Chile and Easter Island

We see the El Brujo (Witch) glacier.

What the local people of that time thought of themselves through art.

This is a map of Easter Island. The numbers in red are all the places that we visited while on the island.

We have now returned to Santiago, Chile after a great 5 days visiting Easter Island.

Traffic is very congested within Santiago.

Los Flamencos National Reserve is a nature reserve located in the commune of San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta Region of northern Chile. The reserve covers a total area of 180,000 acres in the Central Andean dry puna eco region and consists of seven separate sections.

Entering the twenty-first century, rapid development persisted in Santiago. The Civic District was renewed with the creation of the Plaza de la Ciudadanía and construction of the Ciudad Parque Bicentenario to commemorate the bicentenary of the Republic. The development of tall buildings continues in the eastern sector, which culminated in the opening of the skyscrapers.

This afternoon we drove from Santiago, 1 hour, to the wine country and to a very special Bodega, (Winery), Vino Munoz Robles, (Munoz Robles Wines), Paseo del Vinos, (Walk of Wines).

Paseo del Vino, the name of the wines were indeed very good. The motto of the Paseo del Vino is to provide a meeting place where people gather to enjoy the magic world of wine.

December 2011 the keel of the replica was liad and construction of the Beagle began at the museum. It was completed in February 2016.

Giant molinas or wind mills on the Atacama desert floor located in Northern Chile.

The main collection of the museum is the full-size replicas of historic ships on display along the Straits of Magellan.

A large piece of cork. It looks similar to bark on a tree only much thicker.
