Chile’s famed Atacama Desert lies in the north near the border with Bolivia. Driving into San Pedro de Atacama, a hub of activity in the sparsely populated region, I had time to take in the rocky, ochre-colored expanses of one of the driest places in the world.
Heading south from Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego is the most remote region of Chile. This is where the tip of South America breaks into a watery wonderland of massive mountainous islands, emerald fjords, and ancient glaciers.

Few areas in the world have a more mystical attraction than this small speck of land, one of the most isolated places on Earth. It is difficult to feel connected to Chile, more than 3700 km to the east, much less to the world in general. Endowed with the most challenging statues of logic on the planet, the surprisingly familiar moai, Easter Island (Rapa Nui for its native Polynesian inhabitants) emanates a magnetic and mysterious environment.
But Easter Island is much more than an open-air museum. Diving, snorkeling and surfing are fabulous. On land, there is no better ecological way to experience the wild beauty of the island than on foot, from a saddle by bicycle or on horseback. But if all you want to do is recharge the batteries, a couple of magnificent extensions of white sand await you.
Although Easter Island is world famous and visitors are on the rise, everything is still small and pleasant: everything is about ecotravel.

The huge stone figures of Easter Island have deceived explorers, researchers and the world in general for centuries, but now experts say they have discovered one of the greatest mysteries: why statues are where they are.
Researchers say they have analyzed the locations of the megalithic platforms, or, in which many of the statues are known as moai sit, as well as the scrutiny sites of the island’s resources, and have discovered that the structures are typically found near fresh water sources. Water .
They say that the finding supports the idea that aspects of the construction of platforms and statues, such as their size, could be linked to the abundance and quality of such supplies.
“The important thing about this is that it shows that the locations of the statues in themselves are not a strange ritual place – [the ahu and the moai] represent the ritual in the sense that they have a symbolic meaning, but are integrated into the lives from the community., “said Professor Carl Lipo of Binghamton University in New York, who co-authored the research.
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, has more than 300 megalithic platforms, each of which could have been created by a separate community. It is believed that the first of these was built in the 13th century, and many were found around the coast.
It is believed that the monuments represented the ancestors and were linked to ritual activity, forming a focal point for the communities, but the reason for their location was previously a mystery. While studies have suggested that the sites may have been chosen because of a link to key resources, the team says the most recent research is the first attempt to analyze such claims.
The team focused on the east of the island, where several resources have been mapped, and observed the distribution of 93 megalithic platforms built before European sailors appeared in the 18th century.
After not finding any link with the proximity of the rock used for tools or for the monuments, they observed if the ahu were close to other important resources: gardens with stones in which crops such as sweet potato were cultivated, fishing-related sites and sources. of fresh water.
