Chile's top hot spots, from Andes to Easter Island (NYDailyNews.com): "The only problem with visiting Chile is deciding where to go first."
With all the varied climates and attractions of the country, the author narrows her choices to two: "Chile's lake country in the heart of the Andes and the mysterious Easter Island," with recommendations for lodgings in those areas and in Santiago.
Chile's Lake District has been likened to Switzerland, but Chile's spectacular arrangement of lakes, volcanos, rivers and waterfalls stand completely on its own as a major travel destination. Here you'll find the popular Cruce de Lagos, sailing, fishing, skiing, and more recreational acitivities.

Easter Island also known as Rapa Nui and the "Navel of the World" is the most isolated inhabited island in the world, being about 2000 mi (3200 km) from Chile, yet the distance doesn't prevent visitors from marveling at the moais and learning about the culture and mysteries of the island.
