San Pedro de Atacama and Surroundings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/San-Pedro-de-Atacama.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSan Pedro de Atacama<\/a> is one of the top tourist destinations in our country, and visiting it during Easter is a great choice. Because, even though we’d love to stay forever surrounded by the wonderful colors of the world’s driest desert, the reality is that it can be perfectly visited in 4 or 5 days.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nA cosmopolitan town that reveals a magical atmosphere, full of must-see tourist attractions: Valle de la Luna<\/strong> and Valle de Marte<\/strong>, the highland lagoons, the Tatio geysers, and the salt flats are perfect to visit during April, when the warm weather stabilizes and allows you to peacefully enjoy each of its natural wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCaldera and Bah\u00eda Inglesa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Panoramic](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/Bahia-Inglesa-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nApril is ideal for visiting beach resorts like Bah\u00eda Inglesa<\/a>, as the low season offers nearly deserted beaches, with turquoise waters and white sands<\/strong> that invite you to enjoy the warm sun rays. You can also take boat trips to visit Isla El Morro and enjoy water activities like kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing, flyboarding, surfing, and diving. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNearby is Caldera<\/strong>, a bright little town (because the sun is always present) that seems lost in the middle of the Atacama Desert, but has plenty of charm. Explore it and enjoy the exotic mix of sea and desert, which offers sparse but globally unique flora. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLa Serena and Coquimbo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Panoramic](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/La-Serena-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCinema, music, and crafts are what La Serena<\/a> offers, Chile’s second oldest city. It features beautiful architecture and a sublime, extensive coastline crowned by 29 Catholic churches. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIts rich cultural offerings include three iconic landmarks: Centro Cultural Santa In\u00e9s<\/strong>, the Municipal Theater<\/strong>, and Plaza Santo Domingo<\/strong>, which open their doors throughout the weekend to welcome families and tourists interested in learning more about the traditions of one of the most charismatic places in Chile to visit during Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, the city of Coquimbo and its imposing Cruz del Tercer Milenio<\/strong> also invite you to enjoy a series of cultural and traditional activities during the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVi\u00f1a del Mar and Valpara\u00edso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/Valpara\u00edso-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJust 1.5 hours from Santiago, Vi\u00f1a del Mar<\/a> and Valpara\u00edso<\/a> are perfect cities to visit during Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nValpara\u00edso<\/strong> looks like an amphitheater facing the bay and the horizon. The beauty of the port, the colors of its hills, as well as the large and small ships that dock on its shores, make this city a must-see in central Chile. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, in Vi\u00f1a del Mar<\/strong> a unique ritual takes place along its main beach. It’s the massive Via Crucis, which more than a religious celebration, is a beautiful and intimate spectacle that brings together residents and visitors of Re\u00f1aca. For a moment, all the city lights are turned off, and the beach fills with lit candles that pass from one end to the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSanta Cruz and Colchagua<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Panoramic](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/Valle-de-Colchagua.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe vineyards of the Colchagua Valley<\/a> are magical. The gastronomy, beautiful harvest landscapes, and delicious wines offer an exquisite experience. This, combined with the area’s boutique hotels and variety of countryside activities, invites you to enjoy the surroundings and tranquility of this place. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIts epicenter is Santa Cruz<\/strong>, with a wide range of tourist services and cultural activities such as museums, exhibitions, astronomical tours, and talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPuerto Varas and Frutillar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/puerto-varas.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn southern Chile, the snow-capped peaks of Osorno volcano<\/strong> and Calbuco watch over the picturesque city of Puerto Varas<\/a> and its spectacular Lake Llanquihue. The best way to experience it is on foot, from end to end, exploring its houses with unmistakable German architecture, its modern residential neighborhoods with beautiful gardens, and visiting the impressive and colorful Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\nVisit Frutillar<\/a>, known as “The City of Roses”<\/strong> for the abundance of these flowers adorning its streets\u2014you can reach it by following the shore of Lake Llanquihue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA picturesque and charming town with German reminiscences<\/strong>, it offers walks around its beautiful colonial houses and tours of delightful local shops specializing in sweet preparations, like kuchen and thousand-layer cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChilo\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2019\/03\/Chiloe.jpg\")
