The country for travel and trips

Chile, a country with the largest coastline in the whole of South America, has always been a major tourist destination. This South American Country is encompassed by the countries like Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Considered as a home of the Andes mountain range, this country is generally inhabited by the Catholics in a large number. The Republic of Chile has its capital in Santiago with Spanish as the official language. Lying close to Pacific Ocean, it also has some of its portion in Antarctica.

Chile is a country with a  diverse range of climate, which makes traveling an adventure. Apart from its diversity in climate, it has also a wide range of flora and fauna waiting to show. Santiago, Curio, and Chaiten are notable cities which always offer something extra for tourists. Cochamo River and Patagonian Plateau are some attractions of Chile along with some mind blowing islands namely Robinson Crusoe Island, Easter Island, etc. With a population of 16 million, this is a sparsely populated country with some absolutely fascinating sceneries which include waterfalls, glaciers, blue lakes, and many national parks.

While visiting Chile, it is advisable to those who wish to travel by plane, that it is mandatory to pay ‘reciprocity fee’ (like the visa charge) before leaving the airport. Chile has good number of airports, but it is preferable to drop at Santiago Airport, which is convenient for various other reasons. It is a punishable offense to bring fruits and vegetables from other countries. The laws of this country remains same throughout the country as Chile is a unitary country. Although trains are also available from Peru and Bolivia, these lines are slow and unreliable. People within the continent can avail bus services from Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, etc.

Within the country, Microbuses Colectivo, and Metro facilities are available, which are very well organized and efficient. Leaving aside some trifle crimes and tendency of endemic diseases, tourists can look forward to a perfect vacation in Chile.

Poland’s capital Warsaw is a city of unshakeable stamina, a modern metropolis charged with history. The national beauty sweepstakes may have been won by Cracow years ago, and Gdańsk still claims the endless Baltic Sea, but neither matches Warsaw for its culture, verve and variety. Take note, too, that it has been earmarked as one of Europe’s cheapest cities for culture.

This is a large and sprawling metropolis of more than 1.7 million people, split into somewhat uneven halves by the Vistula River. Almost everything of interest to visitors is on the western side of its waters. Dominating the skyline here is the landmark Palace of Culture and Science, a “gift” from Stalin’s USSR in the 1950s. At 237m-high (778 ft), it’s the tallest building in Poland.

It’s the distant past that gives Warsaw its main sights. The so-called Royal Route (Trakt Królewski), which runs south from the city’s Old Town, passes a number of historical landmarks, including the royal gardens of Łazienki Park and the 17th-century Wilanów Palace.

The Old Town itself, however, is the chief set-piece attraction. “Old” is something of a misnomer – badly damaged by WWII bombing, the area was painstakingly rebuilt with such success that it was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1980. Sights in and around the Old Town include the Royal Castle, St John’s Cathedral and the Citadel. Further afield, visit Warsaw Rising Museum for the story of the courageous men and women who rose up against their occupiers in WWII.

Not surprisingly for a city that was essentially rebuilt from the ground up, Warsaw offers an inordinate amount of green space. When it’s sunny, leafy parks, rowing lakes, outdoor cafés and al fresco concerts create a mood far removed from the dull, Communist-era images of Warsaw.

The nightlife, meanwhile, is some of the best in Eastern Europe, with a multitude of bars and clubs scattered across the city as well as more highbrow entertainment such as classical music concerts and opera.
