Join your guide in a sentimental voyage back to Central Chile, to visit Valparaiso, Vina del Mar, Santiago, Sewell, the Juan Fernandez archipelago and many of the top attractions along the way.

Off the coast of Chile, way off the beaten track, the archipelago was once home to Alexander Selkirk, the Scottish castway who spent four years there and became the basis for the novel Robinson Crusoe. With limited tourism facilities, the archipelago is still a draw for the historical connections and unique wildlife.

Chile's premiere resort on the Chilean "Riviera" attracts Chileans and international visitors to the beaches, the casino, the elegant hotels and restaurants, the museums and spritely nightlife.

Sewell, also known as El Teniente, or the Lieutenant, is the site of the largest underground copper mine in the world. Today, workers at the mine and the administrative areas commute by car from the bottom of the mountain, but for many years, Sewell was accessible only by narrow gauge railroad. Sewell is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Join the discussion about Sewell, the "City of Staircases," with people who lived there.

Now a national monument, this mining camp had sixty-seven years of history, earthquakes and engineering accomplishments. Read the memories of some of the people who lived there. Photos!

Rancagua, located an hour south of Santiago, offers history, sports, cultural traditions, tours of the deepest copper mine in the world, world-class spas, a nature preserve, wine, rodeos and the traditional folk dance, the cueca championships.
