  Main cities

Santiago de Chile: Capital city, excellent seafood restaurants and starting point for a Chilean adventure.

San Pedro de Atacama: This small village is a great base to explore the Atacama desert, the Moon valley, and surrounding high mountain adventures, including salt lakes and lagoons.

Arica: gorgeous beaches on one side and altitude sickness on the other, this wonderful place offers a distinctive landscape when you get bored of the beach. Near the Andes mountains you can climb to 2.500 m.a.s.l. and back the same day.

What to Do

Santiago de Chile: Head to the main market for a traditional ceviche with pisco sour.

San Pedro de Atacama: There are plenty of things to do in this desert city, start by a trip to nearby Moon valley, cycling around is also a good idea there are plenty of places that rent bikes. There much more things to do, but sadly its almost impossible to do them by yourself, even if you rent a car. Many agencies offer daytrips to near by lagunas, lakes, salt flats and architectural places

  Food

Most of Chilean food is, no surprise, based on fish. with the whole western border facing the pacific ocean traditional dishes are Ceviche, Picante de Mariscos and Shrimp soup.

Ceviche Recipe: Ceviche is marinated fish.

Get any white fish you like, free of bones, fat parts and skin. Cut the fish in little dices of about 2cm each side. On the other hand prepare a mix in the mixer with lemon juice, garlic, parsley and the parts of the fish that left and blend.

With that mix marinate the raw fish for about 10 minutes and serve. Usually served with sweet potatoes, corn and red onions chopped on the top.
