraku quarry to their current locations. The publication emphasized that the islanders had no pack animals and did not use the wheel.
The island was also praised as a place of “mysteries and living culture” by the Brazilian outlet UAI Turismo. The portal recommended a trip of at least 5 to 7 days to “absorb its energy,” pointing to the importance of planning park entry and hiring local guides in advance.
